First time for this

I was checking Meggie's kits this morning and as I was counting to make sure all eight were still there and that they were well fed, I noticed that two kits were joined together and I said HEY.. something is not right here.

I found a placenta and umbilical cord joining two kits together.

So I cut off the placenta and cord so that both kits would move freely.

Hopefully there will be no adverse affects to this.

Meggie - Kindles, March 11, 2012

Two days late Miss Meggie kindled, a solo kit.  Whitish in colour, mostly but not completely furred.

Singleton kits + cold weather = kit that struggles to live.  So this kit was immediately fostered over to Dusty and Biscuits fostered kit was returned to momma.

 Aero Bar is dad
Meggie is mom.

Meggie will be immediately rebred since pregnancy is not hard on rabbits.

Rambling on a bit

So tonight I had a couple people in who wanted to buy a bunny.   A gal came with a friend.   I thought she was coming for one, but she came for two.

She had a bunny that died recently from ovarian cancer.    I learned that this rabbit had been spayed, but it still got ovarian cancer.   It seems there are a couple of ways to do surgery... one that is risky but more complete, and one that is less risky but leaves a wee bit of tissue behind.  THAT tissue can get hormonal and grow into cancer.   Weird huh?

So sad for the gal though as she'd gotten her spayed in order to avoid some of that rotten disease.

Anyways it was kinda cute.


I had the four young boy bunnies out on the floor.   Guarding them from the cats.  



This young fellow was being a real charmer. He kept hopping up into the lap of the young man.  He was so into him, it was really fun to see.  BUT that young charmer didn't go home with them.   He reminded the gal too much of the doe that she lost.  As well as the face that the gal really liked the look of the broken black boy, and then the broken orange was such a laid back baby that it ended up going along with.  Two brothers, but quite different in their personalities.

 This lad a quite laid back kit for the most part.
This lad into EVERYTHING in life.  Busy busy busy.

Anyways, it's always nice letting bunnies go into homes that are experienced with raising rabbits.  And being able to chat bunnies with people.  Always a good thing.

Meggie - December 7, 2011, kindles

Miss Meggie kindled last night.

NINE kits. I would not have suspected this small doe had nine in her.
Three were unfortunately dead, but we have six thriving youngsters.

They look to be magpie or harlequin in colouring which is way cool.

Aero Bar is the daddy.
