There are seven cute little guys like this one. They are just coming up for three weeks old and starting to annoy their mum by running around all over the cage and trying to suckle while she is eating.
I forgot to mention that Bernardette has also had a litter. There are five babies and they are a week old today. Hard to get photos when they are all snuggled up in the nest. Project bunny is really getting going now! Are they too cute to klonk though?? Doug assures me not.
Mrs Robinson should be pregnant, perhaps she will learn from these good examples of mothering. She is living on the lawn at the moment and has been a bit of a nuisance by digging out several yimes. She isn't too hard to catch, but it means there are holes all over the lawn which isn't so great. I put the mesh bottom back on the cage, but the holes are too narrow to let the grass poke through, so then we have to feed her hay. We are experimenting with a manky bit of mesh from the barn what size of hole might work better.
This is 5x5cm, I think 5x10 might be better, so I am going to cut some bits out of it to see. If it seems good we can possibly doctor the bottoms that came with the cage, or buy some mesh of suitable dimensions.
