*Baby Bunnies* (pics added!)

I finally got to peek at the 6 baby bunnies that my newest girl had on Sunday. They're SO cute!!

Dad is Broken Black
Mom is Black

I have No idea what their breeds are but when i was checking out the babies i noticed there are Tri-Colored babies!!

they look liek they're going to be SO gorgeous! There's 1 that looks mostly orange and i am beyond excited to see how they turn out when they start to get their fur in more. There is also 1 Black one with 2 white socks in the front, so stinkin adorable..

I will get pics up as soon as i find my camera cord!

ETA: I forgot to mention that I bred my tri-color meaty girl to my tri color buck yesterday(left her in all night)..I'm pretty excited to see what they'll 'create' too!

its a girl

SO pretty!

LOVE

I'm actually not that big of a rabbit fan (ima rat girl

) but I just cant resist baby bunnies. Hey Bleenie I how long do you have to wait till your able to touch and hold the babies without the mom killing them? Ive always wondered about that.

 

[Bleenie]

I was REALLY worried about touching them right away. I wore gloves the first time & they were 3 days old. she just gets in and covers them back up afterwards. for as jumpy and scared as momma is she is a really good mother.

ETA: actually i used the wooden, blunt end of a knitting needle to move the fur after they were born so i could get a head count, lol.

lol. But do you know the day you can without gloves?

Forgive me for butting in here, but the answer to your question is, if the doe is properly accustomed to being handled, it isn't a problem. I "kitnapped" this litter, nestbox and all, about 2 hours after they were born for this picture:

The only problem was getting the shot before they all disappeared! As quickly as I could get them uncovered and point the camera at them, they dug themselves back under the fur.

Here they are yesterday, at 9 day old:

(These are Mini Rex babies, in case you were wondering.)

Bleenie, your babies are precious! Who'd-a-thunk there was a harlie gene hiding in there, eh?​

Thank you bunnylady! I couldn't remember the name for the coloring! i was supposed to get a harlequin colored doe form someone but she is basically wild & been loose for a while. glad i got one in this bunch but it's got a pretty fat head so i dunno if its gonna be a girl or not. Those babies of yours are gonna be so pretty! i love the red color.

How old are they when their eyes start to open?
