Down to
the anticipated time and day our baby bunnies have arrived. It was really
interesting and fascinating to see the Doe prepare her nest, then go into
labour and deliver her babies. She ate the placentas straight after having her
babies. This is to give her nourishment but also to destroy any trace of new
rabbit,s to any lurking predators.
Next time
around I think I may be a rabbit as mothering is very low key. The doe only
feeds her babies once a day, normally at night. Rabbit milk is apparently one
of the most nutritious foods. Imagine if that was bottled and sold at your
supermarket! If she is not feeding her babies the doe is resting, eating and
sleeping next to her nest.
We have 10
babies in total. Five black and five grey ( Blue). There is one little runt. My
boys are fascinated by them and call them ‘earth worms’, as only boys would. Quinn
keeps saying to me “ we are not going to eat them mummy!” My good friends girls
have asked me if they can have the runt as a pet as “it won’t be very good for
eating” . Have I turned into the nighbourhood monster in these children’s eyes?

I think its discusting that you encourage people to breed their own PET Rabbits and then kill and eat them!! What a fine example (NOT)you are setting for our children. What the heck!! Go and live in China if this is what your are into!!
ReplyDeleteIts called the food chain you hippie! What's next eating eggs is eating chicken abortions? Pork cops are pig butts and ham burgers are cow flesh. Don't make it seem like something its not. Ps: Technically rabbits and rats are the same family... - food for thought on the subject of eating lagomorphs..
