I can't help it any longer..I have to share these pics!
11 days ago Aroma delivered 12 kits....: A rather big amount for a first time rex mother, so only 5 are alive today sadly..
First time I saw them early was early morning on April 3. Aroma was busy working on her nest (took a break to eat the apple I gave her when this photo was taken) so I just snapped this photo and left her alone.
I later came to count them...and got shocked on the huge amount. Its the biggest litter that's been born at school since I started...even bigger than the time a school lop dwarf delivered 10 babies, only 7 made it.
(And yes I am touching newborns, the mother didn't mind and as you will see from the later pictures, she didn't eat them...well some she probably did eat but they were so small and skinny they didn't make it past a few days.)
Here are some pics from today:
There are three black babies (originally 5) that are the spitting image of their father
Here's one that both acts and looks like his/her dad:lol:
Dad:
One rabbit looks like its mother. (Once again: used to be 3 of them)
Its already gotten a new home at my school (and since they were born there...it's not moving far:lol
Look! I can stand!
Ow! Fell over..
And last but not least. My personal favourite. I couldn't sell this thing for a million dollars. So he's staying. (Or moving home...depending on how you see it)
REW REX! :shock: (At least I'm 90% sure of it as I haven't yet seen its eyes) Rather surprising one black and one dark brown (sable) bunny produced one white kit isn't it? :lol: And yeah...there were 4 white ones originally. One of which you can see in the first picture and it was half the size of it's siblings... Rest in Peace everyone..
Bonus. The brown kit is special not only for being the only sable in the litter, it's also fat. Here shown with its current smallest sibling.:shock:
I'm somehow suspecting he's taking all the food the little one was meant to have. Sadly at this age there's little more I can do but make sure mom has enough food so she'll give milk to all her babies, not just her little clone:roll:
