this is essentially an abortion but very early in the process of pregnancy so she resorbs the unborn kits- nothing is expelled externally- her body absorbs the nutrients back into her system. there may be many reasons for this such as stress and infection or even a problem with the formation of her embryos.

What will a mother rabbit do with the runt of the litter?
It depends on how many there are in the litter. Like if there are three she will probably keep it, but if there are six she might abandon it. Remember every mother is different. My Rabbit killed hers, she had 3 in her litter, and she dragged him out side of the nest! Still if your mother rabbit is feeding the rabbit, then it is not a runt!

What does it mean when your rabbit stops using the litter tray?
the litter pan is probably to dirty for him to get into it, but if it isn't what i do when my rabbits stop getting into their litter pan and it's not dirty is i move it to a different part of the cage and they start getting into it again. so maybe put it in a different spot and clean it. if your rabbit doesn't use it after this he could be sick.

How do you litter train your rabbit?
Rabbits usually use the same corner to go to the bathroom. You should first observe which corner this is. Then put a litter material (newspaper, small animal litter, non-clumping kitty litter, or something similar) in the litterbox. Using fancy litters with chlorophyll crystals etc. may encourage the rabbit to eat the litter, so you should avoid those types of litter. Each time the rabbit goes in the box, you should give it a small treat (a very small piece of fruit or vegetable). This will teach the rabbit that going to the bathroom in the litter box is a good thing. You should also be sure to keep the litterbox emptied, or the rabbit will not want to go in it anymore. Eventually, the rabbit will learn that the litterbox is its friend. Some rabbits will learn it quickly; others never will. The key is to stay diligent in cleaning the litterbox and rewarding the rabbit.

The rabbit may have a runt in the second batch, but just as well may not. It depends on many factors including the buck, and how many kits are in the litter. One cannot say that she would or would not have a runt for sure.
