Ya know...all of these adorable FLEMISH babies and I fall even harder in love with Meatloaf's litter. What thaaaa?!?!

Must resist cute darker babies :tears2:. I can't wait to see what color they turn out to be. Of course, I should stop looking at the pictures (and the new ones coming ).

((i love the darker chinchilla looking babe))

and accidents happen, glad the babies are with you where you can at least take the best care of them before finding them new homes.

cant wait for new pictures of the litter

Aggressive women scare me!

They are so cute Peg and no matter all the talks you give, try and teach them to be good, bunny's will be bunny's what can you do.

I almost hate to choose favorites from your rabbits, Peg. I get my heart broken, too.

but

I adore this little one. I'm in love again...

 

[TinysMom]

Minda - I knew that would be your favorite...

This baby wants to come live with me!!! I love him/her.

Peg, I rarely post in RO at all but read regularly. I just want you to know I love all your stories.

ETA: not sure how to post the actual pic, but that's the link for it, I guess.

...sigh... I guess I'm predictable

It is time for a short update.

Today I got in on the floor with the babies for either the first or maybe second time since Cyrano died. They LOVED it...having me to crawl all over again and getting pets and kisses and stuff. I was talking on the phone at the time (thank God it was a rabbit friend) and kept going, "Wow....you have a nice butt" as I'd pet a rabbit . I was basically trying to get a feel for their body type - and very impressed with the back half of the body as I think I got the depth I wanted in some of them.

The littler babies are doing so good. I'm watching them right now in their nestbox... as they're starting to wake up more and I caught one chewing on some hay earlier. A couple of them find themselves getting bored with sleeping and they want to look around so badly...but they're a tad bit shy. I love babies at this age - one of the ones that wants to play is now grooming another because it wants SOMETHING to do...just not sure what.

Finally - for those who don't read the rabbitry - I shared a bit about it in someone else's thread.

Nine days ago (Eight days ago for Sophia) - I bred Nyx and Sophia to Mercury. So we're hoping for healthy pregnancies and delivery there.

Yes - I know - it seems like we'll have a lot of babies - and we will - for a short time. But the first two litters will be ready to rehome when those litters are a month or so old - and that will help.

Oooh - one of the little babies just binkied straight up in the nestbox. They're growing so fast - their eyes are open, etc.

I guess that is it for now...

Oh Peg you sound like such a nice woman you sound like you'd crack me up lol!

 

[Hazel-Mom]

Love the new babies! If I didn't live so far, I'd come and get one
And even though they were an "accident", it couldn't have happened in a better place. I think you were just ment to have those babies .
If I were a bunny, I'd be lining up to be born in your house too, lol.

(edit for typos )

Well - the older babies had shredded carrot strips today. WOW...what a hit - other than the fact I got scratched up all over from sitting on the floor with the carrot strips.

I'd really had a hard time bonding with them again after Cyrano died - I found myself angry that they were still here and healthy and he was gone. I think I needed some time to grieve. I mentioned his name today while playing with them and one of them started to go looking for him (at least that was what it looked like). It was the big girl that always groomed him.

The young litter is starting to try to eat hay and pellets and...oatmeal. So far all are healthy and doing good - no eye problems - no other problems at all even. A couple are wanting to explore more and more.

I guess that is about it...for now.

They are darling little babies, don't be too hard on yourself about mistakes - anyone can make them and I believe that everything does happen for a reason. They look like they will be a blessing to whomever is lucky enough to be their new mums/dads in time. I'm so sorry to hear about your Cyrano passing as well, your tribute to him was so touching!

 

[TinysMom]

So normally I spend time with the girls and the babies lately - haven't had much time for the boys.

But I came home from work very early today (didn't work at all - was falling asleep while driving - even after a 45 minute nap at a picnic area - so I drove home instead of working) - and Robin had Mercury out for playtime (Hermes had already had his) - and I got to pick him up and hold him and just love on him.

I forgot what a love bug Mercury can be - and I got to looking at his face and stuff - he's one handsome dude....for a flemish giant.

On top of all that - he's probably one of the sweetest rabbits I've ever had - except for the fact he loves to follow us around (hence the nickname "puppy").

I need to do photos of him again - to show you how adorable he's become.

Someone nag me?

More later - getting ready to leave for a mystery shop soon.
