Just wanted to share:

This last Sunday (October 23rd) Ebony, the bunny we're watching for a friend, had her kits!

We have mama and kits in the hutch we built and she made her nest on the side that's extremely difficult to reach. I have to lay on top of the hutch and reeeeeach down through the top hole to check on them. Of course, every time I reach in, Ebony runs over to squat and glare at me as I check her babies.

We have three little ones. One looks like it'll be white like their daddy and one is black like their mama. The third is a mystery. I've been saying it was white, but now that I've got a picture, it almost looks peach!

Of course, the kids want to keep ALL the babies while I had hoped to sell all but one. We all can't wait until they're hopping around and we can hold 'em!

If you want to distract the mamma, try feeding her a piece of her favorite food, or taking her out of the hutch altogether. It would let you get a better look at the kits. Good luck!!

Good idea! She loves oatmeal...I'll have to try that.
Yesterday I checked the kits and after I was done handling them, Ebony ran over and hovered over them. That was a first. Usually she just "glares" at me from afar and then continues on her merry way when I'm done.

@Genipher , mine love oatmeal too. I had the rest of a box of steel-cut oatmeal, and they finished it in a few days.
Finally, someone who knows about the "bunny glare". It looks terrifying, doesn't it? My New Zealand doe gives me it all the time.

It's a bit funny. She doesn't try to charge at me or attack in any way. She just glares. Reminds me of my mom, back when I was a kid. hehe.
