Boy, are we tired out. After a long day of showing, it's good to come home and relax. We probably live the closest to the show yet we were the latest to arrive! Lol. I got up at about 10 to 7 this morning and we got home around 4:00pm.
Here are my show results.
RD's Red Hot (RH) placed 1st, Dow's Zip (ZP) placed 2nd, and Peachtree's Tang (TG) placed 3rd out of only 4 oranges. MB's Tempest (TM) was placed 2nd in his class as well. As for Peachtree's Evana, she won 3 legs! Overall, we had a great time and I'm proud of my rabbits. I just wish there could have been more rabbits in each class to make it more of a competition. Anyway, congratulations to all the winners and better luck next time!
As of yesterday, Sunsation is bred to Red Hot, and Mango is bred to Tang. I'll be breeding more soon, though!

Getting Ready
So today is Friday which means the Spartanburg show is tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to showing my rabbits. :) I don't go to shows too often, unfortunately.
I'm still trying to get my does bred in time for Easter. As of yesterday, I bred Mikey to Aquene. After that was Spike to my black otter doe, Peanut Butter. This litter won't be born at my rabbitry since Peanut Butter is sold. Instead, it will be born at Son Rose Rabbitry. I will be delivering her at the Spartanburg show tomorrow pre-bred.
That's all for now. It's time to get all the rabbits ready. :) Good luck to everyone who will be at the show tomorrow!

Website changes
I thought it was time for a website remodel. Why not? After all, it's a new year and a new look on the website. :)
Feel free to take a look around the site. Nothing really "changed" except for the template and the background. Hope you like it!
Nothing is new in the nestboxes though. The Spike to Buttons breeding missed so I rebred her yesterday. I wasn't too disappointed, because that was to be expected since she is a first time mom. I hope she took this time though. I'm super excited to get some babies from Spike! He currently has about 4 does bred so far, so all we have to do now is see what happens. It's pretty funny - all of the does that are bred right now are first-timers. I'm going to really try to crack down on breeding the weekend of the Spartanburg show (which is next weekend). I'm delivering a few rabbits that will clear some babies out. Once the babies are gone, I can rebreed the mothers.
Well, it turns out that I won't be bringing in a new Siamese Sable buck. The seller couldn't find a way to get him to Spartanburg. Oh well... at least I'm still getting the 2 bucks that I'm trading next weekend. I'm really excited for those. It's always fun to bring in new bunnies. :)
That's it for this weekend. Hope you enjoy the new look on my website!

Easter breedings
Within the next few weeks, I really need to buckle down and get to breeding. The Tractor Supply in Anderson, SC is calling for 50 rabbits between now and Easter! Luckily, I'm not the only breeder participating and I don't have to come up with 50 rabbits by then. That doesn't seem possible to me... I've never had 20 rabbits for sale at once let alone 50! So like I said, I'm glad I'm not doing this by myself. :)
If I breed my does this week, their kits will be born in March and will be about 10 weeks (almost 11 wks) old by the time Easter comes around. So I've jumped ahead and started breeding since you know how unpredictable does can be - some simply do not want to be bred!
I will be bringing in a few bucks from a friend at the Spartanburg show this month. We are just going to do a swap so they won't be here to stay. I am also bringing in a buck that will be here to stay. He is a Siamese Sable buck that's about a year old so I'm hoping I can start breeding him right away. :)
Also, people have been emailing me and telling me that my website is down. Not sure why because it's coming up on my computer... I just updated it to clarify that nothing is wrong but people have still been saying it's down. Hopefully it will come back soon! Sorry about that!

Snow!?
The weather forecast says we're getting snow tonight. I really hate to be outside in the snow, but it's so beautiful to watch from inside where it's nice and warm. :) Schools are closed, too, which is a huge bonus!
Nothing much is new as you can tell because I haven't blogged lately. I've added a few junior does to the Juniors page. Only Alana and Evana so far. I have more to add which I'm hoping to do soon. Let's see.... I have 3 of Blue Moon's kits which are all does. Alana is the sable point doe and Evana is the tort doe. I still need to add the other sable point doe out of Blue Moon though. Can you believe it!? 3 does and I'm keeping all of em'! And I also have the sable point doe out of Aquene to add. Quite a few juniors that I'm anxious for. :)
That's about it for now. Keep warm in the snow tonight! 4-7 inches are expected!

Cages for sale
How cool is 1/1/11!? It will be even cooler when it's 11/11/11. Sorry I haven't blogged in a long time. December was a big month. Got the newly remodeled barn set up, went on vacation for almost a week, Christmas, and then the new year. It doesn't sound like a lot but it sure seemed like it.
I have quite a few bunnies still available. Everyone wants babies! Don't forget about the seniors that need loving homes, too! So if you're interested in any bunnies on the For Sale page or Nestbox, don't hesitate to email me. I also have a few cages that I'm going to sell. I rarely sell cages because I always need them but since we remodeled the barn, the cages listed below don't fit very well. With that being said, I'm going to buy cages that do fit and sell these. If you're interested, let me know. :)
1 - 30" x 36" Havahart cage - asking $35: I'm not certain on the measurements but they should be right. It's a real big cage. It didn't come with a pan so I'm only asking $35. I think I paid around $42.99 for it new. Overall it's in good condition. It's rusty in a few spots though. No water bottles or feeders included.
1 - 5 hole cage, about 10 feet long - $120: VERY nice cage. I purchased it from a local breeder when they sold out of rabbits. The individual hole sizes are enormous! And there's 5 holes so plenty of room for moms with big litters. Not exact on each size though. The wire is smaller so rabbits can't bite through the cage and babies can't escape. Only bad part is there are holes cut out at the opening of each cage for those big metal feeders. I don't have them so I just block the holes off. Overall excellent cage! No water bottles or feeders included.
