All right guys, I was just feeding treats to all the bunnies and I was checking up on all of them
And I come over here to miss Sonia and can you guys see there are two
baby bunnies
I cannot believe this
So I just loaded up the entire litter box with a whole bunch of hay and Sonia knows what she's doing right now
She is preparing to make a nest for them and is probably going to put all the hay right there
I I cannot believe this you guys I cannot believe i'm witnessing this right now
I came in here this morning to give all the bunnies their pellets
Obviously, there was no babies went to work came home and lo and behold. We've got babies. This is
Insane you guys I saw the fur first and I was like, oh my god
That is that's the sign right there literally for the last like two days
Sonia has been flipping over that house to be like that and I kept wondering why she wanted it that way
And now I have the perfect explanation as to why because she was preparing for her babies
You guys can see she knows what she's doing right now
She's collecting all of the hay and we'll be moving it over there now
She did give birth to one of the babies that's on the outside right there. I don't want to touch it right now
I want to see if she knows what to do in regards to like moving that baby again
This is my first time ever dealing with a birth with any of my animals
So i've been trying to look it up. So it just said to let mom just do her thing and she'll figure it out
So that's what i'm gonna do. It's very warm in this room
I have actual blankets and stuff like that and beds that i'm gonna put like around here
So it's a lot more cozy and warm
I'm, not shocked by any means because I knew with them being with males. There was a possibility of them being pregnant
I just didn't think it was going to happen this soon
I thought I was gonna need at least like a week or two to tell they were getting bigger
I'm gonna leave the babies be and miss sonia to do her thing. Uh, I guess i'll check in with you guys later
Okay, guys, it's now been about 15 minutes and she has given birth to two more babies
There's a total of four. I have to tell you guys that one of them definitely did not make it
It is not moving. It's that one right on top of there. The other three are in there
I know it's pretty common with rabbits that you know, not all the babies are going to make it
You know, we're definitely dealing with that case, which is very unfortunate
But it is nice to see that she does have three healthy moving ones underneath the blanket
I did give her a pig mat and she actually dragged it right in there to keep them warm
It seems like she's wanting to literally take the fleece bedding and put it over there
She will have to get more veggies and more hay and alfalfa pellets and all that kind of stuff
All right, guys, so I just left peco. I hate going there and buying anything
But I was in a pinch and I ended up picking up two bags of alfalfa hay
Because she is or was pregnant and is a mom and now has babies. She needs to be loaded up on calcium
So that should take care of that. I'm also gonna go to the grocery store and pick up more veggies
I knew that there was gonna be potential for rabbits
Of course, obviously given their situation it was honestly bound to happen. I just didn't think so soon
I really did not I thought it was gonna be at least maybe like two weeks to like
See that like the rabbit was pregnant and that it was coming
I didn't know that sonia was gonna pop like today crazy
Ashley who helped me with the rescue put me in contact with one of her friends who deals with this kind of stuff
So she's gonna call me and just guide me through this whole process
So it's the next morning and everyone is doing well
I just went ahead and fed them their pellets a little bit ago re-topped up their water their hay everything
Here's our mama right here. She's doing so good
The babies are all cozy right in there
I am going to leave them be for the day
And then end up checking them a little bit later after I get home from work
I am actually going to meet with a rescue who's actually giving me some supplies
Um, just in case I do have to you know
Manually feed all the babies in case miss mom is not doing it. It is a very tedious process to do
It's very difficult also a little bit dangerous because they can aspirate so you have to be very you know
Very careful. This could be her first litter that we know of so, you know, this is an adjustment for her
So i'm sure that she's just as confused as I am and with what to do
But I will be sure to take care of these babies as much as I possibly can
I actually forgot to tell you guys but when I was running out to get some supplies I came back home
I was checking on all the buns and then I was looking here in vinny's pen and there was a baby
Right here. So she actually gave birth while I was out
And the baby I guess she gave birth right here and it crawled all the way over to here
Thankfully vinny did not hurt it. It was completely fine
It was cleaned off and it was obviously healthy looking so I went ahead and moved it
You know with its siblings so it's back over there. So we do now have a total of four babies
We did have five but obviously one didn't make it so
I felt like if one didn't make it we were blessed with another one. I'm gonna actually top up her
egg with some more alfalfa because she does need
Lots of calcium for her and the babies and to make sure that she's producing
super good nutritious milk for her babies
I just wanted to show you guys this is what the rescue gave to me. This is goat's milk kmr kitten milk replacement
Um, I didn't realize but this actually only lasts for three days in the fridge. So that's not great
I'll be up to find where else I can get this probably from amazon or something
So i'm definitely going to pick up more of this. But yeah, this is what they're going to be eating
