Today I had my worst day so far as a rabbit breeder. I went out this morning to find 13 beautiful red New Zealand kits chilled beyond revival. I had seen signs that their dam was pregnant but I didn’t breed her. I do not know how she came about pregnant, but it is truly a horrific sight. She didn’t pull fur or anything like that. But she cleaned them all to perfection and took care of their umbilical cords. She’s always been a very loving mom and I knew she had every intention on trying to take care of all these pretty babies. I cried when I walked out to see my big red doe in her cage littered with dead kits. These are the days that make you want to give up😢
