Absolutely horrible. Thank you so much.Mother rabbits may eat their young though. They don't do it often, but they may do it due to a bunch of factors, like if a predator is nearby and the survival mechanism tells her to do that, or it could be from a change in the environment, or lack of resources (like food). I found it interesting that rabbits (and other small mammals) kill their young due to external stresses, especially within the presence of predators. This could be because the mother will feel obligated to stay with her young if the predator comes by and self-preservation takes over. They know they can't scare off the predator, so they will kill their young to destroy the attachment they have over staying and then leave. Plus, predators may be more brutal and the mother will kill their young in a more "humane" way.
Plus, this site explains that there have been cases of rabbits eating small carcasses, including their own kind and that of their predators. It's to boost their protein intake when nutrients are scarce, and they'll even run other small predators off to keep the carcass to themselves.
Meat-eating rabbits: these fluffy creatures are not exactly "herbivores"
So that's unexpected!www.zmescience.com
