I discovered that the little baby rabbits have grown. Their fur has grown and their ears are bigger. Kirra
I discovered that the baby rabbits can't see or hear. Jake
I discovered that the rabbits are changing colours because their fur is growing. Will P
I learnt that Blue Bell puts fur on the nest to keep the babies warm. Andy
I discovered that the mother rabbit is called a doe and the baby rabbits are called kittens. Eva
I discovered that the baby rabbits have grown and they are starting to see. Oscar

  1. You have discovered so much already! You must have to feed Blue Bell a lot of food so that she can make enough milk for her kittens. Sadly, our rabbit Stu, has left our classroom and has gone to live with a new family. We will miss him, but we think he will be much happier.

    I agree they have grown heaps!
    I wish I could have one!
    When are they old enough to stop drinking milk?
    Did you know that when they drink their mothers milk it is called suckling?

  4. Hi Prep K,
    I have learned so many new things about baby rabbits. They look so soft and cuddly.
    What are some of the things you need to do each day for the rabbits?

  7. Dear Ms Tieppo
    Thank you for your comment.
    Each day we need to:
    give the kittens fresh water (Georgia)
    give them fresh food (Will P)
    give them toys to play with (Sienna)
    clean out the hutch and put in clean wood shavings (Aerodyne)
    let them out of the hutch so they can have some exercise (Oscar)
    give them LOTS of love! (Prep K)
