Marilyn Bunroe and her babies - A little family rescued from death row

[Dragonrain]

What a sweet little family they are! Those babies are adorable, and what a pretty little mama Marilyn is!

I first saw a posting about Marilyn on myspace and my heart really went out to her. If I wasn't all the way across the country, I would have volenteered to foster her myself. I had heard that someone took her out of the shelter where she was going to be put down, but imagion how happy I was when I saw that it was someone on RO, and now I get to login and see pictures of them all and know that they're all safe! :biggrin2:

I'm just seeing this post now. I'm very glad you were able to rescue Marilyn and her children.

So sorry for the loss of Lucky. that brought tears to my eyes. he/she was so adorable, even though s/he passed away too young. s/he looked a lot like my buck, magic. Actually almost exactly alike. :sad::rip:

you're doing a great job with them, osprey and I wish you good luck in finding them all homes when the time I comes. If I lived closer I'da adopted little Lucky if you were to adopt him/her out. :goodluck

I don't know if anyone has said this but just so you know the Black has no chance of survival. It was a peanut. I could tell by the way he was smaller and lacking. Peanuts either die right away or live for a few weeks but the most they can live is a year and they have horrible health. They arn't geneticly right enough to live long. Now saying that I believe they are purebred Hotot Dwarfs. I have read about them and seen many breeders' sites and it isn't very easy to get a perfect marked Hotot. Most are born "mismarked"where they have spots where they shouldn't or like the black baby is mostly black/half black with white but not in a broken patturn.

The babies are very cute though :biggrin2:

No new pics tonight, hopefully I'll get some tomorrow. I just wanted to note that the babies turned three weeks old today. They are nibbling mommas food, doing little baby binkies, and scooting all over the place when they get the chance. They chase momma for milk, so she spends more and more time on her shelf away from them, while they get the run of the place down below. Sometimes when she comes down to use the litterbox or grab some hay, she has to push them away!

Actually, from what we saw, we couldn't tell if it was a peanut. Size is not the only indication of having a double dwarf gene. We could ask if the hips were narrow and the head had a cone shape, and bulgingeyesand that could help determine if it was.

Although it is a possibility, we cannot post that itwas so without all of the correct information. We also cannot post that because ofthe small size of akitit is a peanut.

Some runts (small babies)are just that - runts.

Regardless, it's very sad that the baby didn't survive.

The babies are now a month old! Time for some new pics. I tried to sex them, I am pretty sure Shasta is a girl and Lassen and Denali are boys. I'll get a second opinion ths weekend.

Lassen isn't too sure about that YELLOW bunny! :shock:LOL!

They are just precious. Each time I see them I want to just hug you~!

 

[LuvaBun]

I love the pics you take of this family - they really seem to show how individual they are. Their eye markings are subtly different from each other. What are their personalities like?
