Well so the story of them is on another thread, and the formula needs are on another.

These guys aren't newborns, they look nearly two weeks old

They are so cute!

They look right on 10-12 days to me.

It's the way I have the pictures taken.

They are Velveteen Lops

But they are the size my Dwarf bunnies were when they were born. O_O and these guys are around 2 weeks old from what I can tell.

They have had their eyes open for a while I can tell now that they have had the dirt and puss cleaned from their eyes.

I need to Euthanize one because he is seeming to be having seizures now that I had them back in with mom. He was fine before that and during their breakfast feeding...

Yesterday I fed them all 2-3cc's of goats milk and .5cc of water after 4 times a day, and they had greatly improved. they were bouncing around the nest box and trying to climb the bars. when I went to feed them and they all wanted to be first.

Willow thumped on the two biggest's head and they died.

Now I have two kits, and hoping they survive. I knew I shouldn't have put them in with her.

I had to euthanize that one. and from injuries while in with mom the black one died. Now I am left with jut one baby.

Ollie I have decided to call her.
Is doing fabulous!!

She eats 5ccs of goats milk every 3hours, and drinks 1cc every 3hours too. Trying to get her start on the pellets, since yesterday she stopped nibbling on them. >_<
Will post new pictures soon.

 

[Rattiemattiesrattery]

Today baby Ollie is eating oats >_< and ate like 3 pellets lol.
She still wants all the milk she can get though, Gives kisses and comes to her names. How cute is that?
Also it's getting harder to feel her spine. Which when we found her you could SEE it very well. >_<

PICTURES!!
These are of Ollie in her new digs. (yes I have added a very lil dish of water)
These were taken last night.

Snug as a bug she is.

However at the moment she wants nothing to do with the hay in there >_<
I'm working on that though.

Awww, she looks so small!

 

[Rattiemattiesrattery]

She is small.

I found her and her litter mates on Sunday. And she and her litter mates were the size of newborn dwarf bunnies.
(they were at least 14 days old, and had their eyes open)
She has actually DOUBLED in size since I have been feeding her.

She is still tiny. My dwarf buns at this age (well from what I can speculate with the age of Ollie) were 3-4 times this size.

She doesn't even fill the palm of my hand.

The tote she is in (with wired lid) is a 64qt. To give you a size comparison. the bed she has in there, is a base from a small hamster cage. And the dish she sits in is a mouse dish.

OMG I hope she does well!!!

SO tiny and SO cute! Good luck with her! I, too, hope she does well!
