My mom rescued 2 bunnies,a femalecheckered lop, the other amale dutch. She rescued them at thesame time from different places, and got the male fixed shortlyafter.Apparantly the young male was able to impregnate thelop before he got fixed because last night, the female gave birth toONE baby in her cage.My momdidn't even know she waspregnant. The baby was dead by the time she found it. I was surprisedat the size of the baby - it seemed too BIG. It was about 6-8 incheslong, about 2 inches wide, and already had white and black checkeredfuzz on it.
Is 6-8 inches long normal?! I thought the baby would be much smaller,like 3 inches. I can't find anything on the web saying how big newbornrabbits are supposed to be. Looking at it, im surprised it didn't killthe mom coming out.
Also - isn'tit abnormal for arabbit to give birth to only one baby?
Thanks for any info!
