dark kit looks now possibly black otter, black fox or now due to the lighter pics a Black Sable colour we'll all see son
Light baby definatley a tan or sooty fawn now, if hes a sooty fawn he should develop darker points on the extremeities
They are looking great
Best wishes

as it doe,s have quite a few scratch marks on it
looks like they have a very good mum taking care of them. You are more likely to see marks on it due to its light colour where the other baby is dark so you cant see anything so easily. I held my babies at this age as the mum is very tame so didnt mind, and like you said the mum is fine with them after you hold them so thats great. Also the older the babies become the more the mum doesnt mind as once there out of the nest with there eyes open you should try and hold them as much a possible, lop babies are adorable as there ears dont flop instantly so they have one ear up sometimes and one down, looks so funny cant wait to see them

we got the babies out today to play and noticed that the light coloured one had a problem with it,s eye
we bathed it with salt water and it started to open but do you think we need to do anything more,as we have some eye balm here,or just keep bathing it??
the other eye is fine
and heres some of the other baby

and the colour of them are fab Fawn and Agouti lovely babies About the eye was it crusted over?so it was shut and couldnt be opened?
There are a number os things that can cause rabbits to have bad eyes, was there a white discharge running from the eye?was ir red? sorry for the Q but I would be able to narrow it down better if I knew what the symptoms were save typing out all eye conditions
Also have you checked it teeth? as these can lead to eye problems, as often if the teeth are over grown or twisted etc is the root of the problem.
Waht your doing is great i would just bath it regular with warm salt water, but if it gets no better by tomorrow I would phone your vet, as if its an eye infection which is left they sometimes have to have them removed
but hopefully it will be cleared by by tomoz as baby rabbits are not very good with antibiotics, so the vet may give you some drops Serious cute babies
