Took the baby bunnies away from Jessica on Friday, they are now in their own hutch.
Jessica seemed very aggitated and I wonder about putting one baby back with her, but decided to leave her till I got home form work.
Got home from work to discover one tiny baby in Jessica's hutch, took me a while to get my head round the fact that it was there. Turns out one of my boys decided Roger was cold outside when we went away for the weekend and let him in!!!!!
Obviously my first concern was for Jessica and I spent most of Friday night keeping a VERY close eye on her, but she is fine.
Second concern for this unexpected baby. It seemed cold on Saturday morning and I convinced it wouldn't make it. Jessica hooved over it while I turned it up side down under her and she fed it.
We have been putting bottles of hot water in the hutch [which is in doors] and have set up a light underneath to warm the area where the baby is.
Its now made it through three nights and seems to be ok. Still in a state of shock really. Even hoped it would just peacefully pass away so poor Jessica didn't have yet another baby to care for.
I know this can't be good for Jessica having another baby so soon and am keeping a very close eye on her, poor love.
