Rabbit's Diary

Recommended Posts

As some maybe remember I had to let one of my two rabbits go last year.

I was first searching for a new better home for the other girl Kiki - unsuccessful. After she became lonelier and lonelier I started to look for a new partner from a animal welfare orga but that wasn't easy as well, because they all were too young.

Until I went for a walk to an adventure playground (it's a part of an institution for disabled people) where they have some animals as well. And also an enclosure for rabbits.

I fell in love with a not too young neutered buck, I was allowed to take him home and the bring-together with Kiki was successful promptly! I named him Hawk. It was great to see Kiki happy again.

 

But then somethings happened I wasn't anticipate.

 

After one week Hawk started to build a nest and emerged as a Hawkine...

 

That's what I found when I came home from a photoshooting on 12th of April

But two were much smaller and too weak. 7 kids are a lot for rabbits in that size. And the ideal age for gestation is from 8 month to max. 2 years. Hawkine is about 4 years the previous owner said - so much too old. I think she was unable to handle so many whelps.

 

So two babies died on 16 April - two others on 17 April(in spite of start supplementing surrogate mother's milk every three hours)

8 for the price of one. Can't get a better deal than that! Sorry that a few didn't make it... these bunnies are soooo cute! Thanks for sharing!

 

I love the one with the bunny in the bowl and the one with the teenie babies in the lettuce in bag.
