Fergi's mom -- they do sleep a lot rightnow. There are periods of time that they are awake andexploring the cage. I touch them everyday, to try to get themused to it. So far Jenna has been a very goodmomma. I check the nestbox every couple of days and cleanwhen necessary. They have kicked out all of momma's fur...Ifinally had to put the heater on. But as I go along andlearn, I will impart what I find. So far, I haven't had anyproblems, except for telling them apart! I have put numbersin their ears with a sharpie pen. I am keeping track of theirweights, practicing for the 4H, and I need to see if Jenna is going tobe added to our breeding program. If her babies turn outwell, Justin will be showing one or two...however many hecan. I'm hoping for a buck and doe out of Jenna toshow. She comes from good stock, but she has somedisqualification that make her not able to show, I'm hoping that ourbuck is good enough to bypass these. White toenailsdisqualify, and she has a few, plus he shoulders are prettysmall. Beowulf has excellent shoulders and nothing sticksout...his fur and condition are great. Okay, I will stopyapping now.:?
I put the nestbox on it's side so they could get in and out, and puthay on the bottom of the cage, but they prefer to stay out of thenestbox. Weird bunnies! It is so cute to watch themexplore, they kind of crawl hop, with their necks stretched forwardsniffing everything! They are already nibbling at thehay. I just wish I could sex them, but everyone looks exactlythe same. I can't tell a darn thing !
Here they are...again! You can see baby in the back cleaninghim/herself. They clean themselves already...it's socute! You can also see a baby coco puff stuck on the frontbaby's back...baby coco puffs are tiny! And yes I cleaned itoff the baby!
