Growing Babies!!!




These are two of Doris's kits, as you can see, they are growing quickly!!!! Even though they are older than Ethel's kits, they are a lot smaller than Ethel's.  Of course, Doris is a smaller rabbit, and had a larger littler, where as Doris is a much bigger rabbit, who had a much smaller litter in comparison.

Two of Ethel's kits have started climbing out of the nest box on their own, even though their eyes aren't open yet. I covered the floor with hay around the nest box so that they would have a softer landing. Yesterday one of the blue ones was out of the box 3 different times. Once she was just laying in a pile of hay, the next time she was crawling around, and the last time she was hanging out with her mom. This morning it was one of the black ones, and it was cuddled up against Ethel. When I put some food in her dish, she went over to that, so I scooped the little guy up and put it back in the nest box. Once their eyes are open, I guess I'll just have to turn the nest box over on its side, and let them come and go as they please.
