So since the mommy and daddy were together after the birth of their last litter, we were pretty sure that our bunny was going to have more babies on the 14th. In fact, she was quite fat and hardly moved (I remember feeling that way too!). Anyway, I decided that it would be a lot of fun to take baby bunnies to my mom's house and Blake's mom's house for Easter to show the nieces and nephews. So I put the daddy bunny back in the cage with the mom since our other babies had all been claimed and moved onto their new families.
Sure enough when we woke up on the morning of the 15th we had 10 baby bunnies. Holy crap...me and my bright ideas. I just assumed that we would have 5 babies again since the last two batches had 5...but nope. This time I guess I got what I deserved. Although the next batch of bunnies expected to come on April 13th will be the only ones that have been planned for. Heaven help me if she has 10 more. So far I have 12 of the 10 spoken for. So I am hoping that at least 10 of them go through with it. I wish I would have been smart enough to take pictures of them when they were first born because they were half of the size of our other ones. They are 1 week old in this picture. No wonder the mom was SO miserable. I would have been to if it were me. So we should have one more batch of bunnies and then we are DONE. Our plan is to keep two of the babies and then get rid of our mom and dad bunny and start over. I really wouldn't mind keeping a boy and a girl, but you are unable to tell the gender of a bunny until they are around 3 months old. So I guess we will leave it to chance.
