We've had more babies here at the farm! Odette and Lacey, our French Angora rabbits, both gave birth to a litter each a day after Valentines Day. Odette's litter was that of nine black and pink little kits, while Lacey produced eight! Sadly, Lacey has prooved for the second time her horrible mothering skills. Noticing the cold and limp state of her babies, we quickly moved three of her strongest over to Odette's cage whom adopted them as her own. The next morning after I checked in on them, I found the remaining five kits all dead in Lacey's cage. Thus far, Odette has taken to the three babies from Lacey and is doing a good job of becoming their surrogate mother on top of her own. We are a little worried as that now gives her twelve little kits to nurse and raise. We've got our fingers crossed that all survive.
