went to get the rabbits finally. well the hutch with the lionheads was bigger than the lady
told me over the phone. course she just guessed it because she couldnt find her tapemeasure. so
we only took one seat out of the van not two. so the hutch would not fit. so i will be going
back on tuesday to get them.
but i did bring the dutchs home! i was so stoked! once there the lady told me that the doe
can get cranky when she has babies. but she isnt cranky when she doesnt have them. the doe
seemed fairly calm to me and didnt seem that cranky but then again i did not just stick my hand
in there either. she told me the buck is always a sweetheart and knows what he's doing when it
comes to breeding. i'm pretty confident in dealing with the grumpy doe though.
the kits are 2 wks old. there are 5. now here is where my question is... one of the kits is
about half the size of the other 4. is there a "peanut" in dutch rabbits as in dwarf breeds? i
have read about it and am looking through info on the net again but i thought only the dwarf
breeds had the genes for peanuts.
only took the two pics because it was dark and i didnt want to be flashing a bunch in their
eyes. didnt want to stress them with the flashing after the van ride. they seemed calm though.

. As for the little bunny, I don't think he's a peanut. From what I've heared peanuts don't make it past... mabey a week 
. I think he's just the runt of the litter/ brothers and sisters are getting more of the mothers milk then the little guy.
it was sad but i was already kinda braced for it. having had runts of the litter with cats and dogs, etc. so i've dealt with the problems and dying of that sort and was not expecting it to live to adulthood. though it would have been nice if it would have lived.
