Sothe day before I left for convention I knew Caroline was pregnant and due any freaking day, and I didn't want anyhing to happen while I was gone so I got one of those pet bunny cages with the huge plastic bottom and set that up for her inthe guestroom so Erron could keep an eye on her while IW as gone. Though I had written down when I had bred her I couldn't find for the life of me WHERE I wrote it down. But I knew it was shortly after Nieveh, who gave birth the night before I left. So it had to be like...soon right?
Every day I called Erron. "How's Caroline? Any Nest? Pulling fur? Gathering hay? Anything?"
"No. no , no, I miss you, no, no"
And I came back Saturday evening. And that night Caroline did it all in one shot. I checked on her and then went out to dinner, came home and bam...pile of fur with 6 babies inside. Exactly a week after Nieveh. But also like Nieveh, Caroline decided to have them outside the nest box, and just made a pile of fur int he corner of the cage. I usually just move the whole thing into the box and they take it from there and everyhing is fine.
Although Nieveh was a little different, I moved her inside because she INSISTED her nest be onthe wire of her cage. And I'd put it int he box and she's flip it over and put it back onthe wire. So I got another pet cage and put her in my guest room. I stayed up all night waiting with her but I guess she just valued her privacy too much. I went to bed at 2AM. The next morning there was a blood stain onthe bedding and no babies. And Iw as like ''wtf there have to be babies in here...." Turns out she dug a hole in the beding, lined it with fur, bad babies in it, and put hte nest box on top. But everyone was ok. Then I had to leave and I lost 2 babies while I was gone. But now they're over a week old, have open eyes, and are furry and doing fine.
Caroline's litter has 3 blues and 3 blacks. Nieveh has some assortment of blacks and steels I don't remember. But the other night she was making such a racket in the guest room t like 3 AM. I was abou to go in there and strangle her. I'd just gotten back from convention and I was so tired and she's all like ''oh now that you'r back i'm going to bang my nest box off the walls and stamp my feet and try to dig holes inthe plastic for the next...eh....3 hours or so. Sweet dreams Jesse."
"You gonna die rabbit!!!"
But the next morning she had dumped her nest box and pushed allllll the bedding to one side....dug a hole in it....and put the babies in it....somehow....I guess she prefers a more natural setting. So I took her nest box out. They're inside, and over a week old, I'm sure they'll be fine. And they have been for hte last 2 days.
Alright picture time....
