I used to breed rabbits and hamsters, it was common for the first 2-3 litters to be completely eatten by the mother due to stress levels and not knowing how to cope with being a mother. I once had a hamster have 26 babys at once... YES 26! she became overly stressed, and started eating them little by little, picking which ones she didn't want to keep. She kept 3 and raised them. Thats what I call natural selection.
Is there an animal that disgusts you?
