The difference in Lulu in 2 months

[garden lady]

Lulu is the smallest and I do not see a lot of difference. She had the 5 kits, but I do not see a lot of difference in her.

There's the pretty Mommy! I doubt you will see much difference once they are a certain age. Lovely girl!

She did not grow as much since being caught. I am not sure if because she put all of it into growing kits. The males keep growing until over a year, but not sure about the females. Sunshine grew. They will not be a year old until around Feb. Her 3 kits that have the gray color look like her so far. She has been coming up with the kits wanting to be petted, more like she did before she had them. She was so silly and funny. She was so friendly that she almost kind of jumped in my arm. I could pick her up and hold her a little bit.

Sounds like Lulu is starting to know she's almost done raising her kits and can now be the Sweet bunny she is. Such a lovely girl. Don't know much about female Flemish. Just learning about the males with Fawkes.

That Lulu is something else. I went out and there and she was back in the back with all those babies nursing. I thought she had quit nursing them. Sitting just as quiet as could be and washing them. They are 5-1/2 weeks old now.

I guess she will let them nurse as long as they want? Luna's 4 kits now demand nursing. Chase her all over. She's becoming very controlling over her tribe. She feeds them when SHE thinks it's time. But the kits are eating pellets, eating hay, drinking water. They are getting nourishment. I was thinking of keeping the kits with her until 6 weeks, but I think Luna has other plans. I will just watch. We are removing the kits at least once a day for an hour or so, just so Luna could catch up and rest. She deserves it. She surprised us all.

They only chased Lulu probably just a few days. They were coming out of the nest, I think it was 12 days, but they eat constantly. Since they were not chasing and I had not seen them nurse, I just thought she weaned them about a week ago. They leave her alone and they all lay close by her and she is not upset with them around her, so to see them nursing as big as they are was a surprise. The kits chase each other and run around, and she just lays there and ignores it. They get petted and she sticks her head down in the pile to get petted too. My husband is building the hutch. I guess I will just watch and see when she has had it with them. I have not cut her food back because they all eat together, so she might not dry up for a bit. I have no idea how often they nurse. This was at night and I had gone out at an odd time to check on Snickers.
