HOW TO PREVENT PREDATORS FROM KILLING RABBIT BABIES 🐰⚠️

Many rabbit farmers blame the mother when kits die… but in most cases, predators are the silent killers.
If you don’t protect your farm, you will keep losing babies.


Here are effective ways to prevent it:
1️⃣ Secure Cage Compartment for Pregnant & Nursing Mothers
Provide a well-locked, properly covered cage. Use strong wire mesh (small holes). Avoid broken floors or weak wooden cages rats can chew through.

2️⃣ Use Properly Managed Rat Control
Control rat infestation early. If you use rat poison, place it where rabbits cannot access it. Better still, combine traps with poison to reduce risk of accidental poisoning.

3️⃣ Introduce Trained Cats or Dogs (With Caution)
Cats and dogs can reduce rodents — but they must be trained. An untrained animal is another predator. Never allow them direct access to cages.

4️⃣ Clear Bushes & Clutter Around the Farm
Bushes, wood piles, and debris create hiding spots for rats and snakes. Keep surroundings clean and open.

5️⃣ Raise Cages Off the Ground
Ground-level cages make it easy for snakes, rats, and ants to enter. Elevate cages at least 2–3 feet above ground level.

6️⃣ Use Proper Nest Boxes
Provide a secure nest box with a small entrance that only the mother can access easily. This protects kits from exposure and predators.

7️⃣ Block Every Small Hole in the Rabbitry
Rats only need very small openings to enter. Seal cracks, holes, and spaces around doors and roofing.

8️⃣ Install Wire Mesh Under Cages
Adding wire mesh below cage stands prevents predators from climbing up.

9️⃣ Night Inspection is Important
Most attacks happen at night. Regularly inspect your farm in the evening.

🔟 Control Ant Infestation
Ants can kill newborn kits within hours. Apply safe anti-ant measures around (not inside) cages.


👉 Predator control is cheaper than losing a whole litter.
Protect the babies before they arrive.

The Hardest Lesson in 2+ Years of Rabbit Farming

​To my fellow farmers and followers, I’ve always shared the wins, but today I’m sharing a heartbreaking loss. Within just one week, I’ve lost a significant part of my colony—a loss valued at over 110,000 Naira.

​It wasn't just one thing; it was a "perfect storm." After surviving a bout of GI Stasis caused by a bad feed batch, my rabbits were exposed to toxins from fallen leaves of the Masquerade (Ashoka) tree while roaming.

I watched healthy rabbits lose control of their necks (Head Tilt) and pass away within hours.


​WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT NOW TO SAVE the survivors:

​The 1ml Rule: I've learned the hard way that stress kills faster than poison. I am now administering Charcoal and Vitamin B-Complex in tiny 1ml doses only when the rabbit is 100% calm to prevent choking (aspiration).

​Neutralizing Toxins: Using wood charcoal powder mixed into the feed to naturally bind toxins.
​Nerve Repair: Using Infant B-Complex and Vitamin C syrups to help their nervous systems recover from the "Wry Neck" symptoms.


​It hurts to see many years of hard work hit this way, but I am not giving up. I am documenting everything—the mistakes, the heartbreak, and the "Miracle Rabbit" who is currently fighting for her life..


​Stay tuned for the full video. We learn, we cry, but we rebuild.

Every Rabbit Farmer Needs This Medication Box (Don’t Learn the Hard Way)

Many rabbit losses don’t happen because farmers are careless — they happen because sickness shows up suddenly, at night, or when no vet is available

One day your rabbits look fine, the next morning one is weak, not eating, or already gone. This is why having a basic first-aid/medication box is not optional for any serious rabbit farmer.

Not having preventive medication or a simple routine can turn a small issue into a total loss within days.

⚠️ Warning:
I will not mention any brand or product name because of country differences, laws, and rabbit conditions. If you need guidance on what to buy, dosage, routine, and application, you can consult me via DM or speak to a vet doctor near you.

