The rabbit may have a runt in the second batch, but just as well may not. It depends on many factors including the buck, and how many kits are in the litter. One cannot say that she would or would not have a runt for sure.
You should step in to help a baby runt rabbit if it is noticeably weaker than its siblings, not gaining weight, or if it appears lethargic and is struggling to compete for food. If the mother is neglecting it or if the runt is cold or unresponsive, immediate intervention is necessary. However, if the mother is caring for all her young and the runt is simply smaller, it’s best to let nature take its course, as she may know how to manage her litter. Always consult a wildlife rehabilitator for guidance in such situations.

Runt rabbits may be less developed and face challenges in competing for food and warmth with their siblings. Caregivers often need to monitor runts closely, as they may require additional support or feeding to ensure they thrive alongside their healthier siblings. Despite their initial disadvantages, some runts can grow strong with proper care and attention.
