Late last night, Odette finally had her babies. This birth was particularly special to us as Odette was our first rabbit and we came to love the breed through her. Out of all the rabbits, Odette is the only one that is officially mine, so I'm feeling like a proud momma.
On Tuesday she began building her nest.
And by yesterday, she was adding fur.
By 10pm she had all seven babies.
We are keeping our fingers crossed for this lot after Lacey had lost so many of her kits. Fingers are also crossed those little pink fellas are fawn coloured. Lacey's fawn has received the most interest. He/She is also my favourite as well. We'll probably keep her for our breeding program.
What a clever mummy. My minilop had babies some few years ago and I have kept three of her five babies.(we sold the other two) Bunnies/rabbits are so cute. Good luck - it is so nice to watch them grow.
Those are some fantastic photos! I just love bunnies. I think there is no cuter baby animal in the world than a baby bunny just big enough to leave the nest.

I live a very simple life on a small hobby farm along with my husband, three kids, and an assortment of animals. Life may be simple but I love every minute of it.
