My English Lop just had a breech baby, and lost it, and I knew she had to have more than one baby but wasnt contracting. The vet said (of course) if i had the money he could xray her and see if there were more bunniies inside. So,I thought long and hard and decided that if she were to nurse a bunny, it may start contractions again . I gave her 2, 10 day old bunnies from another litter, and guess what! It worked, she expelled the other bunnies (stillborn) And accepted the foster bunnies as her own. I stopped by the vet's and let him know-he was really surprised! |

Good job, Lorraine! Nursing usually helps the body release oxytocin which helps the contractions as well as the let down of milk! Great fast thinking!

I would have never thought of that Lorraine. Hats off to you. We had rabbbits several years ago and they are fun. I had a mini lop that was so sweet. She was chocolate color. Hope things go better next time. Was this her first litter?

I am sorry about the babies, but I am so happy to hear that momma made it through and is happy with her fosters. Congrats!
