And a couple baby photos. I did loose one tonight. Mom injured it and my husband had to cull. It was a terminal injury and letting it suffer was just wrong.

So mom injured a baby after i was checking on them for the fourth time today. She jumped on them and her nail punctured their side. Its intestines had come out of the hole. If it had not pulled the intestine out it may have recovered but likely not. The humane thing was to cull it. My husband did it for me because i was already crying. It happened because i was in there too much. So ive covered her hurt entirely with a fitted sheet. So she cant see out and we cant see in. If i had a camera i could watch them. But i dont. So ill do my best to only open it to feed and water mom. Which is hard because im hands on. I may shelf the babies. Im hoping she feeds them. As of this afternoon they had no been fed. :( Fingers crossed. I knew she was a risk. But its hard you get attached to tiny popcorns SO fast. And then you loose some....
So hope this girl becomes a better mama and feeds her babies.

I hope so too . Can you bottle feed bunnies ?

Kinda. You can. You can bottle feed them squirrel food or kitten formula with added fats like karo syrup. BUT rabbits are VERY hard to keep alive on bottle feeding. They only nurse from mom once MAYBE twice a day. And in their nursing they get enough food for the entire day. Its so fatty. Its very hard to replicate that.

She DID feed babies this morning. I looked and they are fat and fed. I bribed her with a treat.
