New rabbits and information on Mus.

[Cosima]

first I will start with the new information about Mus and Lily. it turns out that they were actually siblings and they were both one year old. I guess that proves that even kits from siblings can be perfectly healthy.

now the new rabbits. First I got two kits one buck (black otter or Martin with blue eyes) and one doe (chestnut) from different litters both are a mix between standard rex and a giant meat breed called Hikul. the then one rex doe (black otter) a Flemish giant buck (orange) a German giant doe (chestnut) and a mix breed chinchilla ( might be a broken) doe that will be bred to a Charlie orange (I think) lop eared rex mix buck. I would love name suggestions.

Black otter/Martin buck - Italy
Chestnut doe - Chickpea
Black otter doe - Fava
Giant orange buck - Sage
German chestnut doe - Kaninchen ( literally rabbit in german)
Broken chinchilla doe - Crackle
Charlie orange buck - Chester

A year or two ago (or maybe even three) I found out that one of my main breeding doe and her daughter were related to the buck I was breeding them with
Hahahhhhhhhhhh

Charlie orange buck - Chester

I won’t be getting him

 

[RabbitsOfTheCreek]

I won’t be getting him

why not?

 

[Cosima]

Because I have plenty of rabbits.

I like the name Sage. For the chinchilla I was more think about a name like Ash or Ashley or Asha.

Usually around here we have a different name theme each year so one can tell how old a rabbit is by their name. One of the older name themes was 'Atmospheric Conditions' so I know that Phineas Phogge, Gale and Sirroco are all about six years old. The Roman named ones are four years old, etc. Year before last, all their names started with either 'V' for Virus or 'V' for Vaccine. Then, since we were doing alphabets, the next year was names starting with 'A'. Also, named in alphabetical order so Abigail is older than Amy. This year they will all be 'B' names. By the time we get to Z there won't be any more A's left and we can start over. That should keep the database sorted by age when they're sorted by name.

 

[Cosima]

That is a interesting system but I think I will stick to normal naming.

These are the two Rex mixes

this is the buck.

and somewhere in this picture is the doe.

 

[Cosima]

I highly apologize for the quality of the pic.

the black one is the Rex she is three months old and is terrified of people.

the orange is the Flemish buck and the white rabbit is his mother.

the closest rabbit in the first two pictures is the German giant and the last picture is of her mother.

this is the chinchilla doe she is eight months old and has already had a litter.

The first mom is the mother of the orange Flemish buck. The second mom is the mother of the chestnut german doe and then the last rabbit is the Rex.
