My Pet Rabbit Gave Birth

The babies were a week old yesterday and they're getting really big really fast. I checked them in the morning and then after school they were like double the size! No more pink - they're growing their fur and they are all multi-coloured.

Mysti is so good; she has taken to motherhood like a duck to water, she definitely knows what she's doing and knows I'm there to help.

She is so much calmer than I expected her to be, amazingly she didn't attack me like I was expecting.

I have cleaned the nest and there are six kits live and well, they are so cute! :)

A couple of times when I checked them she has come and fed them and gestured for me to stroke her face, it is so amazing!

I feel so proud of myself, like, I feel like they're a part of me and I think I'm going to find it hard to let them go although two of my aunts are having a couple each.

There are two cuties and their markings are beautiful. I'm just hoping they're girls because it would make things so much easier.

Attached is a picture of them when they were three days old...
