A Tale of Two Rabbits

Well I bought the boys two rabbits in the spring, I bought Trace one so he could show it in 4H and decided to get the other 2 boys one to share so they wouldn't bother Trace's rabbit. I let them pick out which ones they wanted and when we checked out they sexed them...of course they picked a male and a female! They were just babies so I asked how long we had until they would mate...we were told they couldn't have babies until they were between 8mos and 1 yr.

On Thurs I had to go out of town for the day. About 11:30 I get a call from Dustin that there are 3 baby rabbits in the cage...I about died!! They are only 6 mos old!! So now we have 3 baby rabbits, 2 are black and one is white with black spots. I had never seen baby rabbits before...they are really cute for as naked as they are.

Maisy, the mom, seems to be taking good care of them so far. They are about 72 hrs old now. The boys LOVE them. I really think this will be a good experience for them to be able to watch the babies grow up....I hope they all survive though! I will take pics along the journey and post the here.

Here are the pics from the day they were born and yesterday.
