Doesn't matter to me.
Mom and Sis seem small.
Mom and Sis seem small.
Sometimes a new mother bunny can't or won't feed her babies. That's why I always breed a group of bunnies. This time without thinking, I bred a bunch of first time mom's and no experienced mom's. My english angora doe wouldn't nurse and seemed to have no milk. First time jersey wooly mom only had one living baby. Solution, put the 3 living angoras with the jersey wooly mom. Even though she was a first time mom, she still seemed very happy to care for her new babies. They are half the size of her already but she makes a great foster mom to them. She has lots of milk and is very protective of her brood. She didn't seem to notice that there were 3 more additions to her litter or that they are some big babies. Little jersey wooly baby keeps up with them and pushes them away if she doesn't get enough food. It is very funny to watch the lone jersey wooly baby frolic around the cage with her much bigger angora siblings. It will be even funnier when the angora babies reach 8 weeks old and will be as large as their 3 pound foster mom. I will try to keep you up dated as they grow.
