Getting Ready

So I have some rabbits who are ready to be sold.  They're up on craigslist and I've already sold quite a few.  The one litter I'm selling has 3 females and 2 males left.   They are one of the litter's who lost their mother due to a heart attack from the bear.  They are the sweetest rabbits ever! 

The girls are all solid colors and then the boys are the spotted ones.  It's been interesting raising this particular litter.  They were their mother's very first and only. 

When they were babies, they were very crazy!  They would run around like they were being chased.  And if you tried to hold them (which I would do multiple times every day) they would scream as loud as they could.  I would hold them and when they ran out of breath, they would pause, then start screaming again. 

They were very 'anti-social'.  Their mother, Nutmeg, didn't seem to care what they did.  She was extremely laid back and loving. 

Well...after Nutmeg died, the babies wouldn't leave the inside section of the hutch.  Nor would they run around.  In fact, they haven't made a sound since she passed.  Now, instead of screaming and running like crazy, all they want to do is be held and loved.  I moved them into a different cage to keep them from going into depression and also to give them a new area to help peak their curiosity.

This picture they were doing a mini 'pile-up'.  They're so cute!

They really do have the best disposition ever now.  I don't have any all black females, so I'm thinking of keeping the black one.  She's smaller than her siblings, but extremely loving and sweet. 

I have another litter who's ready to be sold.  This litter was all girls.  They were fortunate as their mother was in one of the hutches that the bear sat on, however she's fine and in perfect health! 

Their aren't any multi colored rabbits in this litter, but they're still wonderful.  I have 6 left in this litter. 

This litter is interesting too.  All the females are around the same size except for the 2 black ones.  The one black female is about 2 times bigger than all the others, while the other female is half the size of her sisters. 

I just find it fascinating how they're from the same parents, born the same day, raised the same way, and yet they can look different, act different, and even be completely different sizes!

I only have one other litter for sale right now.  I've sold all but 2 albino boys.  They're fun to watch too though.  They're still with their mom as of now, but it's fun to watch them interact.  Even though they're almost 10 weeks old, they still try and get milk from her every now and then.  Yes, they're fully weaned, but they do enjoy the tasty snack.  However, I don't think their mother enjoys it as much as they do.
