It's not quite like walking a dog, it's more you sit in a spot untill the bunny decides to move. We have hawks, so having the leash means you're right there with the bunny when they;re outside "free ranging" on the grasses (chemical free yard).

So, I can sit on the beach with bun bun.
He likes to go for rides in the car sometimes.

We have had extreme heat here too, but the kits are doing fine, better than the adults are. Hey, do have any information about weaning? I heard 3 weeks somewhere.....

her teats will stop filling once they're weaned... lemme look... the book I have says fully weaned at 6 weeks, but it's a book on pets/showing, not a storeys' or other farming guide.

Fine fine, I stole the baby and held it. Then I put it back. it had a big fat belly and is definitely POINTED. Maybe its sable point like its daddy, woot.

I thought it was wean at six weeks then sell at eight weeks......stinking lionheads. If I want to keep any out of a litter, I will have to keep them til they are older. What a hardship

Thank you ♥

Oh! And when I fed mama tonight I took a pinch of the pellets and put it with the babies and they gobbled it right up.

Baby bunnies nearly double in size each day, they really do grow so fast.

How old are your baby buns Debi?

They will be three weeks on Friday. And OMG they are so stinking cute I can barely keep my hands off them. What little jumping beans!!!!

Here is their 2 week old photo shoot. They are really turned into bunnies now. They still look a little lumpy here.

I looked it up:

Since the bunnies start eating solid food between the 11th and the 14th day, they continue to grow and may be weaned as early as 4 weeks after birth. Usually, it is best to keep them with their mother until they are 6 weeks old, but you may wean them at 4 weeks without complication. Some breeders allow them to go 8 weeks before weaning. This maximizes their nutrition and growth. NEVER let them continue with their mother after they are 3 months old.

Weaning simply means taking them away from their mother. Sometimes, it is best to take all of them away except for one, which you would take away one week later. This is supposed to give the mother's breasts time to acclimate to not having to nurse, causing less pain.
