A new mum was born today! My kids discovered which checking on the rabbits that Molly had become a Mum! This was all very exciting considering we didn't even realize she was pregnant!....LOL
Olivia tried to tell me yesterday that she may have been nesting as their was her fur spread out around the hutch, I just said 'yeah yeah yeah' I doubt it, shes not even fat!
This morning Molly became the proud mother of 5 little baby bunnies! From what we can see we have two black & white, two white and one black. We moved her and the babies into a cage inside so they can be nice and warm, my only worry so far is I don't think she has fed them yet. Hopefully she will nest with them tonight, so far so good they are still alive.
The kids are so excited I just hope they survive.
This is an old pic when she was a baby herself!
Will post a pic of the babies in a couple of days or so when we can get a little nearer to them, we have to be careful not to turn the mother off them, sometime the Mum's can eat her babies.
Here's hoping they are still alive in the morning!
Hope all you mum's out there had a great day, spent the afternoon and evening finishing off my ATC swaps for last month and this month. Will show and tell as soon as everybody receives them.
Talk soon!
You already order the Trendy Trees set - so I've got it here waiting for you to play with :o)

Oh what a super cute bunny photo. Hope the wee ones are doing okay. I had to hand feed baby bunnies a few years back and it was no fun at all!!!
