Bunnies at one week

The bunnies are 1 week old today. Unfortunately we lost one at two days old so we are now down to three. As we did our bunny research we learned that many 1st time mothers loose their entire first litter. Princess is doing a great job for a first timer and these three little ones are thriving. As you can see they now have fur. But their eyes will remain shut for another week or so. The one we thought would be grey has turned out to be a beautiful brown with a grey tummy. The black and white one looks just like the daddy (Hopper) and Preston's favorite is the smallest one that is brown, grey and white. They are all up for adoption (two may already be spoken for) and will be ready for their new homes in about 4 weeks. Preston wants Princess to have another litter when she is done nursing this one. So, if you want a bunny but now is not a good time, check back in a few months and we may have more.









Thanks to Miranda for helping model the bunnies for their one week debut.

Cute bunnies! I showed Buddy the pictures of them when they were newborn. He was quite sure they were dead guinea pigs. We've had lots of baby pigs and when they are born dead or die soon they kinda look like the bunnies. I told him they were baby bunnies, but he was still doubting it!

Aw, they're so cute!!! I still haven't gotten to talk to Brit about it yet (he had to wake up early for a work meeting). But I love the one that Preston loves too!! Are they girls or boys?
I love the last picture with them all on Miranda's tummy! So cute!!!

It will be a couple of weeks before we can tell for sure if they are boys or girls. :-)
