Thanks for the positive vibes.
Mammy bun seems chilled out, has been dozing most of the afternoon but she has ate well and had a long drink after the birth which took all of 20 minutes start to finish.
We have a number of house buns. Some on here may remember we rescued 7 rabbits from a rescue just before Christmas two years ago - one bun had one still born baby and died herself a few weeks later and another went on to have 7 healthy babies (who we kept and bonded together once neutered / spayed). In total we ended up keeping the 13 buns (6 surviving buns and the 7 babies) from that rescue plus we have some other rescue buns so we are known to locally to be "bunny orientated". As a result someone who runs a cat lost and found Facebook page posted about this current little bun on my wall.
This little bun had been spotted along with a dead bunny (both white) in an old graveyard which is in the middle of nowhere but the area is popular with walkers / photographers. My husband and I went over to look for the bun but didn't find her although we found the dead bun who was clearly a pet rabbit, clean, good size with cut nails. The churchyard is very very old (oldest church in Wales apparently) and very overgrown so after a couple of hours looking we had to give up that day.
We arranged to go back a couple of days later and meet the walker who had originally seen the bun and that's when we saw this little girl bun. She was making use of a very old table top tomb surrounded by railings so even though we could see her, we couldn't reach her. The grave actually dated from 1797. We had to leave little bun there again but put hay and pellets inside the railings to encourage her to stay in the area and then travelled back a couple of days later (its about a 25 minute drive from where we live) and this time went armed with cardboard,mesh panels, a net, blanket and the piste de resistance - our teenage daughter. After a stake out and some nifty rabbit grabbing by our daughter we caught her. She's been here 16 - 17 days living in our bathroom in a cage as obviously she had to be kept from all our other buns.
So, it looks like we have 6 babies although there could be more. Bun is relaxed, looking for nose rubs tonight and is currently bathing herself.
Bittersweet - beautiful babies but I am so worried about finding safe, suitable homes. I cannot afford to keep anymore and room wise we are at bursting point with the 25 house buns we have already got.
