A rabbit's natural instinct is to protect the herd (warren). In the wild dead baby bunnies attract predators so the mothers will eat them. They also eat any after birth.
Sometimes mothers who are having a hard time giving birth will bite and/or tear at the babies while giving birth. This is why so many of the breeds with bull dog type heads have such low live birth ratios. It is hard for the mothers to give birth.

What do newborn bunnies eat?
Newborn bunnies drink their mother's milk (and eat their mother's cecotropes).Hand-fed bunnies do not have a great survival rate, but if it has to happen, they're fed with a special milk substitute formula (and they should also be fed cecotropes from an adult rabbit). Not just any formula will do; hand-rearing must be done under guidance from a rabbit vet or experienced rabbit rescuer.Baby bunnies start to eat solid foods around 4 weeks of age, but they aren't fully weaned until about 6 weeks. At that point they eat hay and pellets. Vegetables and fruit can be unhealthy for baby rabbits. Fresh greens can be introduced at around 12 weeks (in tiny portions daily, but watch for diarrhea or other signs of ill health). Treats like fruit and carrot can be offered (tiny portions once a week or so) at 6 months. At 7 months they should begin slowly transitioning to an adult diet.Wild baby rabbits eat the same diet that domestic baby rabbits eat. When they start eating solid foods, instead of hay and pellets they eat wild (and sometimes cultivated) grasses, weeds, herbs, some vegetables, and very small amounts of roots, grains, and fruit.
