If it's beside its living sibling those kits havent been fed and will die

But honestly looks like slightly bigger peanut

First litter for the doe? Could be inexperience.

Looking at your original post you said that he stopped eating hay a year ago. That's when you introduced the kale. Is he looking acting appearing healthy? Is his urine a normal colour? If so why are you worrying?

She sounds like a pregnant doe telling the boy to back off politely.

You can't always know why. I suspect due to the separation in birth times she's too narrow and shouldn't be bred

If you know the one has done damage to the other why do you keep them together? You know rabbits can kill each other right? When you breed rabbits only breed what you are looking To have. If you want a nice secure easy to handle rabbit breed for it.

They are currently too young to know if they are Show quality. To show a tricolor their markings need to be evenly matched. The first will never be show quality as it doesn't have enough black

Defining terminology is important. Your one doe is not being aggressive...she is being territorial. She is protecting her space. Neutering may or may not tone that down. What she needs to learn is that her space IS your space as well. Sometimes breeding such does once calms them down...

at five weeks, you can just remove the lot of them. Or just remove her to a different cage. I find with my does removing the doe makes it easier on the kits. She won't be stressed. If she has a WHOLE BUNCH of kits (as in more than five) best to wean kits off more slowly as it helps her milk...

rabbits can give birth every four weeks (on the dot). as long as she is in good condition she'll be just fine.

don't let size intimidate you. Many bigger breeds are so laid back that nothing much matters to them...especially those bigger girls or boys. Just get a bun that fits well with yours.

Female rabbit. Neutered if can find.

Sable most likely. The shine on their coat points that way.

Hormones do weird things with rabbits. Pulling more fur anytime up to a week post kindle is normal. Kit probably got dragged out of box and momma was just tidying up. Nothing wrong with just an unsuccessful litter.

Chances are REALLY high that now that the two does have been separated that they won't go back together again. A mother rabbit won't step in to protect her kits once they are of age to be weaned (and four weeks is right at that mark).

Are you feeding her a fully balanced diet?

and it's a tumour not an abscess? Here's hoping she handles the surgery okay

If he is healthy and growing size doesnt matter. Check over really well...including teeth if you plan to buy. Sometimes there is a health reason gor smaller size.

sell them for enough to make it worth keeping them. The doe is not too old. The buck may have a bit of a learning curve. consider what you will do if you don't sell them all.
