Seeing Snowy's three babies has got me wondering if a litter of baby bunnies can have more than one biological father in the same way that cats can? Anybody know?

I may be well off here but I think bunnies can get pregnant at the same time by 2 differnet Bucks.

jacks-Jane or Elve might have more info

If they were mating at the same time I guess. It can just be genes though. When it's mixes they can be carrying anything so one fluff ball and one normal coat is perfectly possible from one dad

Like I said on a different thread to be longcoated, both parents need to carry the longcoated gene :wave: So, yes, it is possible.

Anyway that's enough breeding talk here.
