Rabbits

[Taceas]

Rosemary had her second litter sometime overnight. Another litter of 8 big, healthy babies; 4 white, 2 black, and 2 brown (like mama herself).



Here's a picture of her and a few of her first babies.

awww they are so cute!! My friend and I used to breed rabbits!! Gotta love the cute little ears of newborns! Squish one for me!

aww, so precious! I want one!
I want to breed rabbits someday when I've got the space to do it. Lionheads are my favorite breed, I own two and a half (see mutt in avatar), but they are all fixed, so no babies.
Congrats on your little ones! Momma is gorgeous, I love those big ears!

Are rabbit babies the same size as rat babies when they are born? or a little bit bigger?

 

[Taceas]

Bigger. The picture of them in my shirt are hours old babies. I'd say mass-wise they're probably 3-4 rat pinks and a bit larger than an adult mouse.

Adorable! I love wabbits. How are they doing?

 

[Taceas]

They're doing great so far. They're growing faster than her first litter did, they've got their eyes open and are wandering around the nest box on their own locomotion.

They're also heartier than the first litter, which may just be a product of the season they were born in. Her first litter was born in mid-July while it was hotter than heck out. I hadn't anticipated the litter as her hutchmate for a few days till I got another hutch repaired was female, or so I thought.

It's been sub-zero the past few days here and I didn't want to clean the nest box portion of the hutch out for fear of chilling the babies. But since the mother insists on pottying IN the nestbox side, the babies' fur got a bit soiled. I cleaned it out today since it was in the 50's, so hopefully tomorrow she'll have had time to clean them off well enough for a picture.

As promised, here are a few pictures I took yesterday of the little furballs.
