Farm Fresh: Rabbit Kits with Eye Infections

I brought the kits in every day this week to pet and wash their eyes.  With 11 bunnies in one nest box it got dirty a lot faster than the last group and many of them had nest box eye (like pink eye for rabbits).  I read about natural treatments for it and tea with honey seemed to be the most effective. I cleaned out the nest box and put them in a new one with fresh hay for a couple days. That along with the tea rinses seemed to help a lot.  Then the weather warmed up and I took the nest box out completely.  Mama Alice looked very harassed when I put the 11 kits in with her and no box.  They are all over her now and she has no peace. 

 Here is the first day -- the original nest box:

Here is the second day -- in the nest with clean fresh hay: 

     And here they are today -- day 2 with no nest box:

The eye treatment worked well -- only 2 eyes are still crusty this morning. 

 There are 3 black babies -- those are the orphans from Miss Scarlett's litter.

 They are such cute little fuzz balls. We have 4 families coming over for playdates and bunny holding this week! That will help the babies be friendly.  I will start advertising them for sale for Easter pets in a couple weeks.
