Pee Wee is the only one that had a sealed eye, but we wetted the lid to loosed the crusty and shortly there after the eye peeked open. So officially the bunnies eyes are all open. They are mobile and crawling around. A couple are starting to get a bounce in their back end during their crawl, the beginning stages of a hop. They are curious and wander around. Jockey calls Rosie Jr. his adventure rabbit. He says he likes adventure rabbits. Pee Wee is a climb up and cuddle little guy. Darko is also a good cuddler. Many of them will come when I "call" them, if their curiousity doesn't get the better of them... or a small boy interrupt their path. Tawny liked curling up on Mike's chest in the sun after a little romp around the room. Speckles and Shooter Jr liked just being held because we visited them during nap time. The nesting box is just a bed now, because they can get in and out to explore at will. They kind of scatter when you approach the cage, but they'll eventually know visitors are good and frequent. They are getting there undercoats and are less cold outside, another reason why they aren't just laying in the nesting box in front of the lamp. Rosie Mama is very curious as to what they are doing. Although, sometimes it looks like she is looking at the little rascals with a bit of an overwhelmed look in her eye. There is a lot of movement in that area of the hutch. Rosie Mama is coming up to us each time we open the cage now, but that's because she's been conditioned to expect treats
at each visit. The bunnies are now grooming each other and taking care of each other like a little pack. They lick and pig pile for warmth. It was neat to see the instinctual nurturing and caring for one another. When they sleep, they still seek out each other, an arm or the side of something to nestle against for warmth and protection.
Here are pictures from day 14.
