Nala gave birth!

Earlier today, Nala gave birth to five babies! I do not have any pictures of them because of a couple different reasons. Unlike chinchillas, rabbits aren't precocial; their babies come out furless, with their eyes closed and they're tiny. Also, rabbits are more sensitive to the way their babies smell. If the babies smell different from the mom, she might ignore them or even kill them. Because of this, we won't be getting them out much for a while. However, we were able to see them enough to count them and find that one of the babies didn't make it. The other four are doing well though. Besides the dead bunny, everyone is doing fine.
