Tinny and the monster

Out of this most recent litter one of the kits is tinny. He is half the size of the other kits. I didn't get attached to him- because I assumed he would not make it. Day 9 today and looks to be catching up a bit. 

7 days old


All of the kits are alive. 
I am counting 4 broken something EA , 3 fawns and 2 REWs. The silver foxes are big and healthy. 

Spring please come soon..............

I should not complain because it has been a mild spring- but this winter sucks. The rabbits aren't loving it. I am so sick of frozen water bottles.

A watched doe does not kindle

Brokenella Narscia or Moma as I often call her- had 9 kits today.  I almost missed them - she had them so far back under what looks like 2 good ounces of fibber. 

They all look pink- so am thinking I may have gotten a litter of fawns and REWs. There has to be at least one or two broken ones in there.  

I am going to give her a break after this litter. It's tempting to breed her again because she has such big healthy litters - but I don't want to breed just to breed. 

Perfect my new silver fox had 6 kits yesterday.

George


I went to my first show this weekend. It was very informative, interesting and fun.

It was amazing to see all the different breeds in person. I don't get the whole cavy thing- but I do realize that is the pot calling the kettle black. 

I entered my one buck in the show- but I knew he want going to win anything because he was so tinny.

I really would like to get the kid into 4 H - thus I bought home George. He is a very docile mini rex.

Babies aren't babies anymore

Out of 8 kits from the litter in November I have 2 bucks left. I can't believe how quick they have grown. 

I have the black buck with the white foot who I am selling as a fiber bunny and a black buck that looks to be show quality. 

If he makes weight I may take him to a show in a couple weeks.  


Hating the French

I feel in love with English Angoras the first time I saw them and then deeper when I held my first whooky of fur in my hands. 
I recently have expanded to French and satins. I am not feeling the love. 
My French are huge and kick like what I imagine an actual jack rabbit would. 
My satin has drew blood on me twice. 
So the satin is going back to his original breeder and I sold one French. 
So I have 4 EAs only.  No diversity for me.
