Can't believe the change and growth in just a couple of days. I was mistaken about color, 1 is same color as mom and the other same color as dad

photo I took just now. Father is a frosted pearl (white and lilac) lionhead and it looks like they have got his color. Mother is the one in my profile pic, she has some lilac too.

Today when I went to feed her I had to reach right in to get her bowl which she had moved next to the entrance to the box. She didn't like it and gave me a little nip. It wasn't a bite, it didn't even leave a scratch but she was definitely telling me to back off. She has always been so sweet...

Definitely just 2 and looking well fed. If there were any DOA the mum has done a good job cleaning up because it's a clean nest with these 2 very nicely tucked up in a neat round ball of her fur and hay. Had another good dig around in the rest of the box and nothing in the hay there. All very...

Had another look at the kits and there are 2 as far as I can see but I was really reluctant to root around too much, both looked good. They seemed big compared to her size, I was really surprised. I didn't take a photo because I didn't want the flash bothering them. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel...

Babies born this morning :) Checked the nest earlier and saw she had finally pulled fur for the nest and it was moving. I want to wait until the kids are out of the way before I root around and check them properly and count them etc. As she's a first time mum I didn't want to spook her too much...

That makes sense. I added more hay and she immediately took half of it to continue making her nest. No fur in there yet and today is day 30, I hope everything is OK and she gives birth soon. Since yesterday morning when I first posted she has got much calmer and spent most of the time laying on...

Thanks so much for your replies. Since writing my post earlier she has chilled out a lot and spent most of the time resting and laying on her side. I have sat next to her while working on my laptop and she is happy enough so I think I'll leave her where she is. I think tomorrow is day 30 so she...

We bought a female lionhead to start breeding with our male lionhead that we have had for a year. We bought her back in October and because she was so friendly and the kids loved her so much she just ended up being in the house all the time. she has an indoor cage (3' long x 2' foot wide)but we...

Thanks. That's the thread I read already that mentions pumpkin seeds as a calcium inhibitor. I was hoping to hear from someone who feeds pumpkin seeds to their rabbits all the time including when they are pregnant to put my mind at rest. I have been having trouble getting good quality pellets...

I was a bit worried our pregnant doe might not be getting enough protein so gave her a few pumpkin seeds today. However I just read some info on pumpkin seeds inhibiting calcium intake so now I'm worried that they are not good to give her. Does anyone have experience of this and put my mind at...
