Thanks @ samshot and others
How old are your rabbits (kits) inrespective of their age, you can foster them like this
1. Take away the intended mother (foster mother) away from the cage and put the new foster kits in their
2. Spray perfume to the body of the kits and the cell
3 spray the perfume to the mother body also
4.Monitor the belly and well being of the kits after fosteringm
Thanks, this method is the best from my past experience.
Does the foster mother need to be a mother thats already breast feeding her own baby rabbits?

Aaah! You should have done force feeding(placing doe over her kittens), ur doe probably didnt feed her kittens. Well, i think you have done right thing by tying her waist to ensure mating. The fur pulling is as a result of false pregnancy, doe's do that sometimes, i had an experince too. I suggest you should try crossing it with another buck at another rabbitry/farm.
Let's hear other ogas contributions/suggestions too.

Hello house, If you've simply eaten rabbit meat before let us know by saying something about the meat but to me and based on other evidences I know that rabbit meat is one of the most delicious meat and special delicacies ever know to man. So I wonder why some people are denying themselve of eating this special meat as they are good for making pets and likewise they are much more better in making better soup and I have loss the precise number of raBbit that I had slaughtered for meat. Please dont discourage people from eating this medicinal and desease free white meat thanks.

. That is because they are the fast growing and meat breed. They are also noted for their good mothering ability.
