Gus moved to Chatham

9/19/2021

So a family member had a work gig in Chatham this morning so I tagged along (actually... i needed to drive so preparations could be finished). And I had a gal contact me about this happy little dude.

I've been calling him Ene (short for Energizer) as he's a happy, friendly BUSY boy. While siblings would be calmly sniffing around he'd be bopping around, doing binkies and running circles around them. After letting him wear off his energy he always settled well for me and I could let him be a pocket bunny once in a while. :)

His new family decided Gus suited this kit from Beauty and Arrow. He was born on July 15 as part of a litter of seven. He was the only one of the three tiny ones in that litter to survive and he proved he has a lot of gumption. IF I had needed another boy, Ene/Gus would have stayed, as I simply adored this tiny busy boyo. I am DELIGHTED that he has a lovely family to call his own.

Discovering the "V" rabbits of the world

9/9/2021

Did you know there are no "U" rabbits in the world. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, though it might have been funny to discover unicorn rabbits.

Anyways, we'll just move along into the V rabbits.

I know of the velveteen lop which is a rabbit still in the development stage. People are trying various approaches to developing a lop eared rabbit with a rex coat.

Spain developed "The V-Line" rabbit. a medium-sized rabbit weighing about 7 lbs. I couldn't find a lot of information about these rabbits beyond reading a study about the beneficial use of discarded dates in helping rabbits grow in hot climates.

Austria gives us the vienna coloured, and the vienna white. Basically identical rabbits for size (7-11 lbs) and conformation, but with the white strictly being a white rabbit. The coloured some in Agouti, black and blue.

New Place for two Girls

9/9/2021

The harlequin girl, part of a litter of seven, off Beauty and Arrow headed off to her new home with half sister from Gracie and Arrow born on June 29. The sable point is out of a litter of six.

The sable point should mature to a smaller size than the harlequin. She is a quiet girl but knows her own mind and doesn't like being pushed into anything.

The harlequin, out of a brood sized doe will most likely mature to around 4 lbs. She's a happy girl, who likes to jump but is somewhat cautious in her approach to life around her.

Cherry kit off to Wasaga Beach

9/8/2021

A two hour trip for her owner, a one hour trip for me, plus family help and a young rabbit from Cherry and Gregory found her way to a new home.

Born as part of a litter of 11, born July 1, 2021. A sweet-natured young bunny who should make for an excellent pet.

She'll be called Isuzu.

Sisters Leave Together

9/8/2021

These two young ladies went off to their new home last Saturday. Off Beauty and Arrow, born on July 15. Sweet young ladies who should please their new people.

Discovering the "T" rabbits

9/1/2021

The T rabbits, oh, what T rabbits can we discover in the world around us?

I know of the Tamuk... a commerical end run rabbit. Use for breeding but the kits are supposed to be culled for food.

And what other T rabbits.... Then there's the Tan rabbits. Gorgeous rabbits, a running breed. Simply beautiful. Four varieties that originally hailed from England, the breed club tells us that they came stateside in 1936. Tans come in four varieties (colors): black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

The video below shows a couple of the colour variations.

I can't forget about the Thrianta. A rabbit developed in The Netherlands in honour of the royal house. They almost died out in during the second world war. They are red with a fawn tail, and fawn under their feet. A medium sized fancy rabbit weighing 4-6 lbs. They are a compactly built rabbit. The Breed Club.

At one point I wanted to own a pair of them as well...you know DUTCH origins. But thought I might get bored with only the one colour. Aren't they a pretty rabbit though?

Other T rabbit breeds include

Germany gives us the Thuringer rabbit. A sable rabbit with dark points. This rabbit weighs about nine pounds. A bold muscular rabbit.

The small Tadia comes from Morocco. I think this is the first rabbit from Morocco that we've featured. Developed as a small meat rabbit in 1994, it weighs up to 4 lbs.

There are a couple "teddy" rabbits being developed. The Teddywinder which is a lop eared fuzzy long-haired dwarf rabbit. and the Teddy Dwarf which again is a fuzzy long-haired dwarf rabbit with erect ears and a flat face. They aren't official breeds as far as I can tell. They are mostly being developed in Germany.

The Tronder rabbit, also known as the Norwegian Silver Fox, is a shiny black rabbit with white hairs throughout the coat providing a silvering look. Developed in 1913 in Norway weighing 9 to 13 pounds

A London home for 2 girls

8/31/2021

Tricolour girl was born June 17 to Pria and Arrow, part of a litter of four. A quiet lass who is first to say hi to me in the mornings.

Tort girl was born June 30 to Webb and Timer, part of a litter of six. A happy gregarious girl with a penchant for trouble. :)

Everest and Kiki

8/31/2021

Kiki is a June 17 kit from Pria and Arrow, Everest is a July 15 kit from Beauty and Arrow. So they are half-sibs in a way! :) Anyways, their owners (mom and child) met me at the Honda dealership yesterday as I was in for a service there.

Kiki has never been a strong kit but in the last week he surprised me by growing! He is now the same size as Everest and really enjoys eating! I was delighted to see him come along so nicely. He was part of a litter of four.

Everest is a quiet lass. part of a litter of seven. A lovely youngster who should do well in her new home.

Bunnies Rehomed Today

8/28/2021

These three boys Thunder, Thomas and Jerry are off to the same home.

The two boys above (Thunder and Thomas) are brothers off Elly and Timer. Born June 30. Part of a litter of six.

This little guy has show potential. A nice young fellow out of a litter of four from Gracie and Arrow. He was born June 29.

These two Girls

These two girlies went to two separate homes. Both are off Elly and Timer. Born June 30. Out of a litter of six.

This latter girl is Penelope. At last report
She got all settled in and is finally relaxing now (went to check on her and she was flopped). She ate some parsley I gave her to help her tummy since she hasn't pooped yet. Hopefully that helps

She's pretty nervous about getting pet right now (gave me a big thump when I tried hahaha!) so I'm just leaving her alone to calm down and relax some more :)

I can already tell she's going to have a big personality!!!

Her new person is absolutely correct, she will have a mind of her own, but will settle with time.
