Wow, thanks for sharing about all the little mishaps and the care you did. I am so ignorant about what I might need to do with my upcoming litter. You have gotten me so excited about them. I guess the bad thing with sandies is you can't really tell if they have been bruised. Is the bruising common?

I've seen minor bruising before, just not to this extent... not the whole litter! But I'm pleased (and relieved!) they are healing so well. They are all fat and sassy now. The one baby's foot still isn't perfect, but it seemsmuch better. He may have a small bump of scar tissue on his foot, but I doubt it will be visible when he gows up.
I've moved Hopi and the litter to a muchlarger cage space. I had her in a smaller cage with the nestbox because I wanted to make sure that when she kindled, she put the babies in the nestbox and not on the wire. As a first time mother, I was concerned about her. So I didn't give her a lot of space or any other choice but to put them in the box... it worked... just wish she had pulled fur earlier!
So now she has plenty of space! And where does she sit? On the 12" square top of the nestbox!!!! She has a shelf... she has plenty of space to stretch out... and she crams herself onto the top of the nestbox! Go figure!

I was just looking...is I-Hop considered a blue?

Hopi is a white... (Her great grandfather was Arizona, my very first white. He was a "heart" bunny... the white I'm holding in my avatar. All his descendants have "southwestern" names... Hopi is named after an Indian tribe. )
Funny you should spell it like that... My daughter had a blue Mini Rex named I-Hop.

On average, I have around 20 Flemish... (divided between 3 colors) but that number has beenlower andhigher, based on babies, rescues, adoptions,etc.
Right now is prime breeding time for the big rabbits. The temperatures are perfect for them, since they don't handle the heat of summer well. My girls seem to prefer temps of 45-60 Fdegrees. And lower doesn't bother them! It's a lot less stressful on them than during the summer. Andthe girls I kept that were born late last winter are being bred for the first time. So it seems like I have a lot right now, but I am very lucky to have homes for the ones I decide to part with. :biggrin2:

Per your request:
They are a week old now. I can't see any bruising at all, and their ears have healed well. The one with the sore on the foot is all healed too. Their eyes are not open yet, but they are very active. They bounce all over the nest box like "Mexican Jumping Beans". Two of them were in a differnet part of the nest this morning. Based on their bellies, I'd say they missed breakfast this morning. But after I put them back in the nestbox, Hopi jumped right in and they got a quick meal.
