My F1 black Lionhead doe, Astrid, greeted me with a fur-filled nest box with 9 little feisty babies yesterday morning. She was 3 days past due and was bred to a black NZ cross buck named Akryn.

She had 5 blacks, 2 whites (I think) and a little blue (my favorite color). These guys will be destined for the freezer so I'm going to try to not get attached :) Though I'll probably hold back a doe or two. (Kind of hoping the little blue is a doe!)

Oddly enough, this morning I went out to the rabbit shed to find a little black deceased baby on ground :( Apparently it had squeezed through the wires. I could have sworn I had counted 8 yesterday so I suppose there were actually 9. Hard to count in all that fur. I suppose the unfortunate little one may have still been attached to her when she hopped out. The rest of the poppers are plump and healthy!

I'll have pictures soon!
