I wouldn't hold the bunnies yet. You should wait until they have fur and open their eyes.

It's actually a good idea to handle the kits when they're that young ifthe doe knows you and is comfortable with your sent on the kits, ithelps get the kits used to human smell and you can check on them forany abnormalities and to see that they are well-fed and have over-allgood health...

I literally stood, leaning into Bramble's cage for an hour today! Shehopped in the nest box and i got to see her feed them for the firsttime! Those babies squirmed as fast as they could over to her!

When she was done and hopped out i took two of them and their stomachswere HUGE!!! I really doubt if i could even sell ONE of these kits,they're too much of my babies....

Unless i can prove to the parents that me having these bunnies is alife or death situation (which it is, DUH! lol) and that they won't eatmuch feed if we give them as much timothy hay as they wish...if thatfails...then yes, two **sniff, sniff** have to go.......i REALLY hope ican convince them otherwise...lets hope i can!

Hi, I love those pictures!! Especially of the onewhere they are laying the the grass... How old are they now? I know itis a little early but do you know if you will keep Bramble Jr.? I hopeeverything is going well. What should you do if the mom does not wantyou to touch the babies?

Generally if the momma doesn't want you to touch them you handle themonce a day for a short amount of timeuntil the mom is okaywith you handling them or until they're of weaning age...

I've already got two hutches that i'm looking into buying for the fivenew buns....hopefully i can keep them all, if not, i'll probably sellone of the lilacs and one of the REWs...idk, it all depends on who ihave that "special bond" with....i'm already favoring that Lil' Brambleheavily....very heavily actually....

The kits have moved to the front of the nest box, i've heard that thisis because they're too warm in the back of the nest box? Correct???

They're so adorable, since they're in the front now, i can just standand watch them squirm over each other for hours! it's amazing!

Oh, they are so cute!! I love Lilac... How do youknow that REW is not going to be a BEW? Just wondering... because ofparents or something? So how are they? How old are they?

 

[Bramble Briar86]

bunnylover- you can see the explanation that Sunnie gave to me

The kits are doing great the are a week and one day old, they've gotthe LARGEST tummies. They're diffenitly not weaned at that age, lmbo.They're still on mommy's milk. They've got TONS more hair and are doinggreat! It was washed out in the picture but the two lilacs have THEmost Beautiful coloring i've ever seen.

Briar's doing great, he was mad at me for a little while because imoved him back up into the cage, he was annoying Brambie so much that iput up boards so he couldn't see her. Still a big SweetHeart though.
