These bunnies are all siblings. We had an accident and their momma had back to back litters. There are 4 in the first litter and only one in the second. Clearly the little guy is reaping the rewards of a doe with plentiful milk supply! We can't stop laughing at how chubby he is:) He is 10 days...
That's an interesting thought. With this baby, she is in there all the time. I rarely saw her attending the last litter. She dotes on this one and it shows! It is the fattest little thing ever!
THanks for the reassurance. That is exactly what she did. Last time her nest was huge before. This time it took her more time, but she has it all fluffed out now. Glad to hear that others have seen the same thing. Honestly, I fret over these little fur balls like I gave birth to them all!
I'm worried about my doe. She kindled yesterday. Three babies. Two died. THe survivor had a nice round belly this morning. I saw her in there with him an hour or so ago. Now she is pulling fur like crazy and sitting in the box. What is that all about?? Could there be more babies that she is not...
Whew. We made it over the major hurdle, as far as I was thinking. She definitely fed the surviving baby during the night. He's got a nice round belly:)
THanks to both of you. I separated the older ones from the doe yesterday. They are thriving and will hopefully stay that way. They eat constantly:) Keeping my fingers crossed that she attends her surviving baby.
She cleaned them all. I'm hoping that's a good sign that she will switch to this...
I'm embarrassed to say that my doe kindled 3 babies today. She has a litter that is not quite 5 weeks old. She began nesting yesterday and was grabbing tufts of fur to build her nest with from her babies! I separated her from them when I saw what was happening. Two of the babies have died or...
Day three. Its amazing how they change. I feel like their hair grows by the hour! I was advised that single maned lion heads get all their fur evenly and double maned have naked sides at this point. I think I have 2 double maned? Let me know what you think.
Thought I would share pics of the only litter my buns will have before they get fixed. I am completely infatuated with these rabbits and now their wee ones! Two days old and my son has picked his keeper. "I want the one with spots!"
It will be a true miracle if only one baby remains with us. I...
