Oona Meets her Sibs

Glissade has kindled and has a four week old litter of five. They are big and healthy. Since it was time for Oona to have her first haircut and it's pretty cold at night, I decided to see if putting her in with her mom and sibs might be an option. It would keep her warm and also I felt she missed out out some socialization with other bunnies when she was hand raised in the house.

No one seemed to mind in the least. The baby bunnies were all over her and sleep on top of her. Mom seems somewhat indifferent, although allowed Oona to lick her ears and face when they first reunited. So for now, Oona is hanging out with mom and sibs.

Here are four of the bunnies at two weeks of age. One was off exploring out of camera range.
