Yesterday our mother rabbit (a.k.a. a rabbit doe), arrived with five baby bunnies (just 7 days old! a.k.a. rabbit kits — short for kittens ).  They’ll be in the classroom for about 30 days, so the children can watch them grow!  In 30 days they’ll be quite large.

These are Harlequin rabbits — the mother is named Merry, and the father (a rabbit buck) is named Bond.   This litter was born on April 17, 2018.

Merry is about 15 inches long (longer when she stretches out), the babies are about 3 inches long.
