Eating, drinking...

Kits today are 19 days old. I caught them eating & drinking at 17 days but they were a little skittish. Now they are more brave. Eating & drinking out of Doe's bowl so now they have their own.

I am loving these bowls. Ceramic & the odd lip swoop down lower. The kits enjoy eating while sitting in the bowl. I put the bowl on the 2nd level so Doe could easily reach to eat without it becoming a "potty" bowl. Kits found their way up even though they have food & water on the 1st level.

Babies love to sit in the food bowls! But they know how to tell the difference, the bowl will be just poop pellets when they are done eating.

My kits are 4 weeks tomorrow and I haven't seen them nurse for a week. Love to watch them eat hay and greens.

I can feed hickory and maple twigs with leaves, correct? was going to give them some hickory tomorrow. some say maple leaves are ok but not the wood. hmmm i haven't had a problem.

the wood right attached to the leaves of green-leafed/sugar maples is just fine for bunnies. I've never found rabbits to like even slightly older wood from maple trees. I don't know about hickory.
