Here's my remaining 2 bucks. I'm just breeding the MR for fun to sell as pets and butcher for pelts so I'm breeding personality, health, coat quality, color, type in that order. When I have a house and a dedicated rabbit building (maybe 2-3 years from now) and can keep all the rabbits I want then I'll bring in some good show quality stock. I'm thinking of breeding chocolate and broken chocolate. If I actually produce anything in the next few years that is useful for my future breeding plan then it will be a bonus.
Kai Yori- very very nice coat and is quite small. Odd shoulders though and this entire line is long in the body.
Can anyone tell me what combination of problems in his type is making this dip at his shoulder show up in most posing attempts? He doesn't just have a delay before he slopes up or a long slope he has an actual dip so his skull is higher than his shoulders unless you really stretch him out or pose him absolutely perfect. Took a lot of attempts to get the look in the first photo.
Kai Akemi-kept for his broken color and to add some better type back in. Moderate coat quality, slightly big for a MR, and has a pinched face that didn't show up in the pic angle. I plan to breed Tsuya, Yori's full sister, to Akemi and keep a broken chocolate doe to breed to Yori. Ended up with a more feminine name because he decided to *** change at 3 months old after being named in my pedigree software and I'm too lazy to think up another name and change it.
This weekend while butchering some creme x MR I might get pics of the 2 does I kept. I'm not sure I want pics of Tsuya right now though. While we were busy spending the last month moving she got a bit neglected and ate herself to obesity in one of the smaller cages. I put the champagne buck up in a cage so I could put the MR does down in the champagne colony and get Tsuya some exercise. Most of the rabbits regulate their feed intake and amount of sunflower seeds fine on their own. In the winter they ate the BOSS first, then hay, then pellets or grains. In the summer most are leaving the BOSS behind and eating hay first and then picking out pellets or straight grains until they run out of other food sources. Tsuya though picks out all the sunflower seeds, then pellets or grains, and only eats hay if you practically starve her. While I was busy I didn't adjust her feed quantity well enough. No one else is fat on the same diet. In fact I just raised the concentration of BOSS in the other colony's feed because the creme doe and her latest batch of kits were a bit skinny.
