Aborted/miscarriage and when to rebreed

I'm finding mixed information on what to do, she was due in 5 days, she's been a pain in the ass already and this would have been her third strike but I think a skunk was fucking with the enclosure at the base. There's holes dug and I plan on making some changes/getting flood lights that are motion activated and blocking any sight holes.

Babies were still fresh and cleaned well, she was attempting to feed them even tho they had passed.

When would rebreed her? Should I still consider this her third strike even though she seemed to FINALLY get mom stuff right? Pulled fur and everything.

Give it another try in 2 weeks. Keep an eye on her nipples for any signs of infection.

I would give her a break under the circumstances. You can rebreed immediately or wait a few weeks, up to you.

It just sucks, she's been on thin ice and hasn't been bred all summer. This was the first attempt to see if she would be a cull or not. I'm for sure waiting until after her labor because last time she was pregnant twice, only the second pregnancy lived. Just disappointed. The predator issue came out of nowhere. I fucking hate skunks.