This is the syringe that the rescue gave to me and they also had these
Nipple coverings right here. So it just kind of emulates the mom's nipples for them to suck on
So this is a much easier like route to go than compared to just like a normal syringe because the actual base of it
Like the end is way too thick for their little mouths
I also ordered like droppers off amazon because I thought that might be easier to dispense the milk
Because these things don't really glide that smoothly when you're like squeezing this too much of it can come out at once
Here's the babies all huddled away nice and warm. They're so freaking cute the ones right over here
Um, so yeah, i'm just gonna grab the two that are looking a little hungry and uh work on them
It's very hard to feed them
It's not easy whatsoever
but i'm doing everything that I possibly can to make sure that these babies are fed because
Mom is not doing a really great job right now
So grandpa has to step in here and help my babies out
So the best way to tell if they are being fed is if they have a very round stomach and as you guys could probably see
It's so hard to handle them. Not very round. It just looks
kind of
Skinny and scrawny also a good way to tell is if like the skin is folding and creasing a lot
That means that the belly is empty
This one definitely needs to be fed and also don't mind all this hair. It literally gets everywhere
So i'm just gonna put that back into their nest. They're like little raw chicken nuggets
They're so cute though, and they're also very active which is good to see obviously what i'm first gonna do quickly wrap the baby
In some paper towel, I actually grab this wet
warm
Little cotton round and actually just wipe
the private parts
So this is what the mom does when she is like wanting to tell the babies that it's you know time to feed but also time
To defecate so they'll actually pee sometimes once you do this and it's super important that they do pee
So that's why this step is vital. I'm just rubbing this little warm
compress
Right along the private parts and just yeah, it kind of turned a little bit yellow, which is good
All right
So now that I did that i'm just gonna go ahead and grab my syringe
Super important that when you are feeding the baby bunnies that they're upright in this position so they don't aspirate. Uh, they do
Naturally like feed on the mom and drink their milk upside down in that case
It's obviously fine because it's just naturally happening
But in this case where I have to step in you want to make sure that the rabbit is in the upright position
Again, so the food doesn't go into their lungs and then, you know accidentally kill them look at that little face
I never thought that I would be
having
A small little baby bunny in my hands
so it's gonna be kind of hard to show you guys but i'm gonna try my absolute hardest and what i'm gonna do is just
slowly put that
Syringe right in there
You kind of want to do it right into like the sides of the mouth
I find that tends to be the easiest route to go and then you can kind of just slowly put it in there
Um now obviously it's going to be you know a little bit messy with having some of the milk, you know
Come out on your hands, but that's totally fine
As long as they're just getting some in there through time and then you know
The next couple days of them having to be fed by me, um, they should pick up on you know
What it's doing to them and how delicious it is to them
So they will want to feed more willingly because they're kind of fighters
They really are like they're kind of wanting to fight me on not wanting to eat but that's to be expected
They're so small and they're blind and they're deaf as well. So they don't really realize what's going on right now
Guinea pig babies
It's so much easier because literally from the moment that they come out of the womb within the first couple seconds
They know what to do. They know how to eat and pee and poop and all that kind of stuff
these boogers are a little bit harder, so
It's definitely a
A learning curve for me. It's so hard to show you guys. I'm, so sorry
this is like awful footage, but you just want to put it on the side of the mouth and then
Squirt just like a little little bit
Right into there and then hopefully you uh
Have some success with getting in some food into them. Look at that sweet adorable face
Oh my goodness
You're so innocent you were out on the streets. You would have never ever made it buddy
I have another update for you. This one is getting ready for birth. She is pulling out her fur. She is digging
She's trying to make a burrow back there. We have more babies on the way
I wish this wasn't happening right now
But I have to do what I need to do
To prepare for these babies and give her a whole bunch of hay so she can make a little box for them
Oh my god
Miss tinsley, you're pregnant, aren't you? I know you are you're getting ready for your babies
It's just a whole baby pregnancy vlog. This is crazy. All right
Well, let's just uh do what we gotta do
All right
So I just went ahead and got a litter box and put one of the pig beds inside of it. It fit literally
Perfect as you guys can see and she's already
Digging inside of it making herself at home because rabbits do like to have a nice secluded and safe area to give birth
I just went ahead and draped over some u-haul and attached it with some binder clips
So i'm thinking that that's exactly the place where she's going to give birth. I did remove her
Castle the wooden castle out of there because I don't want her to be under the impression that it's okay to give birth
Inside of there so for her to relax. She'll just stay right here and just lay down
You already do see some fur right there. So she is getting ready
Which is just crazy to see
Oh my god you guys less than 10 minutes after talking with you
Do we have babies?
