We have a new litter of rabbits for sale from Marie our Netherland dwarf female amd Pi our dwarf cashmere lop male. The litter was admittedly an accident because Marie is very sneaky but they are none the less very adorable.
The babies are $40 each which includes vaccination against calicivirus (vaccination against the Myxoma virus is not available in Australia). The babies are available to take home any time since they are now 8 weeks old. Even though baby rabbits start eating solid foods by about two and a half weeks old they will still be drinking from their mother until abaout 8 weeks. This is important to maintain as their immune systems are not fully developed and so recieve the antibodies they need from their mothers through their milk.
There are five babies in this litter, two albino white (both girls) and three silver pointed cream (two boys and one girl). They were born on the 19th of February, 2009. Interestingly the two albino girls are starting to get grey fur on their ears despite having full albino eyes. Feel free to make a time to come and see them, we will be only too happy to introduce you and give you a hold.

Now the babies are a little bit older we have noticed that the two, previously albino girls are growing gray fur on their ears, nose and toes. There is still very little pigmentation in their eyes, so their eyes still appear pink with light blue irises, but their points are quite dark grey now. The ears of one of the Albino babies have lopped now too whcih is adorable. We are interested in seeing how the lopped ears of the father will be inherited by the babies. I have put some recent photos below. The silver pointed buns now look alot like their mother.
