BABY RABBIT TRAGEDY - 1st Time Mom Struggles - 1.24.25

Sadly, these things happen on the homestead occasionally. Hemi is a first-time mom and our mentors say to give them three tries at having a successful litter before removing them from your breeding program. Hemi's first breeding resulted in a false pregnancy. This video shows the results of her second breeding.

sad... I live here near st louis and when I had rabbits, I never bred em to have babies in the winter. Thanks for sharing.

Our bucks go sterile in the summer. Did you keep yours in climate control?

[@toddforhetz]

@@rockycanyoncreek_homestead no we bred early spring. Just once a year.

Chances are that if there was fur in there and those weren’t covered up that they were still born rather than just “not covered up.” From my experience, cold kits will find the cluster so long as they are alive.
