I lost 26 kits last night temp was 32. I seen to it they had straw and fur, I made sure they was covered before went to bed. This morning half of my kits all dead. Whole litters. Others in same area doing just fine. They act like they cold, saved some by warming them. Put more straw and fur in box went out later and they almost dead agin. Afraid might lose rest of kits. Help please. Rusty
Sorry to hear about your losses. Can you take the nest boxes inside for the night? That would be the best thing to do.
THis is what i use to do. When the weather got to cold and i couldnt sleep knowing there was new borns out there. So i put a number on the nesting box to match the number on the cage. (only if you have more than 2). THen i put them out first thing in the morning. I had a mother rabbit just waiting for her box and she would jump in the box when i was putting in the door of her cage. It wasnt even all the way in when she would jump in it. The moms are ok with it. At least you still have live babies. WHen they are about 3 weeks old. You dont have to do that anymore. Or sooner.
