Hand Rear Wildies

Yes I thought they would be to tame for release, I had a baby wildie that I rescued from under a live track at a childrens park and cared for him but he became to tame to put back in the wild

OMG!! They are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sold my flat last year and I remember how stressful it is, I hope you get it sold without too much hassle

Are they actually going to be released? I would have thought they'd be too tame....

Well the idea is that once they are eating solids and totally weaned off milk, they will go into an outdoor hutch and the contact will then become minimal. Now with previous hand rears this has worked a treat however they were reared from 3 weeks not a few hours. The Inspectors won't be impressed with me if they are too tame. Argh!!!! Ah well worst case scenario I guess I will just have 3 wilds. But ultimately I would like them to go back to their natural habitat. I guess it depends on how wild they turn once puberty kicks in.

There coming on so well, not long till ready to go back out in wild, I would maybe try and find a way to put them there but be able to check on them for few days to see if they will be ok.

cant belive i missed this you have done so well and omg there so cute

My day just got improved looking at those precious wildies!

They are absolutely adorable love. A lady I used to know raised a baby wild bun and she was lovely.

They are gorgeous!

I think puds is going to be someone who does amazing things for animals when he is older.

You have done an amazing job hun, I have no idea how you manage to fit it all in!

They are doing really well but still just seem to live for a bottle and a fuss. The chatter their teeth and go all silly. I am really stumped. I think that when they are fully weaned and they go outside, I will reduce contact and see what happens. I have had them sexed and I have 2 boys and a girl

Any hand rears I have done have been 2 to 3 weeks when they come in. These babies being hours old, are a totally different kettle of fish (or bunnies as the case may be).

you have done so well with them they are gorgeous
i love they way your little one is feeding them some milk

My bubbas have spent their first night outside in a big bunnies hutch. I was so worried about them. When I opened the kitchen window this morning and shouted "babies" they all came running!!!!!!!

Ahhhh!

BTW I am imagining you running out of the house at daybreak like a mad woman desperately yelling 'Babies!'

Oh bless them - hat a lovely way to start he day

They are adorable

Oh I'm so glad they're doing well!
Sorry you've lost another two, but as you said you still have three and clearly they love you!

So lovely to see a photo of Oscar! I've been wondering how you've all been getting on.
