Lately I’ve been struggling a lot with my rabbit business.
I’ve had 18 dead rabbits in under a week.
All of the deceased were under a 2 days old, a total of three litters gone with no survivors.
How did this happen? The tricky thing is, I don’t know. The only things I’m sure of is that the rabbits in question were born at night and dead by morning. (With the exception of one litter, born at night and dead the morning after.)
One of the does that gave birth is now a proven bad mom, and is going to be dispatched next time I butcher a round of meat rabbits.
Losing 18 kits definitely put a damper on my mood, but I’m hoping that I can learn from this and not have it happen again. It’s a huge money loss, and also the bunny babies were super cute but didn’t make it, which is also sad.
Praying for guidance and hoping for better results next time.