Sweetie you have your babies. Oh my goodness. There's three
Oh, oh there's four there's four babies
Oh
my goodness gracious
Honey, you did so good
Look at your babies. Oh my god, you guys this is insane
I did not think it was going to happen this fast you guys
I literally thought it was going to be like in the middle of the night
I was going to wake up to babies the fact that it happened this soon is just crazy
I will also clean out that bed and just replace it with a new one because it is obviously filled with blood
Um, but I do have plenty of pig beds so this worked out perfectly we got two moms
And hopefully no more. I don't want to see any more fur
from any of y'all
You hear me?
Oh
Babies, welcome to the world. I don't even know how many there are of you. There's four. Is there four?
You're being such a good mother
Oh barnville crazy looking
But yeah, we've got four
Four healthy looking babies i'm so happy look at her just looking at them. She's such a good mom
Alrighty guys, so we just finished reorganizing the room and it looks so much better
Ashley and ava were such a huge help to get this done. Everyone is currently in their surgeries for their neuters and spays
So we will get them soon in the next couple hours, but they will be coming home to nice fresh clean cages
Which i'm so happy about obviously our two moms could not be going under surgery because they have their babies to feed
So yeah
Now we finally have room to actually access all the cages all the doors are at the front
So it'll be much easier to actually take care of the bunnies
We also have the windows open and letting in some nice fresh air. This room is just like wow i'm blown away right now
So everyone is home and safe after their surgeries it went so well as you can see
Vinny is very active right now. He's actually acting like his normal self, which is really awesome
The girls are a bit timid and scared and not really moving around a lot
But that is to be expected after a big surgery day
Now we did get confirmation if any of the remaining three girls were pregnant bethany
Not pregnant, but she actually was lactating
So there was a possibility that right before we rescued her. She had actually given birth somewhere
We obviously didn't find the babies
But there could have potentially been babies that she did birth and that would explain the lactating and then ramona over here
Who's on top of the castle?
She was not pregnant, which is really good
I'm, honestly surprised by that because I did expect all the females to be pregnant
So again confirmation that she was not pregnant
She was possibly maybe pregnant. Um, but we don't know for sure now for louanne who was currently in her house hiding away
She was pregnant she was not very far along, but there were babies in there
We didn't find out how many there were but she was pregnant. So because of this spay
It did cause these babies to be aborted. This is for the benefit of just the crisis that we're in in general
So unfortunately the babies did not make it again and we do have eight we have four with sonia
And four with tinsley over here. So we did welcome eight beautiful babies into the world
But unfortunately, we did have to say goodbye to a couple others louanne
She'll make a full recovery and she's just fine
So do not worry about that
But I am just going to leave these bunnies be because I do not want to disturb them. They've had such a long day
I'm, actually going to turn off these lights
I have some very relaxing music playing right now for them and just a nice cozy lamp on
So again, just going to leave them be and i'll check up on them in a couple hours
I did get medication which will start tonight as well as well as feed the babies right over there
You guys so I just wanted to give you guys a quick look at all the babies here they are right here
They're all doing very very well
As you can see they are mixed up as I told you before I ended up putting them all together because
The little pink babies little raw chicken nuggets. They were not being fed by their mother sonia
She wasn't doing a great job. Um, so this could have been her first litter
She really is just confused on what to do
But tinsley was definitely doing a good job with feeding her babies
So I decided you know what? Let me try it out
Let me try to have her be a foster mom to these little boogers
And it definitely worked out last night. She um, she went on top of them
And they were suckling down. So that was really great to see they do still look a little bit skinny
So I probably am going to do another feeding with them. Um, just because you know, they do need to look a little plumper
These ones are bigger
Um and a little bit more plump than the pink ones. This has got to be my favorite one
This is an all gray one. Absolutely adorable. I am so happy that everyone is still alive in here because
It is very possible for you know, baby rabbits to not make it
Quite often just because of how small they are if mom's not taking good care of them
There's just not really high chances for them to survive, but it's good to see that everyone's still kicking
So
Please ignore the sound of my
Washer going right now if you guys can hear it, but I just went ahead and actually diy'd a little
I guess new nesting area for tinsley and the babies
I felt like the one that they're currently in with all eight babies is a little bit too small
So I just cut up like the two sides of this box that came in
Um for my guinea pig pellets and I kept those two sides just to keep them a little bit higher
So it's the back wall and the side wall
So she'll have some privacy from the other rabbits bath mat on the bottom for extra cushion and then put this little like
Dog bed that used to be milo's but is now going to be for them. I just put it in there
So it's nice and cushiony and soft and warm
So I think this will be much better tinsley can actually jump in here
All the babies will just be cuddled right here with their fur. So I think this is going to be a lot better
Hopefully it fits. I haven't checked yet, but I think it should
You
