WHITEY'S NEW BABIES

Two days ago, Whitey became a mother again for the fifth time and this time surprisingly is her largest litter to date - 9 baby bunnies! Yup you got that right - 9 little ones! Just too bad though that one of them was born dead and another was found wounded in the head died this morning, but still 7 bunnies! I just hope each one of them survives. Because if you could recall, just last month Whitey gave birth to seven bunnies who all died after falling from the crevices in Whitey's cage. I found six of them the next morning scattered along the watery canal where they died from the cold, since their bodies were left in the water for so long - poor little bunnies! While, the only one left inside the cage was all mangled up and torn to pieces. I guess the last one was murdered by Whitey herself after hearing her babies crying for help and yet feeling helpless about it, unable to do anything to save them. Maybe, she blamed the surviving one for letting the others fall off and vented her anger at it. But of course, I'm only speculating here. I don't really know for sure what indeed happened because I wasn't there but soundly sleeping. Let's just hope that this time Whitey would be a better mom and not hurt her kits since rabbits are known to do that sometimes, if they are agitated or angered by something. I hope that this time all seven remaining bunnies grow big and strong in the next few days. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile, here's a pic of the bunnies taken this morning.
