We finally did it...Emily and I finally remembered to get some pictures of the baby bunnies for y'all. I know I've been saying that I was going to do it for ages, but for some reason it never happened.
They are around three weeks old now and are almost always madly hopping around the pen, usually chasing after their annoyed mother. :D So far it's been a very healthy litter with no problems whatsoever. Oh, and apparently Emily and I mis-counted, there are actually only eight bunnies; we thought there were nine.
I know, I know, another lousy picture. Sorry! These little guys are hard to get pictures of because they move so quickly.
So, if anybody out there wants a good sized meat rabbit, ours will be ready to go in roughly five more weeks. :D

Hi Caity! Those bunnies are adorable! :D
:P My mom wants to know something. In five weeks, how many pounds will they be, and how much will you sell them for?

Hey there Krista!
The bunnies will be 5-6 lbs. live weight in five weeks, dressing out to 2-4 lbs. of pearly white meat.
Emily and I are selling them live for $10 each; we haven't really thought about selling them dressed.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Caity. My mom will probably want to buy one when they're ready to sell, but I'll let you know for sure.
