The Nursery
Welcome to the Nursery at Hot Cross Buns
This is where we share our current litters as they grow — from quiet nest-box days through the early stages of personality, curiosity, and development.
Some babies may eventually become available to approved families after evaluations begin around 5–7 weeks of age, while others may remain here at Hot Cross Buns as part of our long-term program.
At this stage, personalities are still developing and genders are not yet confirmed. We take time to carefully observe each rabbit as he or she grows before making placement decisions.
Families who are thoughtfully preparing for a future rabbit are always welcome to begin learning more about our process through the pages below.

Coreopsis x Sweet Tea
Born May 3, 2026
Status: Beginning to Venture Out of the Nest Box!
This is Coreopsis' first litter and she handled it so well. She pulled a very respectable amount of fur, made a cozy nest, and deposited four beautiful babies inside with very little fuss or muss.
UPDATE 5/11/26 - Corrie’s babies are doing very well and growing beautifully. She has settled confidently into motherhood, and the babies are developing right on schedule. This litter includes a lovely mix of opals and blues, with both broken and solid patterns represented. Their little personalities are still very much unfolding, but we’re excited to continue watching them grow in the coming weeks.
