Basil met them today. I put up the x-pen today and put the babies in it. Then Poppy got out, as I was going to get her, Hazel got out. Too young for the x-pen . So I flipped over an old rabbit cage that used to house my chinchillas and put them in that. Basil LOVED them! It was adorable. They won't be out together for at least a couple more months (his neuter is on the 20th), but he really wants them to come out and play. It was so cute!
I was looking at pictures on flickr, of flemish litters, and at three weeks, their ears aren't any longer than Hazel's. The ears seem to triple in length between 3 and 6 weeks. Poppy still has bitty little ears, but I'm starting to suspect they might be pure bred, and actually only three weeks at the time I got them. Time will tell.
They have grown already. I didn't think to weigh them until monday. Hazel was 14 oz, Poppy was 12 oz. Today (wednesday) Hazel was 16 oz (one pound bunny!) and Poppy was 14. I tried looking up to see how much flemish weigh at certain ages, but it seems no one weighs them before 8 weeks.
