Get Your Cuteness Here

Baby bunny photos for you.  Blueberry Sundae is now 3 1/2 weeks old and beginning to get curious about  me.  His mother wants him to hide when I come to visit and she was trying to herd him as far away from me as possible, even grunted and stomped her front feet at him.  He listened, but only until she retreated to a different far corner.  Then he did that sweetly silly little bit of bunny walk on his tip toes to the open door of the cage.  I talked with him but did not attempt to touch him.  I can be patient sometimes.

 Hop Chocolate's babies are doing quite well, eyes opened a couple days ago so they are now exploring their house, and happily peeing on me when I check gender.  In this photo, you can see all three colors in the litter.  Starting from the left: chocolate girl, blue boy, lilac boy.  I'm leaning towards keeping the chocolate girl because I need does, not bucks, and bred to the right boy, she can produce lilac. 

And then there is the little white girl who ended up in Hop Chocolate's nest.  Her eyes opened today, consistent with my expectation of her birth date.  She started out bigger than her adopted siblings but they had a couple days nourishment on her, so competing against them for food has been tough for her.  I finally started supplementing her diet with a 1 ml syringe of warm water and molasses and she's now putting on a bit of weight so she doesn't look so ghastly.  She's a little wobbly, to the point I wonder if she has a problem but time will tell.  In the meantime, I am enjoying are little snack time together.  She's very cooperative with the syringe and snuggles in my hand quite trustingly.  She will definitely be staying here with me.
