I have these two kits whose mother started to eat them maybe 45mins after giving birth. She completely removed the legs, ears, and genitals from one, I culled it.
She bit off half an ear and the end of the second baby's tail. The third one (second living baby) is the one I'm most worried about, it has no ears and also has three damaged feet, but it's the most aggressive feeder and the most robust in general. Could the third baby live with half of three feet? Has anyone successfully raised babies with damaged feet? I know most people would cull them but they're both still kicking and fighting, I'm okay with them having special needs and not being showable (they're pedigreed NDs), but I just want to see if you guys might have some advice going forward.
