was this a first time mother?! unfortunatly its incredibly common to loose the first litter first timers dont make a deep enough nest or have em on the wire ect...
new born buns are typically ok in the cold as long as the nest is good enough and momma is attentive...
if there first timers id give them one more chance...
if not i think id be "rehoming" (in whatever way nessicary) and starting again with some proven stock.

such a shame, i know how excited you were for this one after the last dissapointment...
what kind of rabbits are they and what kind of set up are they in?! (wire, indoors? hutches? ect)

She isnt a newbie, and she has been proven before, in April. So I dont know.......Im rebreeding her

They are French lops in out side hutches with wire floors, and they have nest boxes.

never dealt with frenchies before but i do know english are notoriously hard to sucessfully breed

yeah id give them another chance and then if nothing...it may just be the season, some buns do great as winter breeders, others not so mcuh.

got my fingers crossed for ya :)

So sorry to hear that. I could tell you were very excited about it. :hugs

ETA: After reading through your journal, I gotta tell you, If I had a kid, I'd want him to be just like you! You are an inspiration! Thanks!
