went to tuck the babies up for the night and give ruby some more food, when i observed a really odd thing..... the babies bopping up and down and making little grunts.... and they turned mad when i made them jump a little stroking them:?

is this a normal thing with babies :/

Babies are ready for food!

The noisey ones are likely to be the boys.

Some mum's feed twice a day (especially with lots of kits). Most likely dusk and dawn. I used to be able to sit and watch Sandy feed her seven and it was both horrific and hilarious.

She's doing the right stuff

When she had 7 eight week old rabbits all underneath her, upside down and wriggling for food, they managed to lift her up and move her 30cm across the cage. It must just be so painful on the nipples.

Its gorgeous when they are little. Its a lovely thing to see. Its magical really. Sandy just had a rough ride.
