why did my rabbit bite one of her babies ears?
My doe rabbit had 4 babies 5 weeks ago. They are housed in a hutch outdoors. Late last night I heard a squeal, I went out with the torch but all the rabbits seemed okay, i have other rabbits in seperate hutches too. Today i noticed that one of the 5 week old rabbits had a slit in her ear, surely this can only be because the mother had bit it. Does anyone know why she would have done this. She has looked after her babies really well so far, this is her 1st litter.

Rabbits nature is to somehow tell there rabbits that there old enough to get on with own lives and they don't need the mother anymore. Your Doe could be nipping at the babies to say go and get on with your lives. If i were you i would separate them!
