One of my rabbits unexpectedly gave birth three days ago. (We had the male neutered and explicitly asked if it was okay to put him back with the female. The vet said yes, no chance of pregnancy but obviously now I know that’s not correct).
I spent hours upon hours googling everything I needed to know and everything told me that it’s rare to see the mom feeding her babies but that most of the time she is and just keep an eye on the babies. The babies have been actively wiggling around so I wasn’t too stressed until tonight. I noticed one of them wasn’t moving much. Up until now I haven’t touched them even though the internet said it should be fine, I wanted to take every precaution. But I picked the little one up and they felt a little chilly. I noticed the belly’s weren’t bloated like everything I read said it should be. I could just be paranoid but I don’t know what to do. It’s impossible to get the mom to lay still let alone roll her on her back and check to see if she’s producing milk. I tried putting my hand under her belly when she was laying but she constantly moves. Im freaking out and I don’t know what to do does anyone have any advice?
Here’s the little one I was holding for reference.
