Tabitha & Little Boy Blue  - 2 healthy kits and 2 peanuts :(
Born on November 11, 2019

Tabitha has been very devoted to her babies.  Although the little peanuts are growing weaker, the healthy babies are doing great and have chubby bellies.  One baby looks like it will be a sable frosty (not certain about broken or solid yet), and the other is a broken of yet undetermined color. 

We will post photos of these wee ones on Saturday.

Molly & Albert's Babies - 4 kits
Born on November 10, 2019

Molly kindled mid-morning in a wonderfully fur-lined nest.  She has been very attentive and is feeding them well.  Color-wise I am now guessing a chestnut and a broken chestnut, and possibly an opal and broken opal.  I don't see the tell-tale fawn patch at the backs of their necks yet, so am reserving judgement.  All of the babies appear to be in the agouti family for coloring, so that narrows down the possibilities considerably.  :) 

Cake Pop & Albert's Baby
Born on September 30, 2019

Cake Pop kindled her single baby a few days ago, but we waited to announce it because she lost her last living litter by not nursing her babies.  This wee one seems to be thriving, so we are hoping for the best.  It's already growing the glossy black coat we adore!

10/19/19  Cake Pop's baby is adorable and very cuddly.  We are patiently waiting to see how this beautiful Bun grows out.  Both of his/her parents have wonderful temperaments, and we have a good feeling this little muffin is going to follow in their paw prints. 

10/31/19  This wee one has earned the name "Cupcake" for being such a delicious bundle of sweetness. 

11/10/19 Cupcake is a little doe and we have decided to keep her because Plum Bun will be retiring soon and we can't imagine HCB without a gorgeous black doe being among our lovely ladies. 

Mrs. Lynde & Mayhem's Babies - 3 kits
Born on September 29, 2019

Mrs. Lynde kindled successfully in the morning and has what appear to be three Blue Eyed White (BEW) babies and a VM baby who is has adorable markings like his/her sire.  This is our first litter of BEW babies, so we are very excited that they have arrived safely and appear to be doing well. 

10/2/19...One of the BEW babies wandered away from its litter mates and died.  :(  The other babies look fine. 

10/19/19 These little sweeties are quite fun to observe and love on.  We are working on names for them and are learning to differentiate between the two BEWs.  Note to self: do not take photos of white Buns on a white backdrop.  

10/31/19...Mrs. Lynde's babies have been given their HCB names.  The Vienna baby is Gelato, while the BEW babies are FroYo and Milkshake.

11/10/19...Gelato (black VM) is a doe, while FroYo and Milkshake (the BEWs) are both little bucks.  All will be available. 

Tootsie & Little Boy Blue's Babies - 2 kits
Born on September 16, 2019

Tootsie and Little Boy Blue have another delightful litter of babies for us to love and enjoy.  One Bun is very tiny when compared to its litter mates, and we honestly aren't certain if it will make it or not.  The other four babies look wonderful and strong.  At this point, it looks like there are two sable points and three possible blue/blue points in the litter.  

9/23/2019 Tootsie's kits are growing and changing daily.  The tiny runt seems to be holding its own and looks like a bit of a misfit when compared to its much larger litter mates.  Tootsie is insistent on keeping them buried in a very fluffy mountain of her warm, soft fur, but the babies are getting too warm and keep migrating to cooler places in the nest box.  I ended up removing all of the fur except a small handful, in an effort to keep the babies closer together, so they would all be together at feeding time.  Some of them appear to have missed a meal, due to being nestled in secluded corners of the nest box when the "food truck" arrived with their dinners. 

9/25/19  The little runt didn't make it.  :(

9/29/19  These little Buns have surprised us with some major color variations over the past few days.  Other than the one obvious sable point, I think there may be a blue point or smoke pearl , a blue tort, and Siamese Sable, but I'm certain I will be wrong on half of them as these are colors with which I do not have much familiarity.  Their eyes are beginning to open.  Stay tuned!  

10/10/19  I have some sorrowful news to share about Tootsie's litter.  I'm not certain if there was something in the hay or if something else went wrong, but the darker brown bunny died suddenly a couple days ago and the sable point looked to be on the verge of death.  It seemed to be in some type of coma.  The smallest smoke pearl baby has been struggling, too.  The blue baby came through unscathed/unaffected by whatever happened. 

The sable point has made a remarkable recovery and is doing well once again, while the smoke pearl baby is still touch and go.  It lost a great deal of weight and is struggling to regain lost ground.  We are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst where that little one is concerned.  It is receiving supplemental feedings every four hours, so we hope to report some true progress very soon.

10/11 New pictures of two of the three remaining babies.  The sable point and blue point are doing really well.  Ears are lopping and curiosity is blooming.  The tiny smoke pearl  (you can see a little bit of its fur in the last photo posted today) is able to take twice as much formula today as it did yesterday, so appetite is returning.  I'm still not certain if it will survive, but it has a strong will to live and such a sweet nature that we are going to continue showering it with love, warmth, and formula.  :)

10/19  The smoke pearl is not doing well and has been losing weight in spite of the four feedings we have been giving him every day.  :(  The sable point baby looks like a little doe, and is being called Apple Crisp.  We can't tell the gender of the little blue yet, but it's a sweet little Bun, too, and has been named Cheesecake.

10/20  The tiny smoke pearl baby died this morning.  There were a lot of tears shed over little Kiwi, as we called him.
