The uncle's rabbit gave birth to a cub, but left the baby to run around, and the little rabbit was adopted by the hen?

Maternal love is the nature of animals, and even sometimes, even if the cubs in front of them are not their own children, they will raise them very vigorously.

An uncle had a headache recently because his rabbit gave birth to a litter of cubs, but the mother rabbit did not take care of them. Instead, there was a hen instead.

With the camera we can see that there is a litter of two-week-old rabbit cubs in the haystack of the chicken coop. Seeing a stranger approaching, a hen who was eating beside her slowly paced over, and then sat down on top of the little rabbits.

The little rabbit felt very safe under the protection of the hen and slept very sweetly. The uncle gently moved the hen away and showed everyone the little rabbits. The hen hurriedly sat back, for fear that the little rabbits would freeze.

The uncle expressed his doubts: he has never seen a mother rabbit feed a baby rabbit, and it is impossible for a hen to breastfeed a baby rabbit. It is reasonable for a baby rabbit to survive, but they do develop very well... Why is this? ?

While everyone was talking, they suddenly saw the female rabbit come in through the gap in the chicken coop. With quick eyes and quick hands, the uncle caught the mother rabbit who was trying to escape, and wanted her to breastfeed the bunny.

As a result, as soon as the uncle put the mother rabbit next to the little rabbit, it stomped on a carp and got up and ran out of the chicken coop. For some reason, the mother rabbit seemed to resist staying with the bunny.

The female rabbit is reluctant to breastfeed during the day, maybe at night? Everyone thought so, so they installed cameras in the chicken coop, intending to see if the mother rabbit would visit her children at night.

That night, the mother rabbit really appeared. It quietly came to the chicken coop and got into the box where the bunny and the hen were - and sure enough, the bunny was still breastfeeding the bunny.

It is also interesting to say that when the hen saw the female rabbit coming, she actually gave way to the side, and after the female rabbit finished feeding and left, she squatted back on the bunny's head again. This nanny is really competent.

In this way, the uncle is no longer worried that the little rabbit will starve to death, instead he is curious about the mother rabbit and the hen, why they can't communicate with each other, but they will raise the little rabbit together?

After the expert was invited to watch, he also expressed his novelty: "This is the first time I have seen such a thing." He also took a photo of the hen hatching the rabbit to keep it.

Experts explain that in order to avoid predators, mother rabbits tend not to tend to the bunnies too often. Breastfeeding for 5 to 10 minutes a day is enough to provide the nutrients your bunny needs to grow.

As for the hen, she thought she gave birth to bunnies, so she kept them imaginatively. There's no harm anyway, experts say, and it's better to leave the hens as they are rather than space them out or drive them away.

Thanks to the perfect co-breeding of mother rabbits and hens, the bunnies are thriving. The uncle said that after the bunnies are weaned, he will build a fence by himself, so that the hens can live happily.

By chance, the rabbit's nest is also a chicken nest, making the lucky little rabbits have a second mother. Hope these gentle and lovely animals will live happily in the future!
