Nap Time

     Since their eyes opened last week, the little ones have become determined to get into a bit of trouble.  Well, the most trouble they can get into at this point is to escape from the nest and go wandering.  At this stage, there is no risk of them dying from lack of warmth as their fur has grown in quickly.  I can already tell which are going to have the longest fur. 

     Even two-week old bunnies show full-grown rabbit behavior.  Although they are still a bit shaky on their feet, they will spontaneously do a "binkie" (seriously, that's a word from respected rabbit sources.) A binkie, performed either from a standstill, a walk or run, consists of the rabbit coming off all fours and making a twist-hop in the air.  Granted, these are small binkies for small bunnies and for that reason are quite funny.  When self-grooming, kits will sometimes fall over, an act which is similarly amusing.  Unfortunately, I didn't catch them at the right time while taking this film.

     Do you blame me for neglecting the housework to watch a boxful of babies?
