My long term goal has always been tricolour holland lop in chocolate so hopefully..... But it's a mixed thing right? I don't want to breed in reluctance to my herd, but I want the chocolate tris... hopefully Spider's genetics overcome AJ's.
Four kits born to this first time momma. They've been a long time coming as she was a fairly reluctant breeder.... to the point of needing to be held and positioned. Took a while to get that part figured. My long term goal has always been tricolour holland lop in chocolate so hopefully..... But it's a mixed thing right?

So once or twice a year i give my storage part of the rabbitry a thorough cleaning. I take it all out, move things around, and try to fit everything in as well as I can. A couple of years ago a friend gave me some carriers she was no longer using. I decided I didn't need to keep them as I wasn't using them either! Contacting her let me know that sending them off to a cat rescue was fine with her so off they went! I had a couple of tops from litter boxes that stray cats have used off and on over the past few winters. I don't want to encourage them to stick around so decided I'd let them go to the rescue as well. I don't need cats around that will fight with, or pick on, my own cats. It is SO nice not to have the stuff clogging up my rabbitry any more! And stray cats.. GO HOME. Do your mousing and what not, but please, don't make my backyard your home!
Originally his people were only going to pick up Male 1 but for some reason I brought all three boys over. Dad really liked Male #3 the most, so his daughter sweet-talked her hubby in letting her bring both of them home. :)
Male 1 is a small boy, quiet and seemingly to be more like his dad. He is definitely more curious than dad was at this age, but is still a quieter lad. I think this is Murphy. Male 3 has more of his momma's personality and should be small force to be reckoned with. I think this is Barfi. Barfi (burr-fe) is the name of a little white Pakistani Dessert. BUT bunnies are funny and sometimes a move to a new home changes how they behave. It's so odd that way! :) Mom is Morsel, Dad is Party, they are part of a litter of four, they are tricolours and their breed is Holland Lop. Birthdate is May 8, 2022. Pics from their new homes Living a life in Milverton, Cherry's girls are going to be part of a home breeding program. Nice youngsters.
They took along a rescue male as well. Three kits born to this duo. Unfortunately one passed away. The other two I am hazarding a guess will be lilac or amber. :) Watch me GrowLittle Miss Brownie Marie (I think I Have the second name correct) found herself into a new home today.
This tidy little package is the product of Emma and Noah. She was born on April 6, 2022. Part of a litter of four containing a lilac, amber, a poor chocolate otter, and a perfect chocolate otter. Miss Brownie might not be a great example of a chocolate otter but she is a sweetheart and should make her new owner a great pet. I thought for sure that Wanda would have about five kits as she was lugging around a bit of pot belly. But now she's all slim and sleek with only a couple of kits! She's a first time momma and did and excellent job of building a summer nest for her kits. Watch Me Grow I rarely name the bunnies that I am not keeping but occasionally a bunny finds himself a name with me. Tat is one such bunny. Such a funny little corker.
Today Tat headed off with a young man to a new home I think he said in Seaforth. Tat was born on April 6, 2022. Part of a litter of four containing a lilac, amber, a poor chocoate otter, and a perfect chocolate otter. Tat of course, being the excellently marked otter boy. He has always been a fun-loving, busy boy with a good curious attitude about the world around him. Mom is Emma, Pops is Noah. Shen put together five kits this afternoon. She snuck them in when I wasn't looking she was so sneaky! Broken and solid I think. Watch Me GrowBerry had two kits in the afternoon, and seemed content but a bit off. I attributed that to her hard work of delivery two big healthy kits. In the morning I discovered a third, also big healthy kit. Good job Berry. An extremely well built nest of fur, she just needed a little supplementing of straw bedding. Watch Me Grow |
AuthorI have been breeding rabbits for a quite a few years. I thoroughly enjoy them as animals and think they make great pets. I also like to take some of them to rabbit shows to see how they measure up to the standards. For the BEST rabbit forum I've ever found. Go to Rabbittalk.com. Good for the pet rabbit owner as well as the breeder for meat or show.
