Will rabbits kill their babies

Answer 1

It is rare but they can do if there is a lack of food or water. Stress and cramped conditions can also be a factor. It might be safer to remove the male from the environment until the babies are bigger.

Answer 2

Actually, he will. you have to keep males and babies separated-the male WILL eat any baby rabbits he finds.

rabbits don't eat babies for food, so it's irrelevant that they're herbivores. Rabbits kill, maim, and/or eat babies because they are under stress, not because they're hungry. In the wild this never (or very rarely) happens, but domestication does strange things to animals, and it's quite common for rabbits to hurt baby rabbits when they're being bred on purpose. The doe and her babies must be kept separate from other rabbits to protect them. Generally speaking, all domestic breeding rabbits should be kept separate because they will very likely fight and attack each other. Pet rabbits, on the other hand, should be fixed (spay/neuter) and "bonded" so they can live together happily.

Answer 3

Yes here is why.

-Someone or some animal touched it.

-There is an animal or person that keeps staring at it or making it nervous

-There are too many human scents on the rabbits stuff

-Someone keeps bothering the mother and its babies

-Or someone played with the mother too much when it was pregnant

Answer 4

Mother rabbits are particularly sensitive to interference when babies are new; once you know she is pregnant, remove the male to another area. Male rabbits may be aggressive, and his presence may cause her to ignore the newborns.

Answer 5

yes they do. They are very aggresive and attractive

Answer 6

They kill their youngs because they want to live freely and this is the correct because I googled it.
