I don't usually have many problems besides the usual loosing a runt here and there... But on the occasions things go wrong multiple things seem to go wrong at once. When it rains it pours. It is usually a reminder that I really should pay more attention to my almanacs.

I used to breed 10-15 does at a time. Then I would be out in the rabbitry every 2 hours all night. I would tuck a single cold kit I found out on the wire into my bra to warm up. Several times I scooped up a whole litter, took them in the house and put the little ice cubes on my belly to warm up, and went back to sleep.

It sucks to lose so many. It sucks to do all you can do, and they still die. I am sorry for the hard time you are having with your rabbits right now. Hang in there, just as sure as it all goes wrong, the next go-round, it will all go right.
