Babies have color??

[babbitlover]

Is it normal for the new born babies to have color, they were just born yesterday

 

[babybunnywrigley]

Yes, I think they can have colors.

 

[babbitlover]

------------------------------------------- long or so, and they are sooo soft, they have alittle fur i think

it's hard to see....do you have a better pic??

 

[babbitlover]

its just pink and black, well get pics in acouple days, 2 are gray, 1 is brown, and 1 is pink and black, theycolors all have alittle pink in them. how long can you keep the babiesout for? can you actually take them out, and hold them for about 5-10minutes, or is that not a good idea to do?

Yeah, I was brown when I was born...Sorry couldn't resist.

 

[babbitlover]

LOL! that was hilarious, lol, but i really need to know how long can they come out for

They get cold fast without littermates and fur.When you see them squiggling around, they are cold and trying to find awarm spot.

theyre are 4 of them, so they stay pretty warm,the nest is closed on all sides, but open at the top, cause she nursesthere, and she keeps digging the hole. We held them for about 2minutes. what do we look for in a healthy baby, and how often should ucheck em'

[babbitlover]

[rabbitgirl]

It's not uncommon to have different sized babies,although it can be a sign of the lethal double dwarf gene. I'mforgetting the breeds of the parents--what were they again?

[SLRabbits]

Yes, they are probably getting fur by now. It's amazing just how fast they grow.

I know my GSD has a darker tan skin (he's a rust sable color) and myguinea pigs had skin colors similar to their fur coloring - black skinwith black fur, reddish skin with reddish fur, etc. Mybrother's cat lost her fur due to allergies and her skin was dark werethe fur was dark so maybe you will have different coloredbunnies.

All dwarf rabbits either carry one normal, one dwarf gene, or twonormal genes. Sometimes both parents will pass a dwarf gene to a baby,and you get what is called a "peanut". Peanuts are much smaller thanyour normal babies, and they normally survive no longer than a weekbecause they cannot digest milk.
