I'll try and get a pic a week so you can watch them grow with me they grow amazinly fast.. as long as mommys and daddys dont mind..

this is my odd group i should say they would never lay with the partners i slected for them so I put them in a large cage with two breeding boxs and these silly fools all use one box and they all 4 share in the care of the eggs and babies..the only ones i have like that too as most pairs will not accept another bird in the cage with them..it makes it hard to know who the mom and dad is but i can tell ya what two it could be..lol

most of them don't mind at all i alway check on them just after they are born to see if there are any dead ones in the nest box.

Hi George,

I was really surprised to hear how much those rabbits weigh, on one of your posts. I always thought they weighed about 5 pounds or so full grown.

I bet those babies sure eat!