👉 Consultation is NOT free.

1. Multivitamins
Multivitamins help maintain balance in your rabbit’s body, especially during stress, weather changes, pregnancy, weaning, transport, or recovery from illness.

They support:
Strong immunity
Better growth and appetite
Faster recovery from stress
These usually come in liquid or powder form and are given orally, mostly through drinking water or direct administration.

⚠️ Overuse or wrong dosage can cause harm.

👉 Consult for correct dosage, routine, and application.

2. Anti-Coccidiosis Medication
Coccidiosis is one of the most common and silent killers of rabbits. Many farmers don’t see signs until damage is already done.

Why this is important:
The disease often shows no early signs

It spreads fast, especially in dirty or crowded hutches
One outbreak can wipe out many rabbits

Having anti-coccidiosis medication in your box allows you to:
Prevent outbreaks
Apply treatment at safe intervals
Protect young and weak rabbits
These medications come in oral and injectable forms.

👉 Consult for dosage, timing, and proper use.

3. Antibiotics & Antiviral Medications
These are important for treating and controlling visible and bacterial-related problems such as:
Mites
Sore hocks
Skin infections
Wounds and swelling
Other common infections

Many of these medications are also available as injections.
I personally recommend injections because:

Sick rabbits often stop eating or drinking
Injections work faster
They are easier to preserve in emergencies

⚠️ Wrong use can kill a rabbit or cause resistance.

👉 Consult for dosage, routine, and correct application.

Final Words
Medication alone will not save your rabbits. Clean housing, good feeding, observation, and prevention routines work together with medication.

Do not wait until sickness shows up before preparing.
A prepared farmer loses fewer rabbits.

When a rabbit goes quiet, what’s really going on? 🤔🐇

People often think a silent rabbit is “just resting,” but research and behavioral studies tell a deeper story.

Rabbits don’t communicate like dogs or cats. Their silence is a language, one that can mean comfort… or danger.

A quiet rabbit might be:
• Calm and content, simply observing the world.
• Feeling unsafe, choosing silence as protection.
• In pain or stressed, since rabbits naturally hide weakness to survive.
• Listening intently, using their powerful hearing to detect threats.
• Trying to communicate, because rabbits often “speak” through body posture, not sound.

Scientists studying rabbit behavior have found that long, unusual silence, especially combined with hiding, lack of appetite, or unusual posture, is one of the earliest signs of discomfort or illness.

Silence in rabbits isn’t empty.
It’s a message.
The real question is: Are we paying attention?

🚫🚿 Why Bathing a Rabbit Is Dangerous And What You Should Do Instead

Many new rabbit owners think giving their bunny a bath is “cleaning” or “pampering.”
But the truth is bathing a rabbit can be extremely dangerous — sometimes even fatal — and here’s why:

🐇 1. Rabbits panic easily
Rabbits are prey animals. A sudden bath can cause intense fear, leading to shock or even heart failure.

🐇 2. Their fur is not designed for deep water
Rabbit fur takes a very long time to dry. When wet, they get extremely cold fast, putting them at risk of hypothermia.

🐇 3. Wet fur can cause skin infections
Moisture trapped close to the skin creates the perfect environment for fungal infections and parasites.

🐇 4. They can injure themselves trying to escape
A frightened rabbit can twist, kick, or jump dangerously, causing serious spine or leg injuries.

🐇 5. Stress weakens their immune system
Even a single stressful bath can affect their appetite and digestion — which is dangerous for such delicate animals.

✔️ So what should you do instead?

✨ Dry grooming. Use a brush to remove loose fur.

✨ Spot cleaning. If they get dirty, wipe gently with a damp cloth.

✨ Trim long fur around the bottom. Especially for fluffy breeds.

✨ Keep their living area clean so they stay clean naturally.

❗ Rabbits are naturally clean animals. They don’t need baths — they need proper grooming and a stress-free environment.

Share this to help another rabbit owner avoid a costly mistake. ❤️🐇
