I went through it this past March when I had two of my bunnies give birth within a few days. The one mother killed all of her babies and the second mother was not caring for her babies. I managed to save one baby out of 8 and it took a lot of caring and dedication on my part . I had to force the mother that killed her babies to feed him twice a day for about 4 weeks and also wipe his but from front to back to make sure he was going number 1 and 2.. I kept him warm in one of my fluffy slippers in his own cage and watched him grow from a little piglet to a white bunny with blue eyes(and a touch of red). He is now 7 months old and every time I look at him I know that he is here because I cared. <br /><br /> I keep my bunnies as pets but regardless of what the purpose of their life is, what matters is that you cared and as you said you did actually give a shit about their quality of life. It is funny because the lady that educated me on how to take care of baby bunnies is a rabbit breeder. I talked to her for about 2 hours to find out all about her as well as what I needed to do to save the baby bunny. She breeds the rabbits to sell them for meat. She takes very good care of them to make sure that their quality of life is the best for the time they are with her. She truly cares about all of them but has to do it because it is her means of making a living. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your experience and better luck next time!Jen Chislettnoreply@blogger.com
