Twix and Her Babies!!

[Kimberly09]

At the beginning of December an adorable rabbit was brought into my local humane society as a stray. She was named Twix (due to her coloring). Twix was very smelly, covered in urine and had sore hocks. A couple weeks later Twix stunned the staff with a surprise litter born a few days before her scheduled spay. So as it turned out, Twix was already pregnant when she came into the shelter.

The five beautiful babies were born sometime between Dec. 19 and 21st. I'm getting conflicting stories about when they made their grand entrance into the world. Since a shelter is no place to raise babies, I offered my home to foster Twix and her babies until they are weaned. Then back to the shelter they go to find their permanent homes!

I figured it would be a good idea to start a blog and keep it updated with how they are all doing. And don't worry, I'll keep it picture heavy!! lol

So adorable! I'd love to experience baby rabbits just once, hehe... when I talked to the foster coordinator at the Houston SPCA the other day, I let her know I'd be comfortable caring for a doe who has (or is about to have) kits - seems like the good way to go to get some "hands on" experience without actually being a breeder . (No way would I want to be a rabbit breeder - I already have a breeding program for sugar gliders and I think two permanent rabbits (Nala and Gaz) is my limit. They're all the long-eared naughtiness I can commit to!)

I can't wait to see all the pics of the babies as they grow up!

Canon 450D, i'm not very good at taking pictures, the auto mode works for me lol but my husband is the one who does all the cool settings

This is me exactly! I would never breed rabbits, but i'm happy to foster them if they come in to the shelter!

Alright, so I've had a stressful past day. I was worried that they babies weren't being fed, so I went out and got a scale. But I guess i was just being paranoid because they have all gained weight! The first weight is from 12/29 at 5:00pm (when I bought the scale) and the second is 12/30 at 8:00am

A: 4.05 oz 4.40 oz
B: 3.45 oz 3.80 oz
C: 4.50 oz 4.75 oz
D: 3.95 oz 4.40 oz
E: 3.30 oz 3.60 oz

I still haven't come up with any names.. So for now they are letters lol. For some more exciting news I think their eyes should be opening soon! It looks like they are starting to part in the corners! I'm super excited for these guys to FULLY join our world with all their senses

Oh and the baby in the pictures is Baby A

 

[Furry_Paws]

The colors are beautiful! I haven't seen many rabbits with them!!

 

[Chrisdoc]

Baby bunnies are just adorable. Beautiful mommy so gorgeous babies. Keep the pics coming

 

[Kimberly09]

The babies officially have names! No more letters for these guys! These pictures aren't the best quality, but I'd thought you'd all enjoy them all the same

Starting with the first picture: Clover, Dill, Hazel, Sage and Rue

Can you tell who the chubbers are?? haha

 

[Tauntz]

Oh, am I glad that you & those adorable bunny babies are no where near me!!!! I couldn't get near them or I would have a hard time talking myself out of bringing one home when they are old enough for a home of their own! They are just too cute! Mom is a gorgeous mom bunny too! So glad they are doing well! :inlove:

 

[Kimberly09]

Alright, So I have been neglecting this thread! The babies are all doing GREAT! I'm going to have to back post some pictures to get you guys all caught up!

Here are the babies at 2 weeks old. Eyes opened just a few days before taking these pictures. They did not like to hold still that's for sure!

 

[Kimberly09]

These pictures are from 2.5 weeks till about 3 weeks old. They were getting into everything! And constantly crawling/hopping out of their cage. Oh and driving their mom mad!

 

[Aubrisita]

Oh my, they are just adorable!

 

[lovelops]

Keep blogging on them they are soo cute!!
