My sibling rabbits bred. Will their babies have birth defects?

You can keep your male and female rabbits completely separate, this will prevent them from breeding with each other but your male rabbit can still show aggression due to hormonal influences. The only safe way to keep your rabbit from breeding is to have him neutered or her spayed. You will need to make an appointment with the vet to have that done. I'd call your vet to discuss it. Good luck!

So male rabbits cannot be spayed, they can be castrated. Are you 100% that they are all done, and that you dont have a female who is actually a male? One of these must be the case. You could ask the vet to spay her whilst pregnant, it is more risky though. You could just wait until the rabbits are born and have them euthanized.

Thanks for reaching out about Willow. The only explanation that can be presented is one uterine horn presented babies prematurely, while the other horn has one fetus that went full term. It is not possible to have babies from different sires and different ages. Good luck.

Well it certainly sounds like Jazmyne is pregnant after mating with her brother. You are correct that inbreeding can lead to the expression of recessive genes and potential defects, but you won't know for sure until the puppies are born. You do have some options in this case. First off, I'd recommend taking her into the vet to confirm that she is pregnant. If she is, your options are to spay her now and terminate the pregnancy, or have her give birth to the puppies and spay her afterwards. I do recommend spaying her so that she doesn't get pregnant again accidentally. When you take her into the vet, they can discuss these options with you. Ultimately it's your choice whether or not to continue the pregnancy. I hope this helps.

Thanks for reaching out about your love birds. There is an increased risk of hereditary complications with siblings, as recessive genes can come from both parents, allowing clinical signs to appear. Replacing with dummy eggs might help but will probably continue to lay eggs. Even if separated, the female might be stimulated to lay eggs, although infertile. Health risks of multiple clutches and dietary deficiencies must be addressed. If concerned, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

While it is possible that Binky is pregnant, it is unlikely if she was not receptive to the male. However, she may be receptive soon, so I do recommend separating them to avoid unwanted pregnancy. You can neuter (castrate) the male at any time as well as the female. I hope this helps!

It sounds like she is not cut out to be a mom. These non-vialbe pups may be due to a chronic viral infection or an inherent problem with her uterus. Regardless, I suggest you either keep her from getting pregnant again by not housing her with any males or have her spayed. That is the only way to keep this from happening again.
