AKF Annie's Love won BOB English lop open against 337 others in this years national convention as a jr bkn doe. She was BOV bkn as well. AKF Abbotsford won 1st out of his class of 31 solid jr bucks. That means that of the 8 rabbits left on the table for BOV and BOB judging, 2 of them came from...

Is anyone going to be near Wisconsin and headed towards Oklahoma in the near future? Or even to Arkansas, Kansas, TX....somewhere within a reasonable distance? I am needing 2 or possibly 3 plush lops (Holland lop sized) brought this direction.

I'm having trouble on my Elop bunnies determining if they are fawn or orange. The SOP isn't very helpful. One is bright orange and one is a brilliant golden. Both have brown eyes and white undercoats. To me the difference between bright orange and brilliant golden could be left up to the eye of...

I have a doe that has had 2 very huge, very late babies out of the last 3 litters. The first time she was 3 days late. I found 2 huge dead babies when I removed the nest box. The second time she kindled on time and raised 7 perfect babies. Yesterday she was 5 days late and had 2 huge babies. One...

Saturday, my son's girlfriend had a bad asthma attack which actually killed her. Luckily, they were only a minute away from an ER, where they used the paddles to restart her heart. Since Saturday, she has been on a breathing tube/ventilator and has been kept under sedation. An MRI shows...

I've done a search of the forum and found numerous suggestions, but can't really make heads or tails of them. I've decided I need to give Pen G to 2 of my grown English lop does. They are not bred or nursing, and weigh approx. 10 1/2 lbs. I've purchased small syringes with ml on them, I just...

Last Saturday - double show 3 hours away. Up at 4 am. On the road before 5:00. Did pretty good in the first show. Did real good in the second show. Won BOB and BOS. Didn't stay for BIS due to weather, but might have had a real good chance since everyone was leaving. Oh well. Got home just as...

I don't have the largest size rabbits, so this can't be affecting just me, but my brood does seem to "supersize" their poops while raising babies and NONE will fall thru the regular 1/2 x 1 wire that normally works. I am constantly scraping, cleaning, scrubbing after they've stood on it all day...

Barring another freak wind storm that collapses entire trees on my front porch, I intend to make this show with my sister. I will have at least 8 elops and my sister will be showing, and selling, Satins. Anyone else? <br /><br /> __________ Thu Feb 27, 2014 9:54 pm __________ <br /><br /> I...

With all these bunnies coming on, and a new, nearly empty barn, it was time to make some cages. Normally I make 3 stackers, but I need grow-out cages which didn't have to be quite as large. This was my first attempt, and it turned out pretty good. The cages are 24x24 and 14" high. The space in...

This final group of pics are all nestbox babies, all less than a week old. The oldest is a litter of blues - 13 were born - 8 survive. These have the same Mama as the litter where all of the bkn blues died, but a different Papa. This is the litter that prompted my earlier post about their REW...

This is a litter of Harleys and tris - 4 of each and 2 each of each sex. The OCD fairies were smiling on me! Harley is not showable, but necessary to get the tris. The tris are showable, but unfortunately, first time Mama chewed on 2 of their ears (both the does, of course) so only the tri boys...

I have quite a few litters right now. Thought I would take pics and share. This is the remaining 4 of the oldest litter. Their 5 siblings were the broken blues who all died. Two boys, two girls, one of each color. All appear to be showable at this point but I think the bkn doe will be the best...

My sister and I are going. I will be taking 7 senior English lops and she will be taking Satins. Anyone else?

Most of you will probably remember my post from awhile back about my REW Mama, bred to my bkn blue torte Papa, that produced 10 bunnies but only 4 lived. All of the bkn blues died. The general consensus was that she was carrying a bkn gene and the bkn blue babies were genetic charlies, even tho...

The perks of having 28" ears! On a sad note, I should have posted this earlier. This was the litter that even tho Mama seemed to be taking great care of everyone, I lost all of them. The pictures were so sweet tho, I wanted to share.

I just spent the last hour or so on the vistaprint.com website designing my new business cards. I got to design them myself (they offer formats). I picked the one I liked the best and made it myself. I was able to add 3 personalized pictures of the bunnies, change colors, decide which fonts and...

So since I posted my long, rambling, whiny, things aren't going my way thread, I thought I would post a couple of the good things happening around the barn since. A first time doe had a revelation and actually put the kits in the box. I could see where she had begun making the nest on the wire...

Oklahoma - winter weather is a roller coaster. 70 degrees today. High Monday will be 25. Last weekend it did the same thing - 65 over the weekend, the front came in and dropped it to the coldest temps we've had in 12 years, overnight. Woke up to 5 degrees with a -12 wind chill. Concerned for my...

Out of a litter of 10, I have 4 survivors. One was born dead, and 5, all broken blue, died between 3-4 weeks old, one right after the other. The surviving siblings are 2 solid blue and 2 broken blue torte. Is there such a thing as a lethal color gene? The breed is English lop. Parents are...
