Jeeze, I am still waiting on my last doe to pop. I know she took, cause I can feel at least 2 in there.

My first had a litter of 8 and I'd really like to foster a few off, the bigger buns seem to be getting all the milk. Greedy little devils ;-)
 
The Silver Fox litters are doing real well this morning. As of last night, they weighed about 3 oz. each (at 48 hours old). There are 5 in each litter, and they are pretty even in weight.

Here are some Photo's of them at 2 days...

There is one with a tiny white blaze on it's head. (I have heard that that may shed out as the rabbit grows. If it doesn't, it will not be showable.)

So cute!!!

Yes the blazes sometimes molt out so don't give up on them until their first molt has come and gone. One of my lines actually carries that trait so almost all the kits were born with blazes... I know mom's molted out so I'm not too disheartened about it, but I would have been pretty shocked if I hadn't seen her as a junior.

My other doe finally kindled this morning. Another 6 babies, bringing my total to 14. :)

Congratulations! 6 is a good sized litter. Yeah, I heard about the blaze getting shed out. This one has a tiny lil strip... We'll see.
 
Aww!! What cutie-pies!!! :D
 
They are 7 weeks old today, all about 3 lbs each. Mostly black with the softest baby fur! But their silvering is just starting to show on their bellies and feet... (They are marked in their ears with Marking Pen for now.)
