All my other kits this year so far have been good sizes, its just this batch. She is still hanging in there, really spunky, actually, Jags-that is comforting to hear about your 17 gram baby !

I am feeding her kings rabbit, (good quality feed, allready posted about and approved on this forum, and the absoloute best I have available localy) and lots of timothy hay. I guess I should have explained that better, the smallest kit after teeny is 26 then there is 32, and 33 grams.
