Our babies are almost a week old, and growing fast! I think they will double in size by a week. Momma is doing well, nursing and taking good care of them. We do have one that is a little smaller, I don't want to say runt yet, but we will see. I will try to give that little one some extra nursing time in the evenings to see if it will catch up. Sweet little face! This one has too much black so far, but the stomach and feet are white. Most likely will be sold as pet quality. These two are the same baby, markings are turning out nicely, fault on the uneven nose spot, but otherwise very pretty. The solid black is the smaller one, too wiggly to get a good pic! These two are the same bun, the one we are hoping to keep, so far turning out well!
my bunnies live inside the house with me i don't have a backyard only a balcony but i didn't want them to stay all day in a wire cage they need much space to run and jump and play so i made a bunny room this is what it looks like :

That is super. Lots of tunnels and hiding places. Mine love tunnels. They run through them all the time for no reason. Are they good with the litter box?
Our "pregnant" doe hasn't shown any signs of being different until today. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since she and the buck were together. I don't know if it's my imagination, but her dew lap appears to be getting bigger. Also, two separate times today, when she was being petted (once by my DH and later on by me), she made a sound I hadn't heard before. it was almost like a "chortle" if that makes any sense. It wasn't a growl or a purr. She asked for the attention and then seemed to get excited or agitated (?) and made the sound. She nipped me just the slightest bit and then moved away. She came back for more petting and no more sound. I can't tell by her stomach if she is getting any rounder or not. I know it's just a waiting game but just wanted to check on those two new things I've noticed to see if it was a common trait in pregnant rabbits. Thanks all.

The attitudes do change in the mothers to be just like us humans when we are close to our due date I just let mine alone to do her thing I pet them as long as she wants petted but I don't force her
if she wants to be left alone that's what I do . She will be happier when the kits are delivered .
I always can tell if they are pregnant by that attitude . That's when I set the cage up for delivery.
How do I tell the mother to this random litter? They were dead all over the garage floor.
There was 2 Blue Otters and 1Rew. I wish I could have known about them.
