Hey guys. I haven't posted on here in few years, but I really have some questions I'd like answered regarding my bunnies miscarriage.
First let me say I have two holland lops, one doe one buck.
She is an amazing mom having done two litters in the past. She has never had a peanut or dead kit.. And has produced 8 very adorable babies!
Her most alive recent litter was born on March 25th. On the day they turned two weeks old there was an accident where both bunnies were out together (long story).
I was worried because it was obviously too soon it seemed for her to be rebred, but was assured by some online breeding websites. I made sure the current little bunnies weaned off early so she would not be as stressed
Last night I had walked in to see a few red globs on the ground. It would have been day 30. Since never seeing a completely undeveloped fetus I assumed that was her miscarriage or placenta or something. She was sooo bloody.
This morning I awoke to a scattered litter of four kits. All cold and dead but developed. A nest was attempted but not much was in the box.
I have just came home from work to find two more in the box, dead.. And I see on her litter box a fetus the size of a quarter and a red glob.
I really don't know much in the medical field but are these both placentas? Can someone help me put the pieces together? Why was there that tiny fetus? Why were the bunnies scattered? I heard that's a first time mama thing. Did they die inside or out? Is mom going to be okay? I understand this is a fact of life and move on, but all the pieces seem so confusing!
