Rabbit Cannibalism of Kits: Causes and Prevention

Cannibalism of kits is a metabolic and nutritional disorder that peaks right after kindling, driven by salt, calcium, protein, or B-vitamin gaps, thirst, fright, odd smells, or poor mothering. Signs are missing kits with blood in the box. Prevent with complete feed, ample water, no handling of kits, quiet surroundings, and isolating the doe if she has the habit.
