Day 3: Bunnies with ears

This is Day 3 of the bunnies. They look very much like they did yesterday, but a little bigger and their ears are more separate from their bodies. They look more like rabbits. There seem to be three gray ones and six chocolate ones. I can't believe there aren't any blacks. Maybe it's too early to tell though. One of the chocolates is absolutely huge. He must be taking more that his fair share of milk.



Another one is very small and looks like he hasn't nursed at all. I prepared the girls for nature to take its course, but they wanted to do something for the poor little thing, so I let them bring in Genevieve and see that the little fellow had a good meal. Pat Maley was telling me about a doe of hers that refused to nurse and how they would hold her in their laps and put the babies under her. It seemed to have worked for our little runt. He got a little nursing anyway.
