Hi everybunny!
Okay I realize I haven't been on in an eternity...okay, since March 6th :lol: :lol: but I have lots of news to share with those interested in my rabbitry.
Lets see...where do I start?
1) I went to my very first rabbit show on the 12th!!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen so many rabbits in one place! It was amazing! It was so cool to get to see all the breeds in person that I had only seen in pictures! Quite an experience!
2) I got a new Dutch Doe! She's a blue doe even though the lighting in the below picture makes her look black. She's such a sweety. The name she came with is Flower but I was hoping for something a little more creative? Any name suggestions?
5) BIG NEWS! I am now the proud owner of an adorable Netherland Dwarf doe! She is a Blue Silver marten and her name is Tinkerbell! I will hopefully have a litter out of her this summer. She is around 9 months old right now. I'm SO excited to be adding a new breed to my rabbitry!! Now I have 5 holes! :lol: Not much, but it's a big deal for me!
4) And last but most assuredly not least! I HAVE BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! It's my first litter in almost a year. Lots of complications with previous does being to old etc. :roll: The really awesome part is I finally palpated correctly! At day 14 I felt 3 grape sized balls, at day 28 I felt the kits kicking and sure enough on the 31st day I arrived at around 7am to find my doe Ginger giving birth to the last of 3 kits! Sadly the last one I was there to witness was stillborn and looked very thin and we guess it probably died a day or two before birth. It was named, given a tiny rock headstone and buried in our "grave yard" (a small area in our back yard where we burry all the birds who hit our windows. )
Anyway, I have 2 beautiful Holland lop kits! They are now 8 days old! One is Tri color and I thought the other was a tort but my friend says it is a smutty orange because of the white in the ears....thoughts? I don't know much about oranges so I need help.
^Only a few hours old^
^Day 2, fur pattern starting to become more visible^
And here they are today 8 Days old. (Below)
Orange? Tort? Other? I know the tri is a tri lol, there is black on the ears and head. (Mom is tri dad is blue tort) I have the pedigrees if needed.
