Another 2 came in! These are chubby but not as huge as my last post about the target kits. These two are very spicy very beepy

Nothing a few scritches behind the ears wont fix for some babies though

And minutes later our transport team brought me another 4

Mom was killed by a tractor and they were covered in ticks

This is quite funny but just in case there's any misconception: let me explain why and how im holding him

Bunnies thrash when held. But in their struggle they can literally snap their own spines so proper restraint technique is very important

So i have my index finger behind the bunny's head, to prevent sharp jerking and my middle finger around the shoulder and thus will stabilize the upper spine and neck. Then my ring finger and pinkie wrap gently around the abdomen and I use my pinky to move or manipulate the legs for tick checks or stimulating urination. My thumb is laid across the other side of the body to keep the rabbits spine against my palm, thus fully stabilizing the spine. They can move feetie around silly style which is what you see but this is the hold used to safely grasp a kit and be able to assess them! So it looks awful terrible but the kit is restrained safely. I was pulling ticks out of them and just stopped to snap a Pic since they just looked so silly
