Keebler pix

People have asked to see Keebler pix, so I got a couple cuties today.

I skipped yesterday's weigh-in, instead checking for round bellies morning and evening. As of today, Keebler has regained his lost weight, and a bit extra, but is still well behind having lost a full 2 days of growth. Whereas he had been growing considerably faster than Cookie Monster, they are today both at double their birth size. Official weigh-in results are:

Cookie Monster 5 ounces
Nilla 4.75
Next agouti 4.75
Next agouti 4.25
Keebler nearly 3
Big black boy 4.25
next black girl 3.75
small black girl 3.75

Cookie Monster is trying to open his eyes, but just gets little slits. Soon....once they start opening their eyes, I will replace the hay in their nest with fresh hay and also add a flat dish of pellets and water, so they can start exploring real food.

I've read that domesticated rabbits nurse their babies a few weeks longer than in the wild. Once the largest babies are on safely on solid food, I may move them into the new hutch and leave the 3 smallest with Snickers for an extra week so they can get some catch up time with extra milk.
