Baby rabbits

Young Bun
So it would appear we have a boy and a girl bunny.. not two girls. My husband found these babies in our shed today. I have no idea how old they are.

Oh heck. Have you separated them now and just left Mum in with the kits? Unfortunately, she's likely to be pregnant again as they can conceive straight after giving birth. It looks like Mum is doing a good job feeding them though. I'm rubbish at working out the ages but they're certainly likely to be a few days old. I hope someone will be along soon with some advice.

Yes have separated now but as you say it’s likely to be too late now.

I agree with Glingle, but we can always keep our fingers crossed.
Their eyes won't open until they are ten days old.

There's some info here if you need it:

Good luck with them - babies are always adorable :love:
 
Thanks. I’m currently in hospital with my daughter so I’ve not seen them, only seen pictures that my husband has sent.

I agree that they look about a week old

I think eyes open at about 10 days...when born, they have no fur...so this all looks to be consistent with a few days to 1 week age range

they get really cute at 3 weeks
