A couple of ways out of the ordinary observations

I just wanted to fill you all in on a few things my rabbits have done that is not the norm.

•  First they had all their kits in the box.  
• Next the did not pull fur until a few days after.  Today Foxy pulled a lot and Beauty did a little the third day.
• I have seen Beauty and now Foxy feeding in the middle of the day.  Everything I read said they would feed at dusk and dawn.
• The little ones will uncover themselves, I believe, when the nest box is too warm.  With 10 little ones in Beauty's box and getting their fur could make it pretty warm in there.  Foxy's little ones were close to the opening of the box.  Not sure if she fed them and they 'dropped' there after the feeding or if they crawled there.  It sure would be nice to be a fly in that rabbit house!
• The nursing mothers are drinking their water to empty twice a day!  Plus I give them fresh green grass and a half carrot each day.  They need plenty of water to make their milk.

All 17 kits are doing well.  I plan to get a scale so I can tell you how much they have grown.  With Thumper due over the weekend or early next week, I should get a measurement of a typical newborn and then weigh Beauty's babies which are 8 days old now are so adorable and so big.  Cant wait to show you.

Here is the nestbox undisturbed.  Notice how they are spreading out.  Must be getting pretty hot in there!

 Here are a few in the spotlight!  Or camera light to be more exact!

Look at this one checking out the tp roll.  He is already curious about his surroundings.  They could easily jump right out of my hands.  They are strong and heavy, like the size of a newborn pup. 
We will be gone all day tomorrow to our grandson's first birthday party so please come back over the weekend or early next week and see how Thumper is doing with her new motherhood role.  Thanks for stomping by:)
