My netherland dwarf delivered 5 perfect babies a couple of months ago but they all died, she scattered them all over the place it was really sad. I put it down to inexperience it being her first litter and everything.

I tried her the once more and again on her due date I found 1, then 2, then 3 then a fourth dead in her hutch

I had initially seen one wriggling about in the nest she'd made but to be honest a week on I'd lost hope of it surviving. Then last night she trotted into her sleeping bit and came out with little wriggler in her mouth, and she plonked it down at the front of the hutch for me to see - what a present :shock: :shock:

It's beautiful, very tiny but perfectly formed and starting to fur up. I'm going to take a picture if she'll let me but I'm SO happy one has survived.

it's now rolled over onto its back, legs in the air, it's really funny :lol:

and goodness wot a fat tummy we have - mind you I'm guessing this is pretty "normal" for a lone baby??

 

[NaomiR]

I hope so Julie - Dad is a black fox and he's scrummy

 

[NaomiR]

I'm hoping to cross lionheads with my nethies to get fluffy nethies :lol:

 

[NaomiR]

yes me too because they'll be all fulffy - my friend was telling me that lionheads are often put to nethies anyway to reduce fulffyness and maintain the lionHEAD instead of lionBODY :lol:

which is exactly what I'm aiming for :lol:

Julie how could you my bunnies ears are scrum diddly umptious!!!!

 

[NaomiR]

I also don't like furries with no fur or lop bun buns :lol:

awwwww chopped nethie ears lol I won't tell them

 

[NaomiR]

here's Tubby this afternoon, we still have an ENORMOUS belly but it's funny watching him/her hop round still eyes shut so keeps bumping into the edge of the hutch :lol:

 

[NaomiR]

I'm not really a "rabbit person" Leigh but these ones are REAL cuties - no one could resist even Julie with her small ear phobia would love them :lol:

 

[NaomiR]

well it's getting cuter by the second.......

 

[NaomiR]

well baby has been named Tubby :lol: and we've doubled in weight here she is this morning.......

and with her beautiful Mum Thulie.......

 

[NaomiR]

thank you yes I'm pleased with ears, head and type

Bunny has evened out a little bit bless him, his head is more in proportion to the rest of his body :lol:
