Welcome to the Nest box!
This page is dedicated to all of my litters as they are born and grow. I try to post pictures regularly so you can follow along with their development. It is truly amazing to watch them grow. They are born roughly the length of your pinky finger and reach about a pound by just eight weeks old!
Baby rabbits are born hairless and with their eyes closed. They depend entirely on the warm nest their mother builds using fur from her belly and soft hay to keep them cozy. Around two weeks of age, their eyes open and a soft coating of fur covers their bodies.
From two to about four weeks old, they enter the excitable, wiggly stage. This is when they begin to explore and play. You do have to be careful during this time, they don’t yet have depth perception and will happily run right off the edge of a table!
By five to six weeks, their individual personalities really begin to shine. They become more interested in interacting with people and engaging with their surroundings. Around five weeks old, they typically begin eating pellets and hay, and by eight weeks they are fully independent from their mother.
More litters due soon! Updated: 7/31/2026
DOB: 6/7/2026
Parents: LiveLaughLops Churro (Tort) and LiveLaughLops Eeyore (Lilac)
Churro is a first time mom and so far doing great! She had a bit of difficulty with the birth and had two doa's, but happy to report that she also has two live kits! Kinda sad they are harlequins- but it shows how prevalent that gene can be even multiple generations back. These will likely be pet quality, where mom is a tort they will likely be torted harlequins which isn't desirable in tricolor lines.

Biscuit had a little difficulty with her litter and two of the babies weren't born in the nest box. Luckily I found them and was able to warm them up and now they are doing great! Dad's genes are very dominant in this litter- 2 blues and a broken blue.

Blue Buck
8 weeks old August 20th 2026
DOB: 6/24/2026
Parents: LiveLaughLops Lupine (Broken Tort) and LiveLaughLops Tobey (Lilac)
Lupine is frustrating me! This pretty doe had a perfect litter in the fall and was a great mom. Now two times she has had babies but doesn't seem to want to care for them. This baby is being fostered to Shadow because I didn't want to chance loosing it. Not sure what is going on. I will try some mineral supplements, vitamin A and E, and apple cider vinegar to see if its a balance thing. So strange, hopefully I can figure out what is up with her!
Broken Lilac Doe- I am keeping her at this time!
DOB: 7/10/2026

Five beautiful babies! All warm and wiggly. Make that six!

Parents: LiveLaughLops Mal (Broken Chinchilla) and LiveLaughLops Tigger (Harlequin)
Three little babies, two might be peanuts but time will tell. Sadly two were peanuts and didn't make it. This little third baby is a cutie though! A litte broken black.

Parents: LiveLaughLops Poppy (Broken Chocolate Tort) and LiveLaughLops Miles (Tricolor)
One beautiful kit! Looks like a chocolate tort.
DOB: 7/26/2026
Parents: LiveLaughLops Rosemary (Broken Blue) and LiveLaughLops Miles (Tricolor)
Rosemary is my son- Joeys- bunny. He was so excited to breed her and wanted Miles. I wasn't so sure about the pairing but looks like he chose well. I can't wait to see what these two babies wind up being for color.
DOB: 7/31/2026
Parents: LiveLaughLops Penelope (Harlequin) and Kozy Lane's Dawn (Tri Color)
I am really excited about this litter! I purchased Dawn (Aka Donny) this spring and this is the first litter he sired here. He has an amazing crown and compact body. I am hoping her brings in some new genetics and even better type!
More babies due soon!
