Video of Bambi giving birth. The footage is raw, and contains blood, the birthing process and placenta consumption. 2 weeks ago I had the privilege of witnessing Bambi give birth. Bambi let me stay nearby and watch, demonstrating the trust we’ve built with each other over the past 5 years. Typically rabbits will conceal the birthing process, kindling at night or early morning. They may even hold off kindling until their environment is entirely safe, with no humans nearby. Bambi had 6 kits and all were alive at birth. 1 was born underdeveloped and within the amniotic sac however. Bambi ruptured the sac shortly after birth, but sadly baby passed 10 minutes later. This was to be expected due to her/his underdevelopment. The video shows Bambi birthing, eating placenta, and the babies taking their first breaths. The video may be confronting for some, however the way the process unfolded was typical of a healthy birthing process for rabbits. Bambi did an amazing job helping her babies begin their journeys, as she has done so on many occasions over the years. I hope you find this incredible footage interesting and feel free to ask questions or make comments. As always I’m happy to share knowledge and help others.
