My moms run from their babies a lot. I think you are right that they just nurse a few times a day so most of what we see is them avoiding the babies. I've only been breeding rabbits for about eight months so maybe someone with more experience can answer your question. Sounds like everyone is...

Wow Vicki I've never experienced anything like this. Could they be molting because of hot weather?

Very exciting!,

I would not hold out much hope for the survival of your last kit. Many first time moms loose their litters to neglect. I started my rabbitry with five does and they all lost their first litters. I would breed her again right away if she were mine. I've heard the three strikes rule on moms many...

Congratulations on your first litter!

Too cute! Congratulations!

You could try putting those babies in with your other doe.

I also wean all my buns at 4 weeks and they do great. Enjoy your new rabbits!

Congratulations!, Baby bunnies are the cutest little fur babies. Enjoy!,

Sounds like you are ready to dive into rabbit breeding. You will love it. Good luck!

Calf manna is a pellet that is available at all feed stores. I get mine at Tractor Supply. I do give 1/4 cup in addition to regular feed. All my pregnant does have done great on it. I continue it till I begin to wean.

Wow! Congratulations to you and your sister. Great start with your new does. Sounds like they are going to be good moms. The blood spotting sounds consistent with my experience. It takes a day or two for moms milk to completely come in and I bet your babies are all already starting to get full...

Ive had a lot better luck at getting healthy kits and moms by giving my pregnant does 1/4 cup of calf manna each day after they are bred. I continue this until kits are weaned.

I wean all my kits between four and five weeks and they have all done very well.

If she were my doe I would leave them alone and let nature take its course. All of my does lost their first two litters but are now very good moms. I would not have the time nor the patience to try to hold a full grown doe on her back twice a day for enough time for kits to nurse. But then I am...

Beautiful doe Alsea!

First litters are so exciting. Enjoy!

Im very sorry for your loss. I too have lost a doe unexpectedly. She was due to kindle the next day. Nature can be cruel at times.

I wean my buns at 4 weeks.

I would not take the chance.
