As I have mentioned in my earlier post about our LionHead bunnies, Pippin is the female and Plumley is the male. I didn't know that Pippin was pregnant. It was a huge surprise when I came to feed them today and found blood in their cage. I thought one of them got hurt and bleeding but I saw a kit that I initially thought was a rat. As I inspected closely, I found out that she has given birth to a littler of 4 kits. My heart sank when I saw that one of them is dead already. I think the Dad killed it. I felt so bad. I immediately separated Plumley away from them.
When we had Matilda and Wubzy before, the former never got pregnant so we never experienced this. When our former bunnies died, the kids really wanted a replacement for them so we got Pippin and Plumley. Since I never had any experience having a litter of kits, we searched on how to properly take care of them. I found this article from WikiHow very helpful for a first timer like us.
I do hope that the kits survived, they seem to be very weak when I found them. Pippin seem to not know what to do but I am hoping that she would figure it out. I keep moving the kids because she keep stepping on them, I think she got freaked out that one of them died.
