Mini lops!

Ok back story.......My doe Splash (mini lop) Gave birth 4 days ago to a HUGE litter of 11 kits. Sadly 1 died in birth and the 2 runts died. Then 1 day later 3 more died for no apparent reason. Then today 1 of the bigger but still a runt kit died. Now there are 4 HUGE and FAT kits. Can they over drink their moms milk? Their stomachs are so big they look swollen! Could they die from to much milk?!?!?! I will post pics later....

They won't die from over drinking. It may seem like they are getting a lot of milk, but they are really only getting a small amount each day. It is a good thing that they are that big!

As a mom who nursed her kiddos many years ago, I honestly don't think a baby will drink more than what is comforting to the tummy. Just my opinion.
