3 week shots. It's going to be very hard to let some of these go. We may end up keeping more than initially planned, which isn't a bad thing either.

1.) Broken black tort buck

2.) Black tort doe

3.) Blue and Black tort bucks

4.) REW doe and broken "something" Netherland Dwarfs. Some orange and black on her, so maybe tricolor? We're definitely keeping the REW, and the broken is going. These guys are actually almost 5 weeks and have been almost completely weaned. They'll go into their own cage late next week if all goes well. FWIW< that's their hay basket. Molly (mom) is in the bg.

There so tiny! I love the lops at this stage, when their ears are just starting to "lop". And of course their eyes are way to small for their head. :lol: Great pictures! Especially that last one! :gig

Rabbits eating ... lettuce?? I put some brussel sprout leaves and lettuce out for the wild rabbit. It ate the brussel sprout leaves, dragged the lettuce out and left it.

Yeah, the adults get romaine as treats along with other veggies. Ruby isn't strictly speaking supposed to have it yet, but if Mom says she can, well, who am I to judge?

Why do you keep them on blankets?? Just curious. :pop

When we have viewings with potential adopters, we put a sheet or blanket down under the play yard thing, just to be sure they don't pick up anything off the carpet or try to eat said carpet while they're in the playpen. There's the added advantage of being able to quickly clean up 14 baby bunny's worth of pellets and not have to run the vacuum to do it. :)

We also use place mats from the dollar store on the floor in the cages. When they're still small like this, their paws can slip through the floor mesh, and when they're older, it gives them some place they can get off the mesh if they want to. Since they're a buck each, it's not a big deal to replace them when bratty rabbits chew them up.
