I never expected to be helping babysit six tiny baby bunnies today whose Momma is inexplicably unable to nurse them. Apparently trying to get them nursed by a female guinea pig in the next stall were unsuccessful.
They are so cute and seemingly helpless without the fur, and yet they have the little bouncing noses and the long ears. They are still sightless so they crawl all over each other looking for warmth and nourishment. Until they are able to see they need to be fed by hand with warm water and milk every 3 hours or they won't survive.
Cristina is like Doctor Doolittle in looking after the animals at Oasis and especially with the tiny babies.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al

| The bunnies are barely 3 inches long |
 |
| Six of them huddle for security and warmth |
 |
| They already have the cute noses and the long ears |
 |
| The search for nourishment leads to some funny interaction |
 |
| Half a dozen hungry mouths to feed |
 |
| Too cute for words |
 |
| They never stray far from the pack |
 |
| It is amazing to see the development in only 2 days |
 |
| Feeding every 3 hours is necessary or they might not survive |
OK, I am adding 5 more shots taken with a close-up lens taken later this afternoon.
 |
| Trying to get more detail on the shots |
 |
| It must be hard to stumble around blind for a few days |
 |
| I wonder how long before the fur really starts to show? |
 |
| I sure hope that our efforts are rewarded with 6 healthy bunnies |
 |
| Hard to believe something so tiny can be so complex. |
