Hi Everyone
I adopted 2 little lops from the RSPCA yesterday. They are roughly 20weeks old and were hand reared by the foster carer from about 7-10 days old.
I think they are mini lops but they are so tiny, probably about a kg each if that. The girl, Skip has been spayed but Wotsit the boy is not yet neutered as he isn't ready. It's estimated he'll be ready in about 2-4 weeks.
Are hand reared baby's usually smaller than naturally raised ones as I remember my previous boy, Denzil being this size when he was 9 weeks old! He was supposed to be a mini lop like these as well. What age do bunnies stop growing usually? These two are like proper babies.
They are so adorable but just so tiny. They're settling in well but have been a bit confused about the huge room they have to themselves now :lol: They also seem to create a poop explosion every time I leave the room! It's still early days for litter training, particularly as Wotsit isn't done.
So, it's been 8 years since I've had such young rabbits as my last pair, Daisy and Denzil, I had until they were nearly 8 and nearly 7 respectively. Any tips on dealing with such young and tiny bunnies?
They have their favourite veggies at tea time and for now, whilst they settle in I'm not introducing any new foods......I'll do this over time.
Here are the little cuties
Thanks!
