Baby Bunnies

We have Baby Bunnies!! One of Railey's rabbits had babies. There are seven of them. She is so excited. We had one litter before these ones that didn't survive at birth, so she is in heaven watching these. They seem to grow bigger everyday. These pictures were when they were 7 days. They are now 9 days. When they were born they look like little bald rats. They are not cute. But after just one week, they are already covered in fur, and have doubled in size. They climb all over each other and make little squeeky noises. They are pretty cute now. They should open their eyes in the next day and should be hopping out of their nest in the next week. We already have people offering to buy them. IFA said they would buy whatever we didn't want so they could sell them for Easter. Railey is excited to earn money from her rabbits. She just can't wait until they are big enough to get them out and hold them. She is such an animal lover. We will post more pictures as they grow.

  1. Oh how cute!!! I had rabbits growing up and loved it. We didn't know that you had do separate the male from the female once the babies were born. The first time we had baby rabbits the male rabbit ate all the babies. Its was a very devistating thing for me when I was young. The next time we separated them. It was so fun having baby rabbits! I wish we lived in a place that my kids could have the same. someday maybe!
    Your kids are adorable!!

  2. Oh my gosh I love it! It reminds me of what we experience every 4 months when our guinea pig mama has babies. So much fun for the kids.
