They are beautiful Bunnies, such a gorgeous colour. Will you keep them to breed or are you looking to rehome them?

They certainly would be sweet to have and the colour is so pretty.
I am guessing you keep them or at least the little doe.
Any word on the other two.

At the moment I have decided to keep them. So far it looks like Nibbles is a buck and Noodles is a doe, but that can change. Sexing rabbits is far more difficult than the guinea pigs. They are so adorable and I have them out every day and play with them. They love to sit on my lap and that's where they stay until I move them.
Not heard anything about the other two. They may have decided to keep them. Just have to play the waiting game and hope that they decide to let them go.
Will be having a netherland buck coming to live here in another weeks time. Someone on a Rabbit FB page had got a black buck for sale which eventually turned out to be a doe so I was offered the dad instead which is also black. Decided to have him collected by courier and originally the courier said it would be 4-6 weeks, then it changed to another 6 weeks which was too long so I contacted another courier service and she said the 11th May, which is perfect! I can't wait to put Tinkerbell with her new mate and for her to have some babies. She's already been building a nest and pulling fur, she's wanting babies.

I am glad you are keeping Nibbles and Noodles. They are so pretty and it seems they are as sweet as they are pretty.
It is hard to sex any babies, but rabbits are so tiny at birth, I can see why it is hard to sex them. You can't even tell what colour they are. Baby snakes are still hard to tell after a year.
Hamsters! Many male hamsters give birth soon after they are purchased. That is how I connected with the blog that became animal lovers forum. John's two male hamsters had babies and he was not even sure which one was the mother.
I can't wait to see the new male. Why do the couriers take so long. Are there limited numbers of people who will ship live animals?
At least if you get the dad, you know he is ready to breed right away. Tinkerbell might prefer him to a young male that she has to wait for.
She really sounds ready for motherhood.
