It isn't the father of the ducklings that kills the ducklings, it is another male who is hoping to push the mother into a breeding state so he can have his own ducklings.
No, buck rabbits (male rabbits) do not typically kill their young. In fact, male rabbits play little to no role in caring for or raising the young. It is the female rabbits (does) who are primarily responsible for caring for their offspring.
no they do not kill rabbits for moccasins they use foe fur and if you know what a rabbit fur feels like its wayyy softer
A fox can kill a rabbit by using its speed, agility, and sharp teeth to catch and overpower the rabbit. Foxes are natural predators and hunt small animals such as rabbits for food. They may ambush the rabbit, chase it down, or use their stealth to catch it off guard.
There is a danger that the male will eat the kits, this is one good reason why the male should not be kept with the female once she is pregnant and kindling. Until the kits have been weaned and are leaving their mother the father should be kept away!
if your rabbit is inside the house, then no, but if it isn't, then probably.
no, but the male rabbit will impregnate the female baby offspring when they mature. so young rabbits will not kill the baby rabbit.

Raccoons will kill and eat rabbits, particularly baby rabbits which are too young to escape by running.
NO, male rabbits are territorial and may hurt the baby. I concure! I would recommend that you not only keep your baby rabbits away from all adult male rabbits (bucks), but also do not let the bucks be around you without a someone that is atleast a teenager and knowledgeful of rabbit behavior as they are prone to be territorial among each other and may fight it out. Buck rabbits will kill infant rabbits and I have seen this happen as I was a rabbit breeder. There was only one buck rabbit I know of that did not do this and he was our most well behaved rabbit and this was only under my (as the family rabbit breeder and the one that studied it the most) supervision.
Rabbits, especially unaltered adult rabbits or rabbits who have been abused/neglected, will sometimes fight other rabbits and cause deadly wounds. (Even a small skin wound can develop into a life-threatening infection.) See the related question below for more info. A rabbit could also kill another rabbit without meaning to by infecting it with a deadly disease. Adult rabbits have been known to kill baby rabbits accidentally (trampling), and purposefully (cannibalism -- this is a much discussed but in actuality an unusual circumstance, often resulting from stress).
You probably touched the kits when the mother rabbit was looking. That's when she will kill her young. First remove the baby rabbits, then bring it to the vet. The vet will examine them to make sure that they have any wounds, cuts, or bruises. The vet will give the baby rabbits some medicine and milk.
First Answer: Ferrets don't eat rabbits. Most rabbits are too big for them to consume. A different answer: Actually, ferrets and all weasels do attack, kill, and eat rabbits. Their method is to jump on the rabbit's back, where the rabbit can't defend themselves; they grip on to the rabbit's neck with their teeth until the rabbit loses strength and dies. Ferrets also kill and eat baby rabbits. In the home, it's very unlikely that a rabbit-ferret friendship will develop; oddly enough, it's much more likely that a rabbit will get along with a pet cat or dog!

No! The babies will be semi-wild, but still sweet! Wild rabbits do it! Don't kill the rabbit!
Check behind your rabbis ear, if you see baby flies your rabbit is in danger. The best idea is to try to flick them or peel off with gloves.
you have to be very careful separating your baby rabbits because, if you leave it to long the mother will suffer superior depression. make sure your rabbits are feeding well and then after roughly 1and a half-2 weeks is about the right time to separate them. NOTE: make sure the owner your giving them too either has rabbit handling experience ( e.g. has or has had a rabbit) to ensure that the baby will live a happy life without its mother.
Yes, a cat may kill a rabbit as cats are natural predators and may hunt smaller animals like rabbits.
