Bandie & Skor’s Litter @ 16 Days

Adina & Skor’s Litter @ 18 Days

I noticed that the kits no longer chill out in the nest box so I decided to remove both the next boxes. I placed dried timothy hay at the corner of the cages where they like to cuddle up most of the time.

They are a feisty lot and likes running around.

I just got an urge to compare these 2 current litters with their mummies’ litter. I am looking at the structure and overall disposition.

This is Unix’s litter at 12th Day:

Adina’s Litter at 12th Day:

Bandie’s Litter at 13th Day:

There are a few considerations that I have to put in mind when comparing. Unix had 6 in her litters and all her kits survived. In terms of milk production and delegation, I thought she did a super good job. Adina’s litter needless to say that it is quite obvious she had ample of milk supply. Bandie’s milk production is all time low I believe. Sob sob….

What does all these photos have in common???

I have to admit that since young, I was a really sucker for cute things. Sorry it may sound a little “sissified” but it remains a fact even though I am a father now.

I took a couple of cute photos of the bunnies today (again…).

Wadya starin’ at???See, my ear is falling down already…What’s with that CORNER?

This one’s reserved..May be a boy…
The structure caught my attention…

Look at that paw and head..

Massive head?

Awwww…isn’t that cute?

I am having headache already with Adina’s litter. Which should I keep? What should I go for? Structure? Boy or Girl matters? Oh my goodness…My mind is getting messed up already…I am little disappointed with Bandie’s litter development. Maybe it is because I am comparing her kits with Adina’s I really do hope they will grow up faster and show signs of massiveness soon. I wanna decide which to keep ASAP.Today being the 13th day for Bandie’s kits, 2 of them still did not have their eyes open. I had to intervene by prying those eyes open “manually”. Guess they are too lazy to open their eyes on their own. Here they are:

Seriously, I am not racist…but these 2 are really dark. I find it so hard to take their photos. Most turned out so dark I cannot even see their eyes…

Turned out, I may be color blind. Not just me alone but my other friend who have seen the 2 black kits. They are indeed black. Someone just confirmed that with me and the chocolate color reflected under direct sunlight was due to oxidation. It is caused by our tropical climate. That is not counted as black. Chocolate gene is recessive so I believe neither Bandie nor Adinna has this gene in them. In order to get chocolates, both parents must have that gene.

Anyhow, they are all lovely whether black, white, green, red or blue…
