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.

Not quite a nest
We think Vanna is pregnant, but it is hard to tell. Today would be her kindling day. We have been so anxious for even a sign of delivery. Just in case she wanted extra nesting material, I shredded a shopper paper, placed it in a bowl, and gave it to her. About 10 minutes later I found her just like this.

New cage!
Vanna had a temporary home in one of those cheap $24 cages. There was not enough room for her nest box and also moving space. This morning she moved into her new Wabbitat, which she likes very much. Kiwi has one too, and we have been very pleased with these cages.

Plain priorities
Kiwi stands on her bowl full of pellets to get a bite of romaine. Behind her you can see the gestation calendar. If all goes well, we will have two litters within the month. They will be so special!

Video bonus
When Ickus crawled into a box and we turned it over, he started ducking in and out, while stealing a chew at the same time.
