That was adorable! When Cyrano had formula all over his chin it reminded me of whenmy babies were in their high chairs, and I spooned in their cereal. He sure has a lot ofpersonality.
How often do you have to feed him formula? And do you think he gets to nurse at all from his mama?

I still need to upload more photos and I just took a photo of a baby laying on top of Nyx and Sophia on the rabbitry floor as they're doing "Babysitting" duty. Basically - mama is getting some alone time in her cage...the babies are out for their playtime (Remington kept figuring out how to get out into the living room - talk about a smart little bunny - and I'm not sure his name will be Remington - but he's the steel buck).
Aunties Nyx and Sophia are in the rabbitry on the floor (side by side as usual) - and of course - a baby had to go sit on top of them.
Some sad news - Maggie Mae - my magpie lionhead passed away this afternoon. She'd been sick for a while - so in a way - I'm relieved that she passed. Robin was with her as I was napping - but I had a chance to tell her goodbye and give her permission to leave us.
And Cyrano is still doing ok - much to my surprise. I'll probably weigh him again tomorrow. He used to get formula every day - then every other day. He's mostly done getting it unless he seems a bit hungry - then I might make up a batch and give him some - and then use the leftovers with pellets for the rest of the babies.
I think I've probably said this before - I know I've told it to others at least.
I'm raising the babies to grow up and be like "Auntie Nyx" - who was sure of herself and affectionate when she came to us.
However - the more I watch them play and stuff - the scarier it gets. I mean...how many people can really handle an affectionate, curious flemish that we've tried to help them become more intelligent, etc. due to handling.
Anyway - that's it for now.

Cyrano MUST be growing - I just found him standing up and getting a drink of water without standing on top of a brother/sister. In fact - he was almost sitting on his butt to periscope up to get the water (and oh so proud of himself too).
I'll get another weight on him tomorrow.

I weighed Cyrano a bit ago - he's gained a WHOLE ounce and is now 7.5 ounces. Weigh to go... (pun intended).

Well - I thought I'd do a short update and hopefully a bigger update (with photos and videos) later today. I have probably over 200 photos I took last week that I never got around to uploading...so it will take me some time to crop the best ones and post them.
First - about Cyrano. He's up to EIGHT ounces now. His fur is growing in on his head and feed/legs and even a bit on his back (it almost looks like he has a mohawk cut going down the middle of his back).
He gets tired a bit easier than the other bunnies during playtime - but he runs and plays just like they do and he tries to act just as if he was a big bunny.
I notice that when he tucks himself in between his brothers/sisters during nap time - he will give tooth purrs. At first I had thought maybe he was in pain - but I've spent a lot of time watching him - and he's happy when he snuggles in with them - not in pain at all. He will also give me tooth purrs sometimes if I rub his ears and behind his ears.
His breathing is more normal UNLESS he gets tired out or is trying to do something that is a bit hard for him.
The funniest thing is that he's very round in the middle - so if he gets knocked over - he's so rolly polley that it takes him a bit to get back up - he has to roll from side to side for a minute and then get his legs under him.
The other bunnies are becoming little brats. I'll share two quick things about them.
First of all - I think the steel buck is gonna be named Remington - I may not put that up for a vote - cause I really like that name for him.
Anyway- when I put the blockade up so the bunnies can play on the rabbitry floor - he knows how to make it out - and will make it out several times before I can finally get it fixed good enough to keep him in.
He comes out and looks up at me - and then takes off running like its a game for me to come get him. (Did I mention he's QUICK?)
He's not afraid of running underneath or around the dogs and as soon as I say his name - he will usually peek at me - and double his speed.
Once he made it to Auntie Nyx under a table and tried to hide behind her - but she let me take him back. She did give him a little lick first as if to say, "Nice try".
Secondly - I said they're brats...right?
They used to SHARE the water bottle - everyone putting their mouth up to it to drink at once and maybe lightly pushing someone out of the way but you'd have two or three drinking at once (hopefully the photos of that came out ok).
Now - they take their paw and push their littermate away - or push their head down - and one rabbit even climbed on top of the rabbit at the bottle-SAT ON THEIR HEAD and proceeded to start drinking from the bottle.
Its like they're learning how to use their bodies to get what they want/need.
Finally - I think Crosby is still blind in that one eye even though it has cleared up. After watching her play and try to binky and stuff - we're halfway considering calling her "Calamity Jane" with Crosby as her middle name....she's just hilarious. It also looks like she may have lost control of one ear and can't bring it up.
The other day I was in the rabbitry with the rabbits and we heard a baby scream. We thought maybe it was the one trying to get out of the cage through a side bar (he/she had made it onto the windowsill) - or maybe it was Cyrano getting stepped on.
Now we're wondering if something happened to her ear - if another baby stepped on it at the base and did something to it cause she holds it funny - almost like she's an e-lop.
Which is all I need....a flemish giant thinking she's an e-lop...
Yep - that would be my luck!
More later...
