Taylorsville

Saturday was the Taylorsville show. We decided not to show and I was pretty glad because there weren't many people showing. I got a black Himalayan doe that I named Roxy along with 11 cages! I'm so glad I finally got some extra ones. It's always good to have more than less. :)

I have some bad news, too. One of our sweetest bunnies ever, little Opaline got too scared while we were putting up cages on Saturday. :( She started jumping off the walls on her cage and got her foot caught in the wire. I'm pretty sure it's broken because it's twisted. I've never had a rabbit to do this before.... She's hopping along fine but it must hurt really badly. After Memorial Day, I think I might have to take her to the vet to put her down. :( A bummer because she was absolutely gorgeous with an excellent head and ears. She was bred (for the first time) a few days ago, too. :(

Overall, we had a good time at Taylorsville. We didn't stay long, but long enough to get an idea of how many people were at the show.

I'll keep the blog updated, because I will have a surprise to blog about tomorrow!

Quinoa's litter

WOW, can you believe it!!?? SEVEN kits!! Quinoa had 7 babies yesterday. Of course, she's big BUD but she produces enormous litters. She had 5 brokens (hoping for a broken chestnut doe) and 2 solids (maybe chestnuts or solid chinchillas). I defiantly plan to keep a lot of babies from her this time. :)

It's getting late.... well not really but school isn't over yet so I'm off to bed. By the way, Fiesta, MB's Sunkist, and Dancer are due this week so I'll keep you updated especially since school is almost out. That means I get to take pics, update the site more often, and blog all the time! Lol!

Good night. Hope to wake up with the nestboxes filled. :)

Bunny traits

I never remember to update the blog until 2-3 days after I update the website. Sorry.

I put Obese up for sale. She's a great brood doe, great pet, and maybe even a good show doe. I don't know if she would make a good show doe or not because I haven't started showing Dwarf Hotots yet. You wouldn't believe how friendly she is though. I LITERALLY have to push her out of the way in order to close her cage. No joke. That's how ridiculously friendly she is. LOL! I really hate to sell her, but I have so many ND juniors that I plan to keep so I have to sell Obese. The second reason why I have to sell her is because I'm keeping her 2 daughters, and I'm going to sell VJ soon too. That way, I won't have anything in the barn related to Obese or VJ. :)

I'm also selling Tiger Lily and Eclipse. Boy, I'm having a small herd reduction. LOL. Tiger Lily is getting older now and I need to make room for her babies to replace her. And the only reason why I'm selling Eclipse is because I need more cage space. That's basically the whole reason why I have to sell these wonderful brood does. I really hate to sell them though.... :(

That's all for now.

Juniors

I am just so pleased with my juniors. I have awful pictures on the website that don't do them justice though. Just about all of my oranges are friendly because of their dad, Zip. Every time I go in the barn, they are always at the front of the cage greeting me. :) I have to put my arm in front of the cage so they don't fall out! Sun Silk actually did fall out of the cage last week. She flopped onto the ground and sniffed around. When I put her back, she acted as if nothing happened; still begging for food. :) She didn't even try to run.

We had some thunderstorms yesterday afternoon. I cooled down to 69 degrees with a slight wind. It felt SO good! The buns enjoyed it, too. :) Now, it's back to normal. We might get some showers later this evening, but it's still humid and sticky outside.

Bunny buyers came over the weekend to pick up Jalapenos, Chipotle, and Zorro. They all went to lovable pet homes. :)

For Sale page

I updated basically everything tonight. For Sale page, Nestbox, Shows, you name it. I have lots of bunnies for sale right now. I'm having a sort of "reduction" on Sable Points. Nothing major. I just feel like I need to start over because I wasn't having any luck before. So Aquene and Akeelah are defiantly staying and that's about it. The rest are leaving. Well, I'm most likely going to keep Aquene's little Sable Point buck as my new herd buck.

News in the nestbox! Peanut Butter had her second litter yesterday; 2 stillborns and 1 live and healthy blue otter! At least I think it's a blue otter. :)

It's about 10:30 and I'm getting tired.... This week flew by. On the bright side, only 2 more weeks of school! :) I'll probably blog again tomorrow. No promises!

Crazen's litter

Crazen is having her kits! I'm SO glad she's having them now because if she had them over night, I wouldn't be able to save them. I already saved one of her kits because she had it on the wire. :( I picked it up carefully and put in Crazen's box. It was somewhat cold, but it was squirming and it also squeaked when I picked it up. That's a good sign. :) I hope she'll pull out more fur to keep it warm. Crazen is in her nestbox now, so I don't think she's finished having her kits. I don't want to disturb her while she's giving birth, so I'll keep you posted when she's done.

Recent News

Well, here I am... I almost forgot to update the blog again but luckily I remembered after making a promise last night! It seems like it has been 3 weeks since I last blogged but it was only 4 days ago. I have a lot to catch up on. :)

Bunnies are selling like crazy! Little Gatorade went today. Gatorade is perfectly healthy and was coming along great, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to let him go a week early (just for once) since the family couldn't wait! He went to a pet home with 3 young children. I know he will be loved and pampered all the time. :)

Peanut Butter is already pulling fur. I guess she's really excited. She's not due until next Wednesday! LOL.

I think Barely Tri's kit is a little buck. I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I couldn't sex him as easily as others. We think Aquene has a Sable Point buck and a Tort buck. Not sure what the REW is yet. I really, really hope I'm wrong, because I want a Sable Point doe! :)

I'm going to slow down on breeding since it's getting hotter. I don't like to breed as much in the summer because it's just too hot for the pregnant and/or nursing does. I may breed a few here and there but, for the most part, it won't be many.

I plan to breed Caramel to Fanta, Heartfelt Sunkist to Fanta, and Opaline to Tempest towards the end of this month. I may breed an experienced doe along with them, but I'll have to wait and see who will be ready to breed again by then.

Have a good weekend!

Sorry!

So sorry! I've been updating the website with pictures, for sale bunnies, and kits that were born recently but I keep forgetting to update the blog. It's getting late and I'm getting really tired; the week isn't over yet, so I promise to update the blog tomorrow night. Remember: the clock is about 4 hours behind from when I actually published the blog so it's really about 10:00 PM not after 6:00! LOL

Until tomorrow, stay cool.

Finally!

I finally took pictures! Unfortunately, I only had time to add Eclipse's kits onto the Juniors and For Sale pages. Oh well. I figured I'd just update the blog that way everyone would know what's going on and why the website is a big mess.

After the Fox has 2 bucks! I was really bummed because I thought for sure she had a doe. :( Her name is now Gatorade since she's a buck. Gatorade is for sale and Minute Maid is on hold.

Ebony had 3 kits this morning! 2 brokens and one solid. Don't have a clue what colors they'll be. ?

That's all for now. It takes awhile to upload the pics onto the site, so who knows when it will finally be finished.

New month, new kits

I can't believe it's already May. I woke up early this morning and started cleaning the barn. Overall, we're done but I want to move some bunnies around. Since it's almost summer, I want all my does in a cool area. So, all my pregnant does, nursing does, and soon-to-be-bred does are in the middle of the barn where a cool breeze flows through.

Speaking of nursing does, Tiger Lilly and Misty Morning had their kits. Tiger Lilly had 4 kits yesterday morning, and Misty Morning had 4 kits last night! Ebony is due tonight. Can't wait! She made a HUGE nest this afternoon so I know she's ready. :)

I'll update again later if I have more kits. :)
