Daily Hay


ok, BUNNY UPDATES LOL!

Eating lots today. Using Lukes regimen of 2 1/4 hourly feeds. Bit tough last night, even though sometimes i dont sleep I found it really hard to get up out of bed so often. thank goodness for LUke though, saying not to feed between midnight and 6 am. ( do they turn into bad guys like gremlins?) or i'd have got no sleep at all.

Theyre taking between 0.3 mls and 1.2 mls a feed, so it varies a lot. But I am getting more confident in feeding them, and theyre happier with this lol.

I know I am not going senile, i KNOW theyve grown since yesterday am! ( I measured with a piece of string today so i can check tomorrow.
Few more feeds to go before i can settle down for the night.

heres sometihng to compare them with size wise ( and yes i was super dooper quick taking these!


I am not ging crazy, I swear I am not. I am CERTAIN thier ears were NOT THAT big yesterday!

Re: Daily Hay


Fran, I dont know about having the confidend, I am petrified I am not doing things righ! theyre so tiny and defencless, it makes me anxious. Am so worried about them, but I didnt know what else to do other than to get them away from mommy quickly. I dont want to go into detial here what happened. It not the right place.
It is a matter now of hand rear them or they die!
i know they may anyway, without Luke's advice I am sure things would not be going so well
