Hi,
I have a doe that keeps eating her kits when they are born. She has had 3 litters: 1 on the wire and various degrees of eaten, but definitely dead. So I chalked this up to my fault. #2 she ate/killed 5 of 7, #3 kindled this morning and she started to eat 3 of 8.
I moved all 8 to another doe and put a litter of 1 week olds in this doe's box. 2 of 3 definitely won't make it but I'm going to let nature decide.
I've seen an occasional ear, part of a foot, or a tail over the years, but not anything like this.
Anyone have experience with this?
