Lo and behold, the wondrous Merry Martin
produced 2 lovely wee ones last week. Both seem black on day 4, but with her unique color, I will wait to see how the color comes in as their coats grow.
Merry had a disasterous experience with her first litter last spring due to cold. This year, she had another adventure. Two days before she kindled, she got loose and spent the day in the woods near the barns. Penny and I tracked her down and got her safely home, but I feared for her bunnies with all that commotion. I was sure she had more kits, but we are grateful for the two healthy and vigorous ones she has now, as well as her cheery self!
Will report what genders they are in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, Sydney failed to conceive this go-round, so she will be rebred today, along with Gretchen.
