Naturestee's Foster Family

They are so cute. I am in love with Zappa.

 

[naturestee]

Sorry for the lack of pictures, I've been short on time. I have a lot more to post but I'll just upload these few for now. This is Zappa with my hubby James. They were taken about a week ago, either Sunday or Monday I forget.

He really likes to sit up here.

Yes, climb into my mouth little bunny...

Sleepy baby

Soo cute! How old are they now, Angela?

:thud::thud::thud::thud:

Must.....have......Baby......Zappa....... :shock: He's SO cute!!

 

[naturestee]

They'll be 4 weeks this Thursday.

It'll be really interesting to see who ends up with loppy ears. Zappa looks like he might lop and so do several others. Anybody for a loppy dutch?:biggrin2:

 

[mouse_chalk]

A loppy Dutch? Oh, what are you doing to me?! Torturing me with cuteness, that's what!!

I'm first in line and close enough! Although I'd have a hard time convincing the bf it was a french lop girl-bunny to bond to his attitude-full nethie!

Naturestee, I think you might have to have a little lottery drawing to see what locationthe little guy is going to get shipped to. He is sweet looking with the longer hair. It will be interesting to see what they all will look like.

Totally enjoyed the new pictures. James looks very much at ease with baby Zappa cruising around on him. I hope they all get that type of special treatment with the new baby brothers and sisters in the house. Any pics of those babies yet?

I do hope I get time to see babies later this week....

Yes, I'm awful about updating this thread. I'll post pictures at home after I get a few job applications in (grr). Anyway, here's the big news for those that missed it:

http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=38181&forum_id=8

Jazzy had four more babies on Sunday.ullhair::thud:

They're doing well and are getting much more milk than the first batch. Probably because it's easier to find a nipple and it's easier to make milk for 4 than 6. Batch #1 was moved to another cage right next to Jazzy's. They're doing just fine although they get really excited when Jazzy comes out to play. She stopped nursing them a week ago already so no worries on weaning.

Yes, this means Jazzy is half naked again. She really does make the largest nests ever!

Jazzy has been much more friendly. She's still afraid of hands but will sometimes let me rub her nose a little while she's eating her carrot, and when she was nesting- probably because she was upset and needed comfort. She was pretty frantic. But now that she's totally not pregnant, she really likes me. Actually, she luuuurves me! On Sunday after giving birth she seemed to me making advances towards my feet (no more babiesfor Jazzy! I mean it!) and now when I'm sitting or lying down she runs circles around me and honks! She's even started jumping onto my lap but I'm not allowed to touch her of course.

BTW, the first batch will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. Zappa is doing very well and is getting nice and furry again in his... nether regions. I don't think he'll be long furred though, just a more fuzzy fur texture.

 

[naturestee]

Woot! I have my backlog of photos uploaded! These first are from over a week ago.

Zappa

Unnamed Rex

Satchmo

One of the unnamed furry blacks

Mama! I'm coming for you!

Satch butt!

Just look at that wavy/curly rex fur! Look at it!

*sniff*

My ear tips. They curl.

B.B.!

My ears are horizontal... sometimes.

 

[naturestee]

These are from Friday. On Saturday Jazzy started nesting and I put the babies in another cage. James wanted to be sure that we had good pics of Satchmo's curly ear tips. They're more or less curly depending on the day. I have no idea what's up with them.

Jazzy with fur! It will be a while before we see that again. *sigh*

 

[naturestee]

And finally, pics of the babies checking out their new cage on Sunday. Thanks for the awesome crate, TreasuredFriend!

At first I was hoping I wouldn't have to babyproof it. They can't get through the bars on Jazzy's dog crate which is the same size.

No Satch!!!

Immediately after taking this picture, Satchmo popped out of the cage. He's always the first to do everything. B.B. immediately followed, but the rest weren't sure if they wanted to. I, of course, immediately got to babyproofing the cage!

Tomorrow I'm going to try to get some good pics for the shelter to put up on Petfinder. We'll see if the little heathens agree with my plan.

 

[Djakarta]

They're all adorable !!

That Satchmo looks like a real character! The curly ears give him an extra jaunty look.

Some of Cookie's babies had curly tips to their ears. It made them look like they were deflating. They did straighten out eventually.

Im not sure who I want to keep more.

 

[myheart]

The pics are just awesome!! The babies grow so fast, that next week you will look at these pictures and say, "Where did these babies go?!!"

Yes, they are all that cute in person!!! :biggrin2:It had to be about a full hour of nonstop binkies, periscopes, and just plain cuteness! I would find it hard to believe that anyone would want just one of these babies. I think they would look so much better as pairs with all of their exploring and antics. The rex baby is very different looking-- feminine looking, but the curly rex coat almost looks boyish. More hare-looking in body type versus pudgy baby like the rest. That one will be interesting to see as s/he matures.

You have done a great job raising babies Naturestee!! I don't think Jazzy would have blossomed as well as she has in any one else's hands. She is really starting to show her personality and it looks great on her. A bit more time and patients and Jazzy will make a great companion with Fey. Don't worry about Oberon, he said you should pack his bags and let him vacation with me for a while.

Time for a ton more photos! These were all taken Friday.

First, the new babies. They are a week old today. I've decided to name them after latin dances: Salsa, Tango, Rumba, and Mambo. But I don't know who is who yet.

This one looks like he'll be agouti.

And some pictures of Jazzy. She likes to lay down to rest near me and has started flopping now too. She also gave my legs a few licks today!:biggrin2:

I was taking pics of each individual older baby while Jazzy was out, and she was curious about them. She jumped on the couch to join them a couple times, groomed them and asked for grooming, then ran away when they tried to get milk.

Hello, my baby!

*lick lick*

I love this picture.

 

[naturestee]

The rest of these are pictures that I emailed to the shelter so they can put the babies on Petfinder. And no, I can't figure out their genders yet. Grr.

Except this picture, because they only need so many Zappa pics right?

Ok, these are their Glamour Shots!

Basie

B.B.

Billie

Corea

Satchmo

Last but not least, Zappa
