Hello to all members..were the Ritchie family out of Brantford ontario canada. Were totally new at this rabbit thing. We were given a feamle califorinan rabblt. She had been bred with a male Flemish giant. We have a mini rabbitry with a wire cage and a wooden box attached to it. Kinda like a hen house per say. Anyway lastnight (Lucy) our girl had 10 kits! much to our suprise. When we checked on them this morning sadly enough all 10 were frozen and dead. Her nesting box was full of straw. She didnt decide to build her nest untill she was within hours of giving birth. She did manage to pull out a bunch of fur but didnt mix it with the straw. Is there anything I could have done to prevent this from happening? As you could imagine its extremely dissapointing to have gone tru all this work with such a sad demise for the kits. Again were new at all this but have a TON of support from a friend thats been doing this for many years..He said it sucks but it happens....Bad mom i suppose. Anyway ill look forward to reading all your replies and im off to work now..![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
