R2D2'S litter, suprised me with a 4th but it's a dwarf.
Been fighting nest box eye in one of the youngest velveteen lop kits... keep think she looks better the it looks worse. Today it's in the other eye too... pulled the box last week so I know that's not an issue.

Man, NBE is a pain! We ended up with a bun blind in one eye because of it. He was super sweet and still got adopted out with no trouble, but still sucked.

Velveteen lops, they originally combined english lops and rex, but these are pure velveteen lop. the others are Polish and mini rex.

Wow, you could tie one on your head with those ears and have a warm hat.

Padame's 5 are 1.5 to 2.3#, ears 11" to 13.5"
Xara's 6 are 1.4 to 2.0#, ears 10.5" - 12"
Rainbows are 0.9-1.6#, ears 10-12"
All are 6 weeks. Want about 1.5# & ears over 10" at this age
They should mature to 5 to 6.5# and at least ear length 15"
So my big guy with 13.5 ears already is already 2.3#... but he's pretty cute. And the smallest at 0.9# has ears of only 10" but she might grow more.

My new "retirement" pen for the does. It's my outdoor chicken coop with old rabbit hutch boxes.
Padame' & Winnie seem to like it. Going to take a week or so to get them acclimated.
