Day by Day Growth of Newborn Bunnies
On August 22nd, 1999 I got a call from a girl who informed me her
bunny had a baby an she didn't know what to do. She said there was only 1 baby and
she didn't know when it was born since she only checked on the bunnies every 3 days or
so. My husband and I went over saw the bunny's cage was sitting up on top of their
bar. I went around the bar and found 2 baby bunnies laying on the concrete floor
(about 3 feet below the bar) that had managed to crawl out through the wire cage and fall
off the bar. The babies were very cold and I was amazed to discover they were
alive. The 4th baby was laying on the wire cage bottom with its little legs hanging
through. I was infuriated at the situation since I had given the owners information
on proper rabbit care and they had ignored everything. I took the mama and the
babies and have them all at home with me. 1 baby died that night of a broken back
but the other 3 are now thriving and will be needing a home in about 7 weeks.

On Day12, the bunnies made their first attempt at eating food. I gave
Mama bunny a bunny brownie from Bunny Bytes and
suddenly, the three babies got up, went over and started nibbling and licking on the
brownies. These pictures show you the babies trying to eat. The picture on the
end is the biggest baby and the first to open its eyes. This baby has been named
Precious. |
