Beautiful Baby Bunnies

The Babies are one week old today!
Clover's little ones are doing really well and are getting bigger by the minute.
There are three: 2 are gray and 1 is white.
None of us can resist holding them and cuddling them. Clover is a very calm Momma and doesn't mind when we visit with her babies. Sometimes she counts them in the nest after we tuck them back in, just to be sure!



Here you can see the gray runt.
Right now we call him or her "peanut" but we will think of a better bunny-type name.


Clover relaxing while her babies squirm around in the nest.

This is what her nest looked like when the babies were only 2 days old.
It looked like a white bunny had exploded in the cage because she pulled so much fur. Clover returned immediately to her slim figure after birthing 6 babies and pulling about a pound of fur!!!
We put a bottle of frozen water in her cage to help her cool down when it is above 85 degrees outside.

This is what the babies looked like at only 2 days old.
The pink one is now white. We thought the runt would be gray and white since it's legs and crown looked pink.
We think they are so much fun to watch!
I will keep you posted on their progress!!!
