Hey there, I'm Surgeon and I have a nearly two-year old doe. She had her second litter of rabbits around 7 or perhaps 8 days ago. She gave birth to five kits, with the pass of the days they all seemed to grow healthy and nicely, but yesterday at 2 am one of the smaller ones turned lethargic, the kit felt so hard and cold on my hand as it was hardly breathing. As soon as I took it on my hand, the little thing slowly stretched its legs, curved its neck, opened its mouth and died on my hands. I buried it the next day. Tonight three kits died in the same way, every single one on my hand, dying one by one. And another kit just.. Disappeared, leaving no traces or clues. I don't know what happened, as there was absolutely no way for them to escape, the kits didn't even knew how to walk and I looked everywhere for the missing kit and I never found it. The mother doe is well-cared, I give her quality hay and good rabbit food, she's in good health and has her vaccines up to date. In her first litter she birthed seven kits, all of them reached 3 months of age with no issue, even the weakest rabbit lived 4 months before dying mysteriously. These didn't even last two weeks. I don't know what happened with this litter. Please, help me understand
