Don't You Love Baby Rabbits!
A big bonus of raising rabbits is how much fun the furry, cuddley baby rabbits are. They hop around playfully in their hutch and snuggle their head into the curve of your arm when you hold one.
Here's an overview of our rabbit raising efforts with a focus on cute bunnies.

Baby Bunnies - Only 4 Days Old
The mother rabbit arranges straw in the nest box we provided. She pulls her own fur to make a soft nest for the new babies and to keep them warm.
We did not handle the babies at this early stage, as sometimes it would put the mother off and she would reject the babies. Usually we would arrange for several litters to be born on the same day. If one mother had too many babies for the number of nipples she had, we would shift some babies to the other mother and litter.

Our Family's Rabbit Experience
My Memories of Raising Rabbits
(click on the link below to see the whole story)
Living in the country gave us ample space for the heavy wooden hutches that housed the rabbits. They formed three rows west of the garage and the family laboriously constructed a stone wall across the front to set the rabbitry off from the driveway. At its peak, the rabbitry housed around 300 rabbits.
The photo from my scrapbook shows me in my 4-H uniform with one of my New Zealand White rabbits.

When the parents are different breeds, then the litter of baby rabbits will show some colors of the parents, but some will revert to colors of the ancestors of the parent rabbits. Note how some of these even went to a brown coloration that reminds you of wild rabbits.(photo from the Martin family album)

This is by far the most intelligent and informative resource for those who love rabbits and want the best for them! This book gives rabbit owners practical guidelines into thinking "rabbit" and understanding how to make the best possible environments for rabbits in our human homes. Besides the comedic stories of indoor rabbits and their antics, it also gives concrete advise to solve any rabbit situation that may arise and medical information which can not be found anywhere else. Harriman has the mastered the system for everything "rabbit" and I highly recommend this book. In fact, without this book thousands of shelter rabbits, abandoned and rejected rabbits would never have found the gentle, wonderful second chances they have. My gratitude goes out to this house rabbit effort not only for my own shelter-saved house rabbit, Checkers, but for the others I have had the opportunity to help via Harriman's book and resource. I serve as a humane educator at our local shelter and this book is the core of everything we teach on rabbit ownership. Believe it! (customer review from Amazon)
