Baby Woolies

Two weeks ago, Dreamy and Lottie, two of our Jersey Wooly females, had two bunnies each.
 
Lottie had two chestnut colored kits(babies) which are VERY pudgy. She's a bit of an over-enthusiastic mother. The bunnies are just starting to think about opening their eyes, which I am super excited about! Below is one of Lottie's babies.

 
 
Dreamy, a squirrel (light blue-grey) jersey wooly, produced one black otter kit, and one chocolate colored kit. The chocolate bunny was a pleasant surprise, as we haven't had a bunny of that color before in the rabbitry.
 
The funny thing is that I thought that this bunny was the same color as her mother when she was born. Considering this, I named her Echo. I had already got into a habit of calling her that when she grew chocolate fur. However, I couldn't bring myself to change her name, so Echo it is. She is pictured below.
 
 
 
The two bunnies below, Echo and a very pudgy chestnut kit, loved to cuddle, even though they're from different litters. 
 

 
Aren't they soooooooo adorable?!?!?!?

 
I have seen many different baby rabbits, but I think that these litters are the cutest yet. I hope they stay that way for a while!

Even Rabbits Have Drama

 My Fine Arts writing moved on to Nationals! I went back and forth so much on my topic this year and didn't think that this one was my best work, but it surprised me by going on! I wrote this short story in January, so I'm very excited to finally be able to share it. I hope you enjoy "Even Rabbits Have Drama!" Saturday morning dawned, clear and cold. Serawyn hopped out her hutch door and stopped to twitch her velvety gray ears in anticipation of all that Jesus might have in store for her that day. All rabbits, being superior musicians, devote their Saturdays to a community practice session, and Serawyn was no different.   "Serawyn!" A khaki-colored doe tumbled down the hill. "Wait up!" "Oh my gosh, Lilith, you're so loud." A fluffy doe with silky, dark fur, Lyra sauntered down behind her. "Hi, Lilith! Hi, Lyra!" Serawyn grinned brightly. "Girl, your fur." Lyra pawed a few of the offensive strands. "You know si...

Baby Bunnies!!!!!!!!!

 They're here! These cuties arrived on March 26th. Here are some adorable pictures from the last couple weeks. These first two pictures were taken when the babies were about a week old. We call them "fuzzy hippopotamuses" at this stage. They just opened their eyes!!! Its a bunny pile! And finally, we have the most recent picture taken at three weeks old. They're starting to get fluffy! This is Serawyn, appropriately nicknamed "The Princess." She is very photogenic. Since she lives right next to the babies, you can only imagine her dismay when she realized that she was not the center of attention. After she tried for a solid ten minutes to fit her entire head through the wire, I rewarded her with a nose rub and a picture.  That's it! I hope you enjoyed a good dose of adorableness!  ~Just a Girl on the Homestead

It's been crazy lately! Between the rabbits and chickens doing exactly the opposite of anything I want them to, school just being school, and teaching piano, the writing has been put on hold for a little while. I have been enjoying the fresh air and lovely weather lately though! I found a few spots of green grass down by the creek and decided to take some pictures! The water was sparkling and looked very inviting. I had to remind myself that it was COLD. I hope you all are enjoying spring as much as I am! ~Just a Girl on the Homestead
