LATE NIGHT DELIVERY
We were about as surprised as this rabbit looks!
While we are aiming to reduce the quantity of rabbits that we currently have, we are still breeding them at the moment. Mostly, we are having some fun with fur color and patterns. This "natural" colored doe is one of our favorites, so we bred her last month to see what else we could get. The rabbit manure we've been collecting has been a huge bonus too, and we can't wait to use it in the garden soon enough!
FINALLY, THE BUNNIES!
After waiting for quite a while and then wondering if she was actually pregnant, we finally saw her start pulling fur. The mama rabbits will pull an impressive amount of fur off of their neck in order to make a warm, comfortable nest for their little bunnies. Once we saw that sign, we figured that she was close.
In the photo above you can see some of her pulled fur mixed with some straw in the nesting box. When it still gets slightly cold at night, this is also like a soft, warm blanket for the little ones, which certainly helps. We will have to see if any of the little ones have fur like hers, but at this stage the actual color can be hard to guess.
The pink part on this little bunny will most likely be just white, but the darker spots could be black, gray, or brown once the fur actually comes in. It is interesting to see the variety that can come from a married couple of rabbits, and sometimes the young end up looking nothing like their parents.
The @little-peppers did an actual count on the babies, but I forget if they claimed that there were eight or nine. While we do try to get a count and make sure that they are all alive, we don't like to disturb the new mama or the new babies too much. Soon we will be able to see their fur coming in, and then we will see what colors they are. Now they are basically blind and naked, but they are still cute! We'll let you know how these little ones do!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Never eaten a rabbit. Probably never will. But the poo for the garden is a home run. Nice organic fertilizer. We share a common passion in gardening...
Yeah, we really like the fertilizer.
Whoa, a very cute little baby rabbit. Congrats for the additional member on your rabbit family 😊
Thank you! They sure are cute!
Congratulations for the save delivery of the mama rabbit. Can't wait to see the the little rabbits growing and growing beautiful fur
I can't wait to see their color come in either! It is always an interesting time to see how the little bunnies will look. Thanks @fatherfaith!

That's a great shot! Where in the world is this rabbit from?

Oh, that's cool! It's really interesting that we have rabbits in almost every single parts of the world now.
Congrats on the addition to the rabbits family. They are really cute, I pray they survive, I would like to hear more on their progress.
Yes, hopefully they will all survive. Thanks @seento!
Wow. Animal husbandry is a very interesting venture.
We find animals very lovable and for young rabbits, the love comes so naturally.
What exact kind of cross breeding did you do @papa-pepper ?
Have have Chinchilla, Rex, and New Zealand rabbits that we breed together.
Wow. That's interesting to know!

I have plenty of these squirrels in my front lawn but they are not as friendly as this one is. They one in my lawn run away as soon as they see me.

Very cute! My brother once had one!

Thanks for the insight papa. I don't know much about rabbit. You mentioned the scat was a bonus, how do you purpose it?
The description is very complete with included evidence. Great @papa-pepper. regards from your son @munawar87..hihi
