Overrun with beasties
So I had taken in my brother's rabbits but NOBODY was supposed to be bred. Well apparently during the dog attack somebody took the opportunity to do the deed because I just found 3 kits on the ground outside the mama rabbit's cage. They can't have been more than about an hour old. Still warm. One is small. There was NO nesting behavior until I went out to feed a little bit ago and saw some pulled fur. Starting futzing around to make her a nesting box just in case and poof, I saw blood and gook on the ground. Then found kits one two and three. Three is small and had crawled the furthest. All boys. Cut down a 1/2 bushel cardboard box and put some dried grass (we mowed yesterday) her pulled fur and the kits in there and moved her to a bigger cage that would hold the box. Didn't want to move them but really didn't have a choice. She freaked about the cage move for all of about 30 seconds and then settled down to checking on the babies.
3 boys. Picks to come. I'm going to leave them all alone for the evening to resettle and hopefully nurse.
