Unexpected baby bunnies!! Please help!

[SummerTheAnimalGirl]

Oh. Ummm. Yeah that’s not good. I mean it’s basically fine for health. You’re unlikely to have any issues- it’s not like humans. Not good for pedigreed though. Maybe stick to the $40 price point.

Well they may not be able to spell very well or do algebra. But that’s probably it.

well, that is good news!

That’s good to know
My daughters two rabbits are both grey and the two pink babies turned white so we had thought that’s how it went
These were happy accidents and not into breeding so really had no idea how rabbit genetics worked
Glad you helped with this

As you saw, white rabbits are born pink. It's just that some other colors can also be born pink.

I just got these pics of them tonight. Do they look ok? Are they being fed?

They look fine.

You noticed earlier (this morning) that they were skinnier. Now they look round and plump again, so the doe probably fed them in between the morning photo and these evening photos. This will sound a little silly, but I can't think of a better way to say it: their skin wrinkles DIFFERENTLY now than in the morning photos. This time the wrinkles look fatter

As for recognizing bunnies that are not getting enough to eat: starving bunnies become very obvious, and can look like a living skeleton for a while before they actually die. (That would be the time to consider bottle feeding.) Yours are nothing like that. Yours are doing great.

Thank you so much! You have been so helpful. I am glad to hear that they are doing so well and my doe is being a good mama!

That’s why I suggested having kitten formula on hand just in case then you aren’t scrambling to find some of you need to step in
So far they look good and hopefully mom will continue to do great
I learned with the wild bunnies that nest under my shed mom only goes in 1-2 times feeds and leaves them
This is to keep them safe from predators

Hi everyone! Here are them tonight. They are all alive and well, and they were squeaking earlier. Kadie is doing a great job. Do they look healthy?
