Hoppity Happenings

Spring has sprung! well sort of......Well we've had several does kindle in the last couple of months. Our breedings have all been successful but our kindling has been less desirable:

Durham's Dr. Pepper is doing a wonderful job raising 5 bunnies that were born Feb. 10th, 3 or 4 of which will be available for sale in about 6 weeks. She has 2 black, 1 seal, 1 chestnut and 1 siamese sable (keeping).

HE-HA's Jacquilyn had a litter of 4, one of which has died, but she is also being a good mommy. She has 1 black, one that I think is a sable point (keeping) and 1 chin. One or two will be available in about 11 weeks.

And Lacey, our Lionhead kindled 4, lost one and defends them agressively. She raises some beautiful, strong healthy babies every time. 1 REW and I'm not sure about the other colors at this time. All 3 are double maned and I'm hoping for at least one to be a nice doe.

Durham's Cinnamon has lost another litter of 4. They were all born dead and since I love her dearly (she's such a talker) I have decided to try one more time with her. She is bred to Durham's Remus for an April litter and I'm hoping that since he is smaller than Hughe's Nutmeg that she will be successful. She wants to be a mommy so bad and after every litter she is gets so sad. This will be the last time I try so I just pray that it all turns out good.

Hitchner's Buttercup after 2 unsuccessful breedings finally kindled one huge black kit. She loved it and took good care of it for 2 days and then one morning we got up and it had died. We had brought her into the house with it so that it would stay warm but it evidently wasn't enough so she is bred to MT Benz to try for an April litter.

Bunny PicturesToday I found out just how time consuming it is to try to get good pictures for the website. I think I must have taken 100 pictures but only managed to get about 10 half way decent ones. The upside to that is getting to snuggle and play with the bunnies. And then of course, the camera battery died and needed recharging so needless to say, I only got a few pics uploaded. Tomorrow is another day though. Still waiting for Mercedes to kindle. She is due today! It doesn't look like Buttercup is pregnant, she hasn't started nesting yet but we'll give her a few more days.
New Webpage.Ok, so today I finally decided to get busy and build this website. I've been meaning to for a while. Now I just need to get pictures of all the rabbits and get them posted.

I'm very excited about raising these rabbits although at the moment, I only own one Netherland doe. The Rexes all belong to Jesse and Amber, lol. I expect that out of the first few litters though, that I'll get a couple for my very own. Its funny though, it seems like I spend more time feeding and getting to know the rabbits than the kids do.

Well, its time to go feed so I'll call it good for tonight.
