Guest MOLLY Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Was lucky enough to capture this when i was taking other piccies today. One mother came out of the nesting box and accidentally dragged this one with her... The other mother noticed.... And promptly took her back in... MOLL. Quote Link to post

Guest fuzzylampkin Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 v nice how many kits have you? Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 6 kits, 4 hobs and 2 jills. Started of with a litter of 5 then a week later a litter of at least 9. Eight (or more) of the 2nd litter were eaten? Albino mother and coffee/sandy hob, so ill be interested to see the colours. The one survivor from the 2nd litter is coffe to coffee. Just noticed the hob taking them out of the nest box now at 4wks old to under the hutch...and i dont think he was being friendly so he is now seperated for a while with only supervised access Does anyone know if he will kill and eat them once they are older?

Guest chilli Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 i put mine back at 8 weeks he was ok tryed to hump them!!! Quote Link to post
tutnteffi45 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 yes keep dad out the way not good parents better to be safe than sorry he can go back when about 12 weeks is ideal as they are big enough to fight back also there teeth are sharper and he will soon leave them alone Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Why the difference in colour Chilli?..2 different jills? Mine are on the meat now, its amazing how an animal so young with their eyes still closed can eat meat. Quote Link to post
Guest chilli Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Same mother , will be intresting to see what colour they turn out . Mine are a bit of meat yet got some cokerals for them though they will enjoy tucking in to them . Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 MOLL. Same mother , will be intresting to see what colour they turn out . Mine are a bit of meat yet got some cokerals for them though they will enjoy tucking in to them . What colour are the parents? My albino jill is either going to the great rabbit run in the sky or back to Millet.....too evil for me so she should fit right in with Millet ...seriously though, and its a shame cos she is a brill worker and a fantastic mum.

Guest chilli Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 hob is coloured an the jill looks liek a polecat . Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ive had to put the nesting box on the floor of the run now...this is all new to me As soon as the little blind tinkers even smell a bunnie they are clammering out of the box to get at it, the poor jills are demented getting them back in They are incredible for being so young and still blind. Got all but one hob homed now, and he will probs be going to the brill local rescue who were willing to take all 14 at one stage MOLL. Quote Link to post
