Stumbled across these when getting my baby pics for the Wee Willy Wheekers thread. These are my rabbits, well, only two are with us today, but I had a family of mum, dad and four beautiful babies which were born after some numbnuts (we think the chavvy neighbours) let boy and girl out at the same time...

Daddy (Beckham - he had a thing for footballs so really it was the most appropriate name we've ever come up with for a rabbit..)

Mummy (Mocha)

Babies at about 10 days old (Rocket, Splat on top, Panface and Pudding):

Babies at about 4/5 weeks old. The teeny one is Splat, she was the runt and abandoned by her mother. I hand reared her which is why she looks very small and scraggly.

Family picture when the babies were about 7 weeks old I think. Splat is the one next to her very scruffy looking daddy, not so runty anymore but still not as big as her siblings!:

These pictures bring back some lovely, and heartbreaking memories for me. They are the first rabbits I have proper memories of and definitely the first rabbits I remember fondly. We had rabbits before these 6 but these guys were fantastic. Beckham was the sweetest, friendliest rabbit we'd ever had. We stumbled across him in a petshop; he'd been given to them because his previous owners adopted a son who was allergic. Mocha was born to one of my friend's does and I fell in love with her, and having baby rabbits was one of the best animal experiences of my life, despite it being an accident. Pudding and Splat are the only ones we have left now, but at least when they go their family will be waiting for them at the Bridge. :)

EDIT: I just realised that these maybe should have gone in the other pets section, please move them if that's the case!
