Sapphire's kits are officially ten days old. They're trying to escape the nesting box. They already look like little rabbits. I had to put a board across the opening of the nesting box to keep them in to protect them. Otherwise, their tiny feet could become caught in the tinier wire of the hutch. They'd also get sore, since they have very little fur on the bottoms, yet. The official count is seven. Three black, two gray and two white.

We are now taking orders for meat rabbits, although we don't yet know the sexes. We officially sex and separate the rabbits when they are at least six weeks old to maximize accuracy

Then check out this link, although I'm warning you, it's pretty gruesome, even for me!
