Haha! So cute!
Right now I have 4 Netherlands (a smoke pearl and 3 Si sables) and a foster black tort Holland in my nestbox. My VM ND doe only had one stillborn peanut yesterday. So sad. I was hoping for some BEWs! My chocolate chestnut ND is ready to deliver any minute but still hasn't pulled any fur! Hurry up and have them already! LOL

sad part, there used to be three like that, but it's the stacker that I still haven't put babysaver wire in, and now only 1. Is it bad to say I was tired of black otters?

This is just mean and cruel to those of us with our breeding on hold. Can't wait to have babies again.

I'm not sure if I should giggle right now (inappropriate laughter smiley).coffeenutdesigns":28oul39i said:
The weather here has been perfect, and I have been breeding all summer long. recovering the losses. I don't know what I would do if I had to pause, how would I get my bunny fix?
Okay, that's it. Tomorrow morning I am taking a roasting pan and a wooden spoon down to the rabbitry. I shall read the riot act and pound on the roasting pan to tell my layabout rabbits what will happen if they don't start makin' babies!
(Actually, the rabbits very sensibly take vacation in June and July. I'm not really concerned unless I still see no kits by the end of August.)

What's in my nest box?
Dust.
It's too hot to be makin' babies hereabouts. If my bucks aren't all sterile, I plan on starting to breed the end of August. I expect it will be the end of October tho, before I see any bunnies filling nest boxes here.

We're very fortunate, the summer weather here is rarely too hot for rabbits to breed so I usually have litters every two weeks. Here are pictures of 3 of the litters born about 7/23.
Hip Hip Hooray, a broken amber doe was bred back to her chocolate sire and gave a litter of Amber, Lynx, and Lilac, and brokens of those colors. Finally I'm getting my brown gene colors
Raw Silk, red doe, bred to Habanero, red buck, gave us a litter of 12 red kits.
Yerba Buena, broken red doe, bred to Wizard's Silk, castor buck, gave a litter of castor, black, red and brokens
I have three does, of the 5 bred for next week, who have already started building their nest so we should have some chinchilla, lynx and lilac kits. The cream doe that gave use the "every agouti color" litter of 10 a couple of months ago bred to a chocolate buck, is rebred to the same buck and carrying straw And so is her lynx daughter,bred to a lilac buck, from the breeding before that so I'm really hoping for lots more brown based kits.
