Sounds like she's doing good!

The one foster mom I had who only had one baby would feed him all the time and he ended up so fat. It was really cute.

Did mum's milk dry up? I hada first time mumwho's milk randomly went dry after 2 weeks and the babies starteddying. I lost 3, but was able to foster the other two on another doe.

i guess maybe it did b/c the other 6 died....andthis one is suffering still... i put her back in the cage to be besideher mom. i really hate this happened...i dont have another mom that hasbabies and has milk. im so upset about this b/c she was doing so welland was getting her little hair in and had a fat belly.... im going totry to lay down i guess.... :tears2:

It happens. Can you try and help her nurse?That's probably the best thing you can do right now to make sure shedoesn't get too weak.

i def did try to get her to nurse but i guess itwas too late.....im guessing there was no milk left. i hate that thebaby had to suffer like that... i feel horrible. i checked her thismorning and she had passed.

I'm so sorry about your loss. I do understand itas I got up this morning to find out we'd lost a kit too. I had figuredwe would - sometimes you just can't help them. But it stillhurt...

I hate losing kits too...don't we all. It usedtoreally bother me when my rabbits were strictly pet and 4H projects. Nowthat I have so many and I breed so much...it doesn't really get to meas badly. Its still sad, and I always wish it to not happen, but happenit does on occasion and It doesn't hurt so deeply anymoreTo lose onekit and have 4 other litters survive...then I still have alot of babies.

So, enjoy the babies you do have, that di make it. Be proud that helpedraise them and be second mommmy to them. Take pride in youraccomplishments, and don't dwell on your losses too long.
