Taking photos of baby bunnies is easier said than done :lol:
Last week I was asked to see if I could help someone who needed to find rescue places for a number of bunnies where breeding had started to get out of control. Details were sketchy so yesterday Lou and I went along to try and sex and separate the bunnies, so that we could start to put some rescue feelers out. As is probably predictable, rather than coming away with notes and information we came away with six rabbits :lol: There is still a week old litter there, so we are planning on going back in several weeks to sex those and see if we can help sort out places for those too (so if there are any rescues just desperate to take a couple of youngsters or a whole litter, please do get in touch!!) Our main aim was to take all the girls so that the same wouldn't happen 4,5,6 times over with multiple mums!
So, the six...Lou (thanks Lou - I couldn't do any of this without you!!) has the two boys, I have four girls...well they are possibly girls anyway! Some of them are still very little so it's still fairly hard to tell gender but this is what we think at the moment. We think the smaller ones are only about 5 weeks old (between 425 and 480g), and were removed from mum when she gave birth again having got pregnant straight away I've decided to name them after Bagpuss characters, so please meet:
I have taken loads more photos (most of them are just blurs) but our broadband is faulty at the moment so it is taking about 20 minutes to upload each pic. I will add more as I am able!
So please meet (L-R) Emily, Gabrielle, JennieMouse and Lizzie Livewire
