our two female rabbits have produced six little babies.
Turns out Mrs Nibble is a Mr!

We have just found them, and think they are about 4 days old. Three have died but the others seem ok.

The three that died were very skinny and all white and black like the daddy, and the three that are fat and healthy are all black, just like mum. Is that just a coincidence?

Also, di I need to give mum special food, or anything extra? There's lots of info on t'internet about the babies but I can't find much on the mother.

my 8 year old daughter is off the scale! She thinks the easter bunny must have brought them.
I have never seen a child so excited - not even on christmas eve!

Unfortunately, according to our local pet shop - she's probably already pregnant again, and will have a bigger litter!
The OH had baby rabbits when he was a lad and he said they're fabulous and he said he remembers they smell gorgeous!
