Leaving out lots of details but I have a doe who is 1.5 years old and almost 2 weeks pregnant and she is not eating much. I don't know when it started but I have only had her for 3 weeks and changed her to a crock about 4 days ago and have been measuring her food twice a day and she is eating less than 1/4 a cup and drinking about 6-8 oz per day. I would really like to keep her as a breeder but I would rather cull her then let her starve. So is there any ideas on what this could be? The food is a fresh bag but the same brand she has been on for her life, the other rabbits are fine except for ear mites which we treated for a few days ago. This girl doesn't have any lumps or masses I could feel and I can't check her teeth as she is not comfortable with me yet. She has large litters and is a great mom so long as you don't touch the kits until the eyes are opened. Please help if you have any ideas or even your opinion on if I should cull or let her keep going.
