A Special Delivery!

In the night, at 2:15 a.m., a special delivery arrived!
Miss Magnolia (Bauer's Fullhouse) kindled 3 healthy, chunky kits!

We are thankful for this special answer to prayer. She is an older gal and we knew when we got this sweetie that we may only get one or two litters out of her due to her age.  Her last litter she went late and her kits were too big and it was a difficult delivery and none of the kits survived it.  We thought we'd try one more time.
I woke up in the night and went to check on her. When I arrived in the rabbitry she was sitting in the nest box.  Within a couple minutes I saw her first kit be born!  The other two followed shortly after.  This photo was taken within minutes after their arrival. She went late again pretty much to the hour of her last delivery, yet all were born without difficulty and are alive and well!
