No pics of the new babies yet. I don't want to disturb them since she built such a beautiful nest for them this time! All five have full tummies now, so they must have eaten last night :) These are the two that will soon need new homes This one is SO sweet that he will be staying with us :)

Yes, we know to keep dad away from the kits. He has been secluded since we came home and found the first litter. I am more worried that the first three who are caged right next to her and the new litter will stress her out. She never pushed them away before the second litter was born, but I...

Thought I would give an update :) Mama bun gave birth to 5 new kits today. All were born alive and mama made a really nice nest. Mama looks good as well. We have the three older kits in a cage right next to her. She can see them. Do you think we should move them somewhere where they will not...

Please no bashing :) We adopted two rabbits who we were told were both females. We had plans to get them both spayed at 7 months to protect their health. At two weeks before they were off to the vet to get fixed, one of them gave birth while we were gone. Guess, they were not both girls! We...
