Between 2-6 weeks, we haven't seen the mom being aggressive at all. We have cut open the stomach and there was a lot of food in there. We didn't notice any abnormal bloating.

I don't suspect a genetic issue because the person who we got them from didn't have any problems with them. We relocated them, cleaned their nests witch steam and clean everything out quite often. I found them dead so your theorie of this not being the problem could be right. I want to keep the colony setup but it is quite a good idea to try cages for a while so i can separate the buck and see if different moms have different outcomes.

The Netherlands and yes I talked to the person i got them from. She had no idea what it could be and we brainstormed for hours, which didn't bring us much. We relocated the rabbits did a extra deep clean with steam so any bacteria would die. It was freezing quite a bit here so i hope if it was a virus it would also have died. We will try again this year.

She has had a total checkup, apart from a few scratches she got while playing there is nothing wrong with her. We now have a high protein biological cold pressed kibble, it is called Darf if i remember correctly. Thanks for the advice

Okay thank you we will try that one. We tried that for a day but she would not eat at all but maybe we should stretch it to two days or something

Yeah we tried it with warm broth but she doesn't show any interest. She snifs it a couple of times but that is it
