We've lost kits before, but they were always newborns. This is the first older kit we lost. She was 8 wks old. Honestly i had doubts as to whether she would live, so i was surprised she made it this long. She was the runt of the bunch. Her brothers and sisters towered over her. a lot of times I would go to feed them and couldn't find her, because she would be hidden behind a sibling. Which BTW is how she got her name "shy". Because was always hiding behind a sibling or her mom. She was 1/2 the size of her brothers and sisters. But here is a picture of Shy. My 9 year old is holding her. The towel is because she's afraid the rabbits will poop or pee on her LOL!
BTW besides being smaller than the other rabbits, she really looked nothing like them. Of course being our rabbits are a mixed breed (lion head and rex mix). You never really know what they'll look like. But she seemed to have more of the smoother look to her, plus more of a light brown fur. Whereas her siblings are all gray or white and have more of the lion head look. They look like a bunch of fluff balls
