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.

Should you introduce a buck to a baby rabbit?

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.


Can a rabbit kill another rabbit and how?

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).


What to do if the mother rabbit attacks the baby bunnie?

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.


Do ferrets eat bunnies?

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!
