New Baby Bunnies

Our baby bunnies have arrived! Two of our doe's delivered a day apart last week and right on time; Salt & Peppa had 5 on Tuesday, 5/15 and Abbey had 2 on Wednesday 5/16. All seven babies are doing just fine. Since Abbey has only 2 babies to care for they're much larger compared to the other 5!

Salt & Peppa was mated to Jack and Abbey was mated to Loppy.

Salt & Peppa's is a first time mom and doing a fantastic job so far. As you can see in the first picture, she pulled out a substantial amount of her hair and made a nice nest. You can even see a couple of the babies too.



This is a picture of Abbey's next box and one of her two little monsters. Abbey is a proven breeder and experienced mom. She is also very protective and won't hesitate to bite you if she gets the chance, so we need to be careful when feeding her.

They should all have their eyes opened by this coming weekend. Shortly thereafter they'll be out of their nest boxes exploring. This is an exciting time too because we'll get to see the color and markings, which are almost always unusual and unique. Emilie can't wait, as this is when she can hold and play with them.
