Anyone's litters picture thread!

Thanks Zass!
I use a Nikon D7000 with an 28-80mm lens camera. It's a great camera, lots of variety that you can do with it! It does take a bit to get used to, but I love using it

A couple cute photos of some of our 4 week old Mini Lop kits out of Spirit's Scarlet:

These are from the same litter yet a day apart the first 2 is the older one who is a day old now.


This is the new one

SassyPants is due any time now. her due date is tomorrow. she put plenty of hay in the nest box. I cleaned it out the other day and put it in fresh bedding and hay. lookin fat! I was thinking she would have 6 but now beginning to wonder if she is going to have more or just plump babies right off lol.

here is my prize litter of Harlequin Rex! I'm so proud of how they are turning out!

Karebru, those kits actually look fed pic, they must be HUGE now.

Here's the little chunks at 11 days... 6-1/2 and 8 1/2 ounces.
I don't know how that compares, but they're the fastest growers I've had so far.
I found them out of the nest already this morning, stumbling around, blind. So I cleaned it out and put less bedding in it to make it deeper. I'd like them to stay in there a day or two longer, at least until their eyes are open.

Gold tipped steels ! <3

What? My two? :shock: Rabbits are so confusing! Body types, fur types, colors, solids, broken, patterns, self, tipped, etc. etc. etc...
Here's a simple chart for beagle varieties. I've seen similar for koi.

Is there some kind of comprehensive guide (for dummies) out there explaining all the variations in rabbits? :shrug:

 

[ohiogoatgirl]

*soft giggling that turns into maniacal laughter*

rabbit colors and patterns is *ALOT* more complicated than that.

OBVIOUSLY.... That's why I'm asking. :lol:

Updated pictures of my Tri Holland Lop litter! 3 really well marked kits, 1 charlie tri color (who's a total sweetie ) and then another charlie tri who is very lightly marked.

My first litter this year, Red Shrew kindled 8, 6 days old now, didn't disturb the nest until today because it was below freezing every night since, everything ok, very caring and protective mom.

Colours are the same as in her first litter of ten, well, same colours as dam and sire, more or less broken. No surprises there.

What's that light brown called anyway, fawn?

It's been a long month but here's some of the little cuties:


With the up and down weather she can't keep up. One minute 80*, pulls all the fur out, next 38*, piles the fur back in. :x :lol: :lol: :lol:

Quesadilla got started too young. I got some dates mixed up and it wasn't in till I put the breeding into the record book that I notice my mistake. But she has proven to be a great mother.

This is my first litter from my pedigreed tri rex buck. The dam is 1/2 rex so the kits are 3/4 rex. This is her third litter. First litter was 9 and all were rex furred except 2. The second was 13 and I culled 2 runts right away and unfortunately lost the third runt to getting pulled out of the box but only 3 of them were rex furred. You just never know how the dice is going to roll. I think this litter is 13 as well.

The dam is a lightly marked magpie (cchd c) and it looks like there are no REW kits in the litter so I'm going to assume the sire is CC. Looks like I have several tri's as well. There was a chance of dilute in this litter as the dam is also Dd and the sire had a chance of carrying dilute as well however, I didn't see any evidence in my quick perusal. I am really excited about this litter. I hope a couple of the dark harli's are rex furred and does... I'll wait a few days and post some more pictures. I really don't like to mess with them to much as this age. I worry they waste energy popping around unnecessarily.

Momma: She holds her weight when nursing a litter better then some of my other does and is only slightly behind on growth.




I have a torted tri doe due today as well. I'll post pictures as soon as she kindles.

And here is a bit older litter. This litter is out of my rex coated mutt doe. She had 11 and has raised them all. I was a bit worried after only 4 of her last litter lived but I guess that was related to bacteria in the nestbox since it had a wood floor. I replace that with wire and this litter has been fine.

I've also kept the 3 does that lived from that litter. I figure if they lived maybe they are resistant to bacteria.

The sire of this litter is my lilac pedigreed rex buck and the dam carries non-extension, chocolate, and dilute so lots of color.

I missed one in this pic it was at the water bottle. <br /><br /> __________ Sat May 07, 2016 7:25 pm __________ <br /><br /> And the torted harlequin kindled this afternoon, only six. I'm not too upset about that though since she was really young, only 3 months 28 days when I bred her . I thought she was a full month older and didn't realize my mistake until I was entering it into my records. Also, her dam and grand dam have both had smaller litter to start and have both ended up having 10 at a time. I am going to foster over some of the magpies kits. Turns out she had 14 not 13. Think they can both raise 10? :mrgreen:

Anyway here are the torted harli's kits.

My little guys are 5 weeks now, all survived and all healthy and beautiful! I ended up with two bucks (tort and cream) and the broken is a doe, who I've retained Couldn't be happier with Ana's first litter!
