Attended a show on Saturday and went...er....bunny wild! Came home with 3, plus one we'd picked up on Wed for an exhibitor, so 4 new buns in QT just now. Also have 2 more on the way in a couple weeks.
Wed's acquisition is a gorgeous broken black Sr NZ doe. She's already had 2 10+ litters, so I'm hoping for a nice big one about Mid March after breeding her to our SF buck. We'll breed the SF doe at the same time so I'm really hoping for lots of popples about then.
I'd made arrangements through a local group for a jr broken opal charlie Rex doe, but when we checked the sex change fairy had visited and turned out she was a he. So we get one of his sisters instead, and she's the sweetest bun I've ever encountered! I've read lots where folks have buns who head butt for loving but never experienced it til this one. She gives kisses too. I've totally fallen in love with the fur as well!
Figured it might be time to add another buck to the herd so we got Max, a jr Champagne d'Argent. He's such a character!
Hubby even got in on the action. He fell head over heels for a chocolate mini Rex doe.
Also got to meet in person a person from the group who has Americans. We'd already made arrangements for one of the does from her first litter, and I got to hold her...I'm in love again Turns out she has another litter that's unrelated, so we made arrangements for a buck from that one. Will probably be getting these two in a couple weeks.
We also got a great deal on 5 cages, so plenty of room but...we're running out of QT Space!!!
Now, of course, I'm thinking I need a Rex buck. I want more colors and more of that amazing fur! There's another show next month...oh dear. I do have a question though...the two does we got...one's a standard and one's a mini who's mother carries the dwarf gene. Could I breed her to a standard buck?
