Do rabbits eat their babies?
— No. They aren’t like gerbils. We handle all of our babies the day after they are born. BUT if a mother is confused (especially if it is her first litter) she may accidentally eat a baby when she trims their cord, or if she is trying to pull them out of the birth canal. She may also eat a brand new baby in confusion if she is extremely scared. This is why you should always put birthing mothers in a quite stress free place.
