    The babies are 10 days old now and have their eyes open. I always find that the best part of baby animals :D

    They're fat and healthy looking. Though I'm a bit worried about one because it's smaller. The two double maned ones are both smaller, but one especially. It still seems fine so hopefully it will be ok. I wish I knew which were male or female already! And I can't wait til they're old enough to go out in the run with their mother. I don't want to put her out without them in case she gets stressed at being seperated, or in case they need feeding, but I feel bad about her being cooped up for weeks.

    And their dad out on the grass.


    Sorry about all the photos, I'm sure nobody cares what they look like every few days except for me :D

    Oh and btw, in the photos that isn't where the babies sleep. I took them out of their nest box so I could clean it and put them in the other other part of the top of the hutch :)

    Awwww, Thanks for the pics, makes me wish we could have smallies.
    I grew up with Guinea pigs, Netherland dwarf rabbits and rats and gerbils. I miss them and daughter would love them but not doable at the moment.....one day though:D

    I have guinea pigs, I really want Netherland Dwarfs, and I really want gerbils too :D I saw a really cute rat in a petshop the other day too, and now I want rats! But I have to wait til I move out to buy anything with long tails, since my mother hates them!

    Thanks for posting the photos, they are just adorable. I would love to have a couple of bunnies around the place,but the gardener I live with has banned the mention of rabbits!!

    So, just have to make do with looking at gorgeous photos, going into petshops is too distressing!

    Yep they were bald. I made a post when they were born, it's probably a couple of pages back now. Here's a pic of them less than a day old.

    I had Netherland Dwarfs (the pitbulls of the rabbit world) They were little terrors, even the dogs were wary of them...:D Very Cute though

    Thanks for your lovely pics:p

    Even though I'm extremely jealous, thanks for the pics :)

    Funny you should say that, ours used to chase our dog(cocker spaniel) around, I put it down to him being a wimp:P
    They were fun and very smart, my youngest brother used to make jumps for them from toilet rolls and bits of paper and they loved to wreak them:D
    He never did get the show jumping bunnies he wanted, just a mad fury demolition crew.

  • Registered Users Posts: 116 ✭✭Bearpup


    Awwwwww I just want to take them home & mind them! they are soooo cute!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,534 ✭✭✭morganafay


    Haha, show jumping rabbits :D I've heard of people doing rabbit agility courses!

    They're lovely, I'm so happy to have baby animals around again :)

    They're faaaaab!! Love the one of the dog looking in at them. I think Cavs have a natural fondness for buns, here are my two housemates:
