Will Rabbits Eat Their Babies?

Rabbits are known to be prey animals because they hide from predators. When a predator gets near a rabbit’s nest, the mother does everything she can to protect her babies. If the rabbits feel threatened enough, they may resort to eating their young. Baby rabbits will eat their young if you try to hand-feed them without their mother. In the wild, baby rabbits that lost their mothers would starve to death or become prey themselves, so it is natural for them to eat each other when mom isn’t around.

In general no but there are exceptions especially if it has been taken away from mum too soon and needs feeding with milk or if perhaps mum has died and u have tried other does who suckle your babies like their own

Rabbits do not naturally eat their young. There is one exception in the case of a rabbit mother dying and leaving her newborn litter behind, who would then resort to eating its siblings if they didn’t receive milk from another animal in time. The only reason this tends to happen in rabbits is that there are so many breeds and types of rabbits – some breeds have different temperaments than others! Some may be more likely to eat their babies than others, but it’s never natural for a mommy rabbit.

You can hand-feed baby bunnies that lost their mother (only if they’re less than five days old), but you need to make sure that they stay warm enough; too cold and they will die within hours. Otherwise, it’s best to leave them be and allow nature to take its course.

There are a lot of different types of rabbits, so it’s hard to say exactly what will happen in any given situation. In general, rabbits will not eat their young – but there are always exceptions. For example, if the mother rabbit dies and leaves her babies behind, the babies may start to eat each other in order to survive. This only happens if the babies are less than five days old and haven’t been able to get milk from another animal. Otherwise, it’s best to leave baby rabbits alone and let nature take its course.
