Watch the lionhead bunnies grow

[MsBinky]

That's ok Peg, I'll help you out... I'll take both Ziggy and Piggy. LOL. *Looks innocent* I hope more turn out to be females though... But heh... You'll just have to make more babies :tongue

 

[TinysMom]

Well - here they are.....at five weeks old. I took over 70 pictures of them at 4 weeks old and only a dozen (maybe) were worth putting up and I didn't have the time or energy to post them.

But here's a video from yesterday....




and another one...

OMG - letting her go is going to be one of the hardest things I'll have to do this year. But she is definitely pet quality - as her ears/head/body don't add anything to the lionhead breed that I'd want to pass on. In addition, she carries REW (red eyed white) and I just don't need that in my brokens at all. I want to keep her - but I know I can't....she won't get the love she deserves. So the verdict is - she is going to be rehomed....even if it hurts and I want to cry.

And I love Ziggy's markings, cute!
I'm really torn between who has the best markings - Ziggy - or Al. Al has the butterfly on the nose but I adore Ziggy's pattern. Right now it looks like he has wool on his ears and that would dq him from showing...but I am probably going to be making the decision on whether or not to keep him right at or around the 8 week mark. Really tough decision in his case - especially with his hilarious personality.

And Al has such a pretty color!
I love Al's markings - and I love his personality. Unfortunately - I have a broken tort buck (his dad) - so I find myself going back and forth on whether I'll keep him or not. A lot of it will depend upon his body type and ears as he gets older.

And I just love Piggy...so cute!!
Oh my....talk about an interesting lionhead.....Piggy has the temperament of a flemish - bring him out to play and after 15 minutes he wants to go hide behind the pillows and nap in comfort. He'll give Tiny a run for his money for the title of "dumbest doorstop". Remember how we used to trance him? No more...no..he's a BIG bunny now....he won't give in to such foolishness from mere humans.

They're all very interesting and they are so much fun to watch. I keep trying to think about what life would've been like if I'd left them all with Isenstar...they're already about 2/3 of her size and she has two in there with her...if she had all four? Poor mama...

She's counting down the days till we'll wean them I think and the babies are counting down the minutes till their next playtime...

Aww...too cute...

I have to admit, I'm smitten with that little butterfly on Becky's nose, hehe!!

What a bunch of cuties! Each with their own special cuteness factors!

:inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove: One for each of them, hehe!

I just adore Ziggy. Others are cute but Ziggy has something special.

I spent some time watching Ziggy in his cage w/ Girly Girl last night - it was hilarious.

I first started watching him 'cause I went by and he was on his back w/ his feet up in the air - just a nursing for all he could.

When he got done - he started to nap for a bit and woke up again maybe 15 minutes later when there was a noise that woke him up.

During the next 45 minutes or so - I watched him approach mama for more nursing at least three times. Each time she said no and moved away.

The last time - he sort of snuck beside her - rolled on his back and got under her somehow. I'm still not sure how he did it - but he was under her so quickly...she gave in and let him nurse some more....I guess....because he stayed there for a few minutes with her licking him and looking at him as if she was saying, "you little pest...what am I going to do with you??"

He's very persistent when he wants something.

I want. I think watching him he reminded me of Connor and we all know how Connor is my baby.

Well - I have more videos to continue uploading to photobucket - but here they are at almost 6 weeks old...

[TinysMom]

Well - here are the last two videos of the babies...







In one of them - Robin tries to make Piggie look like the "saddest kitty" in the world...

So cute!! Al looks a lot like Tallulah! Are his markings kind of cinnamon/nutmeg colored? Like brown with a hint of orange? Tallulah is a very fluffy girl and for the first couple days both her ears were straight upa lot of the time, so my little Holland Lop did look very Lionhead-like Also, I'm really sorry to hear about Munchkin How are you doing? How is Twix?

 

[TinysMom]

Al is broken tort like his dad....Triad.


Triad

Twix is ok - she's gone back to the rabbitry as she doesn't need a mama cage. I am still upset about what happened but she was protecting her turf and I need to remember that rabbits don't think like humans.

Everytime I take the babies out to play, I can't help but think about Munchkin and wonder what he/she would have been like. I'm going to be breeding Arya to Triad to try for another charlie - and I will breed Girly Girl again to him too. She has LOVED being a foster mama (she doesn't know about the foster part - I swear she still lectures Ziggy about the time he escaped to another cage and she thought he'd died).

I've done two breedings and I'm about to do a couple more - one will be for lionlops....if Milina is receptive to the buck I've chosen!

This is Billy Sunny - a lionlop - he lost his mane unfortunately and is pretty ugly (but oh so friendly)..









His black sister kept her mane and is really pretty - I need to take pictures of her.

 

[undergunfire]

I love Billy Sunny...and all of his oddliness, lol! He just seems to have a tint of Morgan in him...he has that special natural "bond" to me .

Give him a fruit loop and a pat for me, Peg !

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Aww, I think Billy Sunny is cute! He has chops :biggrin2: Tallulah's breeder said she's a broken tortoiseshell too.

I hope you get another baby similar to Munchkin! Maybe he will be Munchkin Jr.

 

[cheryl]

Right now Billy's future is undecided. Art has picked up on how affectionate he is (he really IS affectionate) even if he is the ugliest rabbit I have. However, it seems a shame to keep such an affectionate bunny from a chance of having a home of his own.

He went through a really bad molt and his fur looked horrid which is why I did not rehome him this fall. I'm seriously considering it in the next couple of months...its just a really tough decision to make.
