Seven baby bunnies unexpectedly appeared in our rabbits cage one afternoon (we aren't very good at noticing when our bunnies are pregnant). Since we had an unfortunate experience a month earlier wherein all the babies died within a matter of a couple hours, I had researched a lot about how to keep them alive and I was determined to do just that - but I never dreamed we would be able to keep all 7 alive! It took quite a bit of work and a lot of creativity to keep these little guys alive, but they were such a hit with our kids and all the neighborhood kids (and adults) that it was all worth it. For the first 4 weeks or so, the momma bunny didn't want much to do with taking care of her bunnies, so we would have to hold her over her bunnies twice a day so they could nurse (we employed everyone's help - even Dylan was quite tender with them). The kids gave them away to neighbors and friends so they all ended up with happy homes!
