Peanut Bunny Survive, Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Lethal Dwarf Defects Dwarf Rabbit Care

Above is the true story of a rabbit called peanut who is the mascot of sesame sprinkles.

Scottish mule. Some peanuts can live to grow fur and extremely rarely open their eyes. Peanuts will always die within a few days. In fact peanut is the main reason why this homepage came into existence.

Comparing a healthy kit to a peanut. Peanuts can be distinguished from normal kits in several ways they have bulging foreheads and eyes low set tiny ears underdeveloped hindquarters and are very small usually at least 13 smaller than their litter mates. Getting two dwarf genes is lethal.

And while their siblings double their birth weight in just a first three or four days the peanut will not grow and will not thrive. But its a slow painful death not being able to get any nutrition from their food. No its impossible for them to live.

They usually do not survive the first week as this is a birth defect. He was weaned with his siblings and resided in a small special cage. A peanut is a baby rabbit that has gotten two dwarf genes one from each parent.

As we learned later on peanut was just a small rabbit and wasnt really a peanut. It could be a peanut. If it is a netherland dwarf the peanuts usually do not survive.

Normal kit left peanut right. No special care was taken. Often a peanut bunny will be called a double dwarf due to its gene structure.

The baby affected always dies. Its kinder to put them to sleep and end their. But they will always die.

Unfortunately a peanut never survives. The little one in picture here at day 37 was born along with his siblings on june 4 2011. The double dwarf gene results in a seriously deformed baby that cannot thrive and thus has a next to nothing chance of survival past a few weeks.

If it is taking with the nursing and is surviving to the point where it is getting fur then i would have to say well done baby rabbits are extremely difficult to intervene when they arent taking to the mother or feeding. They dont have the ability to digest their food so they will starve to death. Rarely will live as long as a two of weeks and usually die within 2 3 days.

What breed of rabbit is it. Peanuts are rabbits who receive a double dose of the dwarfing gene.
