Removed from Front Page

5/11/2013

i had this up on my home page and have removed it as the new show season has begun.

Just back from the Rockton show. November 17, 2012
I took five rabbits, four polish, one harlequin
William did 1/4 (BOSV), 2/4. 2/4 (his competition was a delightful broken black that was very pretty)
Petey did 6/6. 5/6. 6/6 - he's quite a young senior and the others had filled out better.
QT did 2/5. 3/5. 3/5 (she had some stiff competition - the top three positions were different each time)
and no one liked Keener at all today. She got lots of good comments about her head, but her fur was absolutely horrid - splotchy and out of condition that she just wasn't in her best form.

I have just gotten back from the Dorchester Show.

Keener won best opposite polish for Show B
William won best opposite polish for Show A
and
Varia WON best polish for Show A

I'll have to update how the others did... but WOOT WOOT!!! I'm quite pleased. :)

Henna x Sprite - Nov 26 - $50 holland lop

1/2/2013

I am contemplating keeping this young rabbit. She gives me some genetic diversity in my herd which I like to maintain. She is a curious little soul and makes me smile frequently. She is also out of a line of rabbits that gives me no issues with breeding or kindling.

If someone insists on purchasing her I'll start her off with a $50 price tag as then I would need to find a replacement for her.

Rena x Sprite - Dec 21

Sprite

Sprite and Rena produced six bouncing kits at 630 a.m. it was rather cool. I got to see them as soon as they were born. :)

Rena may not be the best looking Holland Lop out there, but she's a very good solid doe and the most excellent mother. :) I would to change her head/ears a bit, but otherwise she a good doe.

Sally x Petey - Dec 20

Petey

Petey and Sally produce a singleton kit today. it's been fostered over to E. Rosie as one kit can't survive in the fall/winter.

E.Rosie x Popper, December 20, 2012

Popper

E.Rosie is a somewhat reluctant breeder but she is a very calm, shy, unflappable young doe. I find that running her with a buck for three days is the best solution for her. Popper is a sweet, quiet boy and excellent boy to put with a shy doe as he is determined but not overly pushy.

Together they produced three babies. Two brokens, one DOA peanut.

Their pups. Both female. Both doing really well.

Varia x Popper - December 10

12/10/2012

Varia wasn't due until the 12th. She decided to have babies unexpectedly today. We have three. All look to be chocolate based at this point. She had three kits.

It was actually rather cool. This morning I noted she wanted a nestbox (and since I had planned to give her one that was no biggie)...but then she was all confused about it so I gave her two so she took the straw from one and put it in the other.

Went to the house, did dishes, came back out to collect a guinea pig and said ACK!!! she's had babies and didn't pull fur! So I quickly rescued the three kits and made a nest. Pulled a kit from no-name doe to help keep them warm. Gave them some of my saved fur and life is good. Wasn't God good in his timing there? I"m just amazed at how he reminds me to just trust him.

the babies

Lost the dark one, the smaller of the two brokens isn't looking very strong this morning. They've been fostered to Scotch in order to stay good and warm.

Butterscotched x Aero Bar - Dec 9

12/9/2012

scotch gave me four kits this afternoon.
Currently they are all looking white, but colour on tricolours comes in a bit later. HOPING for tricolours, but time will tell for sure. three average sized, one smaller.
