Hello everyone,
Would like to say what a great place you have here, it is wonderful to see a thriving community so dedicated to a common interest. Come here often to read up, don't post as much as we could, sorry
We have two dwarf mini lops, Lilly is 15 months and Fred 7 months, both are much loved family pets. they live in seperate cages in the kitchen and spend a lot of time happily hoping around the house together.
Lilly gave birth to her first litter last night, 7 kits one of which did not make it, now removed so leaves 6. Mum and kits appear to be doing well, Lilly has made a lovely nest in the corner of her cage all appears well and we are busy looking for good homes.
A few things, we understand, extra food, keep mum and dad apart,nice and warm in the kitchen. we are a liitle concerned about hygiene in the cage, is cleaning around the nest and doing the rest of the cage sufficent for the next couple of weeks or is more required, like moving the kits to clean under the nest? Also sould i make a box from plywood and move the kits and nest into there and put that in Lillys cage?
Any advice gratfully recieved
P.S
Promise i will post pics, once the kits are have fur and look really cute, know how you ladies on here love cute bunnie pics
thanks
Keith, Jackie, Lauren and Alice
