By George I think she's got it! All five are looking fed and happy. Mama's milk must have come in finally! I can't believe they have all survived-one was so dehydrated it's head even was wrinkled! Poor thing. I'll try to post some pics.

Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
It's common for first timer does to not feed, not make a nest, not pull fur, not have them in the nest, to kill the kits, etc.
It's not her fault she doesn't know what to do or doesn't get milk the first time. Breed again and see what happens. Pull the kits to hand feed or cull them.

Really I think mama doe has done extraordinarily well since from what I've read first timers usually lose their litters!
Yay for cute baby bunnies! :celebrate
