Our bunnies are at it again. In April they had a litter of 5 bunnies. About a month later she had more. We have been looking for them for almost 2 weeks now since I discovered she was no longer pregnant. We haven't had any luck. We (Trevor) even undid 2 boards in our shed and have searched under them multiple times. I was beginning to wonder if I was wrong, but I knew I had felt a baby squirming in her belly just days before she had them. The day before she had them I picked her up and she was huge. The next day I picked her up and she was definitely not as big as she was just the day before. This morning Trevor went into the shed after she disappeared underneath it. The boards are still up so be found her in the dirt inside. She was moving dirt around. She would dig and then push it away from where she was digging. After a few minutes of this, a baby kind of got caught in her digging and came out with the dirt she was flicking behind her. I was so excited we had finally found her nest! Trevor reached into the hole and started hanging me babies. There are 6. 4 black (2 black & white mix and 2 mostly black with lighter fur on their bellies), 1 gray & white & 1 pure white. They looked like their eyes had just opened. They are so adorable! We snapped a few pictures and stuck them back in the hole so she could nurse them. This is our view when she got in the hole. 
This is her little rear sticking out. She got them all nursed and safely buried them back up. After she was done, you couldn't even tell she had dug a hole there. 
The boys were so excited and wanted to see them. We told them we aren't digging them out so they will have to wait for her to unearth them again at feeding time. They are super excited and can hardly wait to meet the new arrivals. What exactly are we going to do with all these baby bunnies?? We are still trying to figure that out! But we are having a blast with the journey!
