Babies!

Today the first four litters of the year passed the 2 week mark, and I took everyone out of their nestboxes to change the stuffing and disinfect everything. While the bunnies waited for their little 'houses' to dry and become livable again, they all hung out in towel-lined laundry baskets, which gave me the perfect opportunity to take pictures without all that hay and wool in the way:-).

This first picture is of Etienne's litter---a few Torts, Blacks, and one Sable:




This is Marin's litter--also Torts, Blacks, Sables, and one Sable Pearl thrown in:).



Yvonne's litter had lots of variety in it--Sable, Sable Pearl, Tort, and 1 Seal there in the middle:




The three pictures below are of Natalya's litter with Sables, Sable Pearls, Torts, a Black, and 3 Seals (shown close-up in the first shot):






And this is a close-up of the two Pearls in Nat's litter, where you can see the great shading that will probably indicate very good color in the Senior coats.




After each box was cleaned and filled with fresh hay, all the litters were returned to their respective nests where they promptly and instantly fell asleep (a laundry basket can wear a baby out, alright--grin). Of course all these nests will have to be covered overnight in order to keep the occupants from jumping out as soon as they get hungry in the morning, but for now they are still content to sleep most of the day and not worry about much else:).



Anyway, more again next week when new breedings are added to the schedule and everyone who is inside will permanently be moved outside. Have a great week!
