OMG Litter of kits HELP!!!!! UPDATE 10/7/06
- Thread starter Angie65
- Start date
Vet nurse came out off her own back as it wasn't something the practise did.How nice is that? 
Both buns are female. From the hair missing on the back of the dark bun, she thinks light bun gave birth..... but examining dark bun she wasn't sure, so they have been left together.
Couldn't see kits this morning cos they had been completely covered in hay, but I saw a moving nest. One baby was at the far end of the hutch though, so wore gloves/rubbed hands in litter & put it back in nest. Why does the mum do that? Hope it's ok - can't check til tonight :?
Light bun is definitely protective of the nest. She just watches me distrustfully. Dark bun is friendlier, but not as bold.
Dark & Light need names!!! :lol:

Yep, that's correct. Vet couldn't come out, but spoke to them on phone. My options were take buns to vet (didn't want to upset mum) or vet nurse had a look, unofficially. Both buns female, so no danger there :roll: - both buns had blood "down below" yesterday morning, & sticky out nipples. One was thin, one has chunky middle.
(It's in my head now that maybe other bun is pregnant......)
Any advice greatly appreciated

free Ads - there were 4 "female" buns dumped on someone 3 weeks ago. 2 were re-homed, so picked these up to foster wed night - then babies Thursday morning. :?

I really like that!! Dusk & Dawn it is!!
Will post pics of babies when they have fluff & you can help me name them too!
YAY!!! I named some bunnies I can't wait to see the babies.Checked them last night - 1 had died. Had a quick glance in the nest - they're getting fur already, counted (what looked like) 8 :shock: There's a really tiny pink one (still pink) - almost half the size of the others. It's been kicked out of the nest a few times, but seems to be hanging on.
Dawn seems to be trusting me a bit more now - she ate out of my hand last night, which is great progress, cos she gets a bit agitated usually when I'm about.
Dusk is very friendly.
Dad is coming over to measure up my garden. I'm getting a 10ft 2/3 tier hutch built, that can be separated into 3 if necessary for when the buns get bigger & need separating. Aiming for 3 ft wide, but might be a tight squeeze, so possibly 2'6.
I've also bought a small run, to attach onto the two tier. There isn't enough space for 10 buns in the hutch they're in. Will attach when buns start leaving the nest.
Had a long think, & juggle. Have decided as far as possible I'm going to neuter these buns ASAP/homecheck & re-home. Don't really want to off-load onto a Rescue. i may not be responsible for why they're here, but i'm responsible for them now. However, new to this so may be ringing Rescues for advice (Sorry Bunnymadhouse/Honeybunny ) Bunnymadhouse has offered to come out & sex them all for me when they are older. I'm definitely done with litters!!
I'm also not getting any free ad buns, unless the people are prepared to wait 4 weeks for me to collect. :lol:
