Runt of the rabbit litter

The "runt" of a rabbit litter refers to the smallest or weakest rabbit among the group of newborns. Runt rabbits may be less developed and face challenges in competing for food and warmth with their siblings. Caregivers often need to monitor runts closely, as they may require additional support or feeding to ensure they thrive alongside their healthier siblings. Despite their initial disadvantages, some runts can grow strong with proper care and attention.
