A girl and a boy

Vanna's litter is 2 months old and now we can tell whether the babies are boys or girls. This one above is a girl. Bandit is a boy.

A litter of three

Vanna just had a litter, right on time at 30 days -- to the HOUR. Once again she birthed them while I was in the shower so I missed most of the action.
One of our cats was in the rabbit room at the time and she wouldn't stop meowing. Turns out she was calling for me, "Come see!"
Vanna is such a good mommy. She has had many litters by now (this is her second litter under our ownership) and she doesn't mind me getting close. In fact we built the nest together. I gathered her scattered fur tufts and used the slicker brush to collect some fur donations from Grandpa Mochi.
It is a magical experience for anyone who can welcome some more into their bunny family. We are proud of you, Vanna.

These are our five kits. It looks like we may have two chinchillas in the bunch. They all look so much like their parents.

Hugs meets his baby

Hugs' litter of two decreased to one a few days ago. Now the survivor is 6 days old and furry all over. Hugs was eager to check out his progeny.

1 less bundle of joy

It became apparent after a few days that one of Vanna's kits was not eating. We tried a few different ways to feed him, but he was just too weak, especially when compared to his litter mate. All our efforts failed when he died this morning. We are so sad to lose him. Vanna is down to one kit, but we have hope for him and for Kiwi's four babies as well.

A litter of four!

Kiwi had some big babies today. You can already see their color: they are all agouti like their mom, with the light bellies. We are so proud of our little mommies!

A litter of two!

Vanna had two little pink kits this morning. She is doing a good job guarding them from Dad, who can't help but try to sneak a peek in the nest now and then. They are Hugs' babies, but of course he does not get to share the sense of pride that we do over our first litter.

The biggest mess in bunny history

JD has sullied his reputation as the good boy when it comes to floor time. He dumped over this bag and then hopped in and started digging at the contents. By the time Mom and Dad discovered his scheme, it was too late.
