We rescued our female... My boyfriend found her in a cage in the parking lot at work... No food and a little water. So we brought her home and gave her a warm place to sleep at night... And the male we got from a pet store... And were outplacing all of our kits with families, not just dumpin them into a pet store where they might sit for ages or they might turn into food.

Good on you hun, rescuing is the way to go

we have a billion baby rabbits on our hands at the moment (by a billion i mean four) because we rescued a doe from "death row" that was already pregnant :(

so if you need any help/moral support/advice from someone who's been in a very similar position to yourself dont hesitate to ask.

:biggrin:
 
So sorry about your little guy. It looks like he got the fatal dwarf gene. You said that the dad is a dwarf and the mom is the size of a loaf when she is laying down, I think that you have two dwarf breeds and the little guy got the fatal dwarf gene (double dwarf gene).

I am so sorry for your loss of the little guy, he is really cute.
 
And here begins the cuteness overload... Their eyes opened today!

Please stop worrying about the fact that she might be pregnant again... we have plenty of people to adopt babies...

Regardless, it's not very responsible to keep them together, no matter how many homes you think you might have lined up. It's also hard on the mother to keep bearing litter after litter, one right after the next. ;)

From the pictures in your other post, I'm assuming they're still together, so do be prepared for another litter within the next couple weeks.
Please separate them, and get adequate housing to separate the babies when they're old enough to be weaned. ;)

we just went out to check on the babies, and to our surprise they were no longer in their nest! they were running around their hutch, playing with mama and each other. we were also surprised to see that daddy is just as involved as mama! one of the baby buns got cold and nuzzled up under daddy's belly in between his legs, and daddy washed baby and let baby lay there and get warm. we're so excited to see this!
 
Would you consider taking the male out now, since she will be due to give birth again soon? Then will be pregnant all over again? Having litter, after litter, after litter is extremely hard on the body and can lead to a shortened life and/or bad general condition and health. Plus current litters have to seperated from the parents younger then desired.

I know you have more then enough homes lined up but often times people say they will take one, but when the time comes they decide not to. Have you got spare cages ready for keeping the Dad and babies you haven't managed to rehome in?

Also, when the next litter of babies come she may start attacking the babies she has now and also the Father. I'm suprised she hasn't started attacking him already. They can get very nasty.

The babies are very cute, congrats! :)
 
Daddy bunny should not be in with Mama and babies. Mama is probably already pregnant again, and in a few weeks, if Daddy is still in there, babies can end up pregnant as well, which is definitely worse than mama getting pregnant right after delivery.

I'm also surprised that they haven't been fighting, but perhaps they are and you're just not noticing it?

Please, remove the buck from the cage, and separate your rabbits!

We have a separate cage that we can put dad in and had planned to for a couple weeks. I definitely appreciate the heads up on them fighting. We havent seen any evidence of it yet and last night max and Sammy were washing the babies and max was playing with them.

It's not a matter of can you, it's a matter of you need too. ;)
I'd separate them RIGHT away. ;)

We are roughly 4-4 1/2 weeks old (our hooman can't keep up with how long its been... so pardon any inconsistencies)...

We eat big bunny food now... and we LOVE oatmeal
