Rita the rabbit has had babies ;D
She's a pure-bred Black Rex and has been 'having liasons' with my neighbour Dario's dwarf dutch wabbits.
I stuck my hand (smothered in rabbit shite so it didn't upset her too much) into the nest today and got one out to show Alfie :D
IT WAS A LOVELY LITTLE THING! Can't wait until they're hopping around ;D
Oh well done, there is nothing like bunny babies and guinea pigs to give a girl a thrill, well unless it is a crappy hand XX Jeannine
There's nothing more beautiful than a baby rabbit :)
Awww. Gorgeous. Congratulations and pics please when mum lets you handle them without the shite covered hand! ;D
awww well done! Never seen a baby bunny - bet they are cute!
I've managed to count them today! FIVE ;D
2 pure silvery grey babies and 3 mottled white and grey. BEAUTIFUL!
Their little eyes are still closed but they managed to make a RIGHT racket when I picked them up ;D
And don't get me started on their ears ...... ;D
Just wanted to say Awwwww again! Pics pics pics pics! Ears too much cuteness for one animal really. :)
They must be adorable! Any chance of a piccy, please? :-* Like OliveOil, I've never seen a real tiny baby bun either. :)
Not sure how to post pics on A4A. Haven't got a Paypal account etc. But I'll take a couple tomorrow and e mail to someone that can do it if ya don't mind!
Just PM me and I'll see what I can do :D

Thanks Trixie and Jeannine :-* They are so gorgeous! Wish I lived close enough to come round for a cuddle :) Can't wait for the chick pics!
Trixe, you were so long answering my meat question !!!! I was amazed you only said one word.long as it was. I thought you would really bawl me out. Just teasing of course. XX Jeannine
LATEST HEAD-COUNT ...
TEN :o
Bunnyburgers all round then, ma duck. ;D
Shurrup ma duck ;D
they all ok, trixie, mum's got a lot on her plate, feeding all of them :)
10......10.... sounds as if they are breeding like rabbitts !!
Eleven ::)
Oh bless her! Is she a new mummy or dab hand? Hope they're all ok. :)
New mummy! My neighbour Dario said it was normal for them to have 10 babies, but any over 10 and he kills the extras :(
Won't be doing that, obviously.
They all seem to be doing ok. They're in 2 seperate nests now:
1 near the front of the box ready to hop out I suppose when it's warmer. These seem to be the 'bigger' babies.
1 near the back of the box where it's more sheltered. These seem to be the 'smaller' babies.
Wow Trixie, bless her. Imagine having eleven babies all in one go. :-X
DARIO! You cad. How could you. :'( :'( :'(
Gorgeous. I also love the "dalmatian" one. Congrats. I know how thrilled I have been with our recent addition so can imagine how you feel with 11 ;D ;D
Dario is indeed a CAD AND A BOUNDER ;D
And congratulations Lorna! I've been meaning to post on your thread! X
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I've never seen ickle baby buns before. Blimey though,does it always take as long to birth them all? It seems to have taken days ??!!
Hope momma bun and kits are doing well. So cute!
HELDI!!!!! No, it doesn't take that long to birth them all ;D
I just didn't find them all until today ;D And who knows what tomorrow will bring ::)
Rita's got an enormous nesting box/run and she'd hidden them really well.
Trix X

Bugger orf Asbean :D
And thanks Jeanni!
How did you get Bugger through the system !!! Do you have big connections, I thought that was a no no like d**n da mn
Highlight part of the word, and click the red A. It'll post anything then.
;D ;D ;D
:) :) :) Actually, they're gorgeous, that was naughty of me; I love baby animals, just to look at and cuddle, but really I prefer them when they're a bit older. Like teenager animals, if you know what I mean.
Knowing your sense of humour, Trixiebelle, I can't wait to find out what names you've given all your darling baby buns. ;)
The majority of pets in the Trixiebelle household are named after Coronation Street Characters Grandma :)
Tyrone and Fizz the ducks have recently deceased, as have Dierdre and Blanche the two pet rats :(
Rita the rabbit (as in the paper-shop proprietess) is quite happy for me to name her babies. I asked her this morning.
So we came up with the following, regardless of whether the name matches the sex. After all, we have a girl cat called Kevin and she doesn't seem to mind.
Ken, Vera, Tracey, Charlie, Alma, Dev, Mavis & Fred.
Only 8 out the original count of 11 survived unfortunately :(
They are soooooooo cute! What happens when you run out of names? Move to Emmerdale? ;)
MOVE TO EMMERDALE?
NOOOOOOOOOOO! NEVER ;D
Well that's a bit of a bummer - I've never heard of any of them! (I once watched Coronation Street and there was Elsie Tanner, Minnie Cauldwell(sp?) and a fat lady with a hairnet - (Nellie Sharpish?). Have they gone now?) I think I was expecting something like Pea, Bean, Pepper, Squash, Kale, Sprout, Garlic, etc. (Love Kevin the girl-cat, though! ;))
