Sold and bred

Sold three kits today, a rescue doe, a harlequin doe and a new zealand/harlequin mix buck. Went to a lady out in Tavistock area who is wanting to start a colony of bunnies.

Then I bred Bella to Aero Bar and Nicky to Rustic.

I took pics of almost all my kits and some of my seniors, and hope to get them up on my new website tonight. I am still trying to sort out colours on two of Wendy's kits.

thanks all I got tonight. :) I'll probably post pics of kits up here tonight as well. Litter pics and all that. :)

Bunny Chat

I was disappointed this morning to see that Nicky's litter was dead, but thrilled to see Meggie's. This is unfortunately the reality in raising bunnies is that sometimes things don't work the way you want them too.

I moved some kits around to make room. Violet and Vivian live together and are getting to the age where if things are going to go poorly they will, occasionally I see tuffs of fur but for the most part they are doing well. I am hopeful to live them together for a good spell yet, but now I have a cage available should I need it.

Rustic is proving to be a total little character. He's the new buck I got from Les.

I was given a sweet little ND buck the other day. He'll be looking for a home since I simply have no need for an ND buck. Very nicely tempered. He was desperate for a nail trim so that went well.

What else??? Went over to a friends the other day and helped her with the whole breeding her bunnies thing, offered a helping hand in other ways as well. We had a nice visit.

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.

looking for a home

this girlie is looking for a new home.

A spring 2011 baby, she's a mini rex doe.

Opal in colour, I have to look up her parentage first to find out exactly who she is from. I'm guessing an AMR cinnamon cross donatello OR rockstar (thinking 'tello though).

Best offer, thinking in the range of $15.

Return and New Home

So I sold a bunch of kits last weekend. All raised the same, all acting the same, all doing well...

Had been breathing fast the day before, but otherwise seemed fine. I'm thinking it was stress of the move or something as all the others are fine but for this one, and it was exactly like the others before it went to it's new home.

Anyways, I said okay, I can replace him. These are the two boys I have coming up, though you'll have to wait for them to mature a bit.

Person didn't like either, asked if could replace with a doe, if she paid the difference in price. Said sure, why not.

THEN I got a call from a gal who bought some bunnies in the spring. Could she return them?

Uh, sure (me thinking ACK! I have NO ROOM!) but I guarantee a return place so I figured something out... some crowding will happen for a short while and some piggies will have young bunny company.

isn't he a sweet lad?

Anyways...one of them was a black otter buck...EXACTLY what the owner wanted. Took a pic... the person said WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I want him!

So...she's getting a six month old little buck who is actually of better quality than what she bought, in the colour that she really really really likes. Really tame, really social, just a nice little rabbit. I'm tempted to use him on one of my does before he goes to his new place.

Pretty cool eh?

I think it's so neat sometimes how God works things out.
