A Bit Of A Baby Boom Going On! Part 1

As the title says, there is a bit of a baby boom going on here. Baby bunnies that is! My daughter raises a few different breeds of rabbits and several are having litters. The photos in this post are of some of the mini rex rabbits and their babies also known as kits.

Coco and Babies
Coco is a chocolate mini rex and she, currently, has five babies. She has one broken black, two broken chocolate and two broken chocolate otters.

These next two photos were taken when their nest box was being spruced up. Cardboard goes in the bottom, then some pines shavings and timothy hay and mama fur.

Lin and Babies
Lin is a black mini rex and she, currently, has five babies. She has one broken blue and four broken black otters.

Momo and Baby
Momo is a black mini rex and, currently, only has one baby. She did have five but lost four due to the heat. It is really sad because she is such a great mommy. The heat is harder on rabbits and their babies than the cold. Momo pulled a lot of fur to cover her babies so my daughter took a little out but Momo pulled more (which they will do sometimes) and four of her babies did not make it. The one surviving baby is huge though because it is not having to share with feeding.

Here are some photos that show the size difference in Coco’s and Momo’s babies. They were born at about the same time. Momo’s baby is the black one in the photos.

This is part 1 which features the mini rex rabbits. In part 2, we'll check on a couple other mama rabbits and their little babies!
