We supplement a new mum's diet with BOSS and calf manna along with some rolled oats. Plain old oatmeal, if you have some that doesn't have some sort of sugar or flavoring added. She gets the black oil sunflower seeds, calf manna and oats in a separate dish since she'd push the regular pellets out of the dish to get to the good stuff and waste it. She has all the pellets and forage she wants and gets a heaping tablespoon full of each of the supplements once or twice a day. For the first five to ten days, once a day is enough if she's in condition, but when the kits are bigger and drinking more milk, then she gets twice a day. All the water she wants, of course. The bunnies here are English angoras and weigh about five pounds (2.26 kilos), not sure how that would relate to a lionhead. If they're much smaller than the ones here, then a bit less.
The pink ones will be white, most likely, so both the parents have some recessive color genes in order for you to get the pink ones.
The pink one is about forty five minutes old, the black one about four minutes old.
Day Two The pink one is a bit less pink but still pretty pinkish.
Day Four Getting less and less pink.
Day Ten
