Why do my rabbit babies keep dying?

My female rabbit has given birth for the second time and just like the last litter she had, they live for 2 months and then they start to die off. I have woke up some mornings and found that some of them are on the outside of the cage. Is she not wanting them and pushing them out of her cage and neglecting them?





How do I keep them from dying and keep her from pushing them out the cage?Why do my rabbit babies keep dying?
chances are she wants them to go live by themselves, i used to breed my doe and i kept one of her babies,a couple of months after having them separated they both wouldnt get along and the baby would have phantom pregnancy's and make a nest,but instead of using her own fur to line th nest she would rip at her mothers fur and use that





i suggest you sell the babies at 6-7 weeks old before mama starts hurting themWhy do my rabbit babies keep dying?
it sounds like she doesn't want them. she is a bad breeder and does not care for the babies, or kills them, if you want to continue breeding, get another female, because she will do the same to all of them. also, i would get a cage that the babies cannot fall out of.........
This happened when my rabbit had babies. Sometimes when the mother is nervous or anxious about her environment (there could be loud sounds, dogs, or predators near her cage) This causes her to try to kill her babies because is nervous about something getting them. I would try to move her cage to another quiet spot with the babies. This would help her feel more safe. Good Luck!! =) %26lt;3.
shes a bit** u when she has babies u should kik her out and keep her babies dat way she wont kill them
Wean the next litter at 6 weeks.


2 months is too long for most does to nurse their litters.
