it is perfectly normal for them to only have one... leave her alone and she may have some more... don't touch her or stress her out in any way because if you do, she might panick and eat her litter... watch her and the baby make sure she feeds it (you can tell if she's not because the baby will cry and appear sunken) and make sure she covers it up by the time you go to bed tonight... if it gets cold it will die... don't be alarmed if you never see the mamma rabbit in the box with her baby... they only feed their babies twice a day and as long as the baby's stomach appears round and full then they are okay... good luck with your new baby!

Sometimes a rabbits first litter will only have one baby, though i've had mums give birth to only one baby even though its their 4th or 5th litter. Dont panic check baby is warm as it will not have other kit's helping it to keep warm (hopefully mum has pulled lots of fur) check each morning and evening to make sure that mum is feeding and that the baby is not getting out the nest. Good luck

Depends on how many milking nipples there are. It's not abmormal for only one baby. Massage her tummy to see if you feel any lumps. If she isn't moving around much later on, then I'd call a vet.

You should call a Vet as a matter of fact you should have called it at 3:40pm.

It could be possible. She should have had all of them by now.
