Thanks for coming on the ride with me! I don't know how crazy I'd be without you guys helping me out with advice!!!

I've stopped weighing the kits every day and moved to every other day now that they're all so active. Today, they are 6.1, 6.0, 7.2, and 7.0 ounces, so they're eating and growing well, and love cuddling in a pile in my lap. Well, except for Arod, who, like his father, doesn't sit still unless...

Thirteen days old, and everybunny's eyes are open as of today! This morning, everybunny's weights were 5.7, 5.2, 6 5, and 5.4. Now that eyes are open, they're all wanting to explore ALL THE THINGS, which is why there is only one group picture today. Individual photos were out of the question. It...

Ok, today was difficult. When I weighed the kits this morning, they hadn't been fed. I waited two hours, re-weighed them, and they still hadn't been fed. At that point, I decided to put the kits to Bragi myself with the help of my oldest. One to hold mama (me), and the kiddo to swap kits in and...

That's so odd. I wonder why we have different date stamps. Are we both in the US?

Hmm...the date stamp on my post says the 20th. It's 7:49 here now, and nobunny has opened their eyes yet. I'm thinking that since I didn't find them until the morning of the 20th that maybe they were actually born on the 20th rather than the 19th?

The upper floor of the hutch, where the nest box was. She removed the box, but put the kits where the box had been. It was just a cardboard box.

Daily baby bunny progress: 4.2, 5.5, 4.5, 5.1. Eyes still haven't opened, so it's possible that they were born on 11/20 rather than 11/19 and their eyes and ears should open tomorrow. Mama Bragi has completely dispensed with the nest box altogether. She sent the message loud and clear, by...

They were born on the 19th!

Today's weights are 5.2, 4.7, 4.7, and 4.0. The smaller babies are starting to catch up with the big one! Nobody's eyes are open yet, but two are consistently climbing out of the nest box after feeding. I put them back in, and they climb out again. I think those two are definitely my explorers!

Daily baby bunny! Today's weights are: 3.9 for our red baby, 5.0 for our gigantic light grey, 3.8 for our blue tort, and 3.4 for our black tort! No eyes open yet, but I managed to avoid getting peed on today, so there's that. I need nickname suggestions for them!!! The black tort, I'm thinking...

Your daily baby bunny. Today's weights: 4.8, 3.3, 3.8, 3.2. They're becoming quite the handful, ready to explore outside the nest even though their eyes aren't open yet. Lots of wiggling and running. And peeing, can't forget that. I've been soaked twice now. Fur is coming in nicely, and I can...

Since he's tiny, he gets about 1/4 cup per day.

I have a Holland lop who is 16 weeks old now. He's a healthy, happy baby, but I am concerned about one thing: he rarely, if ever, eats his cecotrophes. Is this something I should be worried about, as he is otherwise perfectly healthy? And if so, what can I do about it? I feed Kaytee 1st cut...

Awwww, they're beautiful!

Today's weights are a whopping 4.2, 3.2, 3.0, and 3.5. The biggest and the smallest are standouts, the biggest because it is absolutely  huge in comparison to its littermates, the smallest because it is  fast. I had a hard time getting a pic because it was running off the mat!!! While Bragi...

I'll look out for that. After the two died, I've been paranoid. Now I check them every couple of hours. I only weigh them in the morning, but I make sure everyone is breathing and moving every couple of hours.

Today's weights are 2.7, 2.0, 2.5, and 1.9 ounces. Their bellies are so fat I was worried about them!

I've been checking them and weighing them

Today, the weights are 1.8, 1.5, 1.5, and 1.3 ounces. Sadly, we lost two during the night.
