Well, I just felt my bunnies haven't had their share of my blog space in a while now... So here goes!
My lil bunnies have now grown up quite a bit and have been shifted to the Bunny daddy's area now...They get along pretty well with their elder siblings, Tiny Tim and Motu and also with the dad.
The reason why they have been sent to Daddy bunny is that there is a new lil gang in the house now..Well, that's old news now..there is actually another baby brood from today on...and so we have 16 lil ones as of now...Great na?
The only tragedy was that one of them died. Felt so sad. But well, the others are fine atleast. More updates later! And pics too!
Alright it's been 15 days now and the lil ones are now all prancing about. They have even started leaping out of their boxes! Soon they are going to be all over the place.. But they are oh-so adorable! We let them out in the backyard and they had a great time fooling around! Dopey slowly is getting out of his lethargy and running around for once. They still haven't progressed to solid foods though, still need milk and we give it to them in syringes since the mother does not have enough for all 6 of them. The other rabbits watch the new babies curiously as they haven't still been acquainted. Maybe we'll do that only after the babies are quite grown up.
Fed them sitting in the backyard yesterday. They are just too cute, now that they are more grown up they understand that they are being fed, they even hunted around under my seat mistaking me for their mother asking to be fed. Don responds to my calls and comes running when I call...I feel so happy when he does that. Dopey loves to curl up in my hand or lap and sleep. Zooks and Nupur think of my feet as obstacles to jump and have a whale of a time jumping over. 6 beautiful babies...pure bliss, wish they wouldn't have to grow up! :( Love them this way!
It's been sometime since our baby bunnies survived. It's been really chilly and the other rabbits weren't too nice either. But this time my Dad finally decided that enough is enough, they have to make it through somehow. So the minute he realised that Khypo (the mother rabbit) was ready to give birth, he took her out of the rabbit house and gave her a lil room of her own.
The babies were given a bulb to get heat from so that they don't get too cold..and yes, it's the 2nd day today and they are still alive. I don't know how long they will be able to make it but I just have my fingers crossed. The newborns are ultra cute! Haven't named them yet but will soon. Here are some pics:
The mother is a lil scared right now I think, she might even resent the fact that she is kept away from the other rabbits but it was the only way out or the babies would have been crushed or frosted to death. As much as I don't like it, we have to do it. The kits are just the cutest little creatures and so adorable! :)
