I clipped the nails on my rabbits today and figured I'd take pictures and make a thread here showing each rabbit on its own
So, starting with the bucks.
First, of course, my Kori.
My first buck, part of the trio I got last year He's a Svensk Pälskanin, old heritage breed. Not very large, they're generally less than 4kilos.
Sir Petalot. My new Belgian hare you already know about :lol: An important part of my new plan to breed more elegant meat rabbits.
Rams. European Checkered Giant. He's like a big bear! :lol: As long as he has Dragon there to comfort him, he's quie friendly and nice. But he's a big, scared and aggressive rabbit if he lives on his own (no problems taking him out fro the cage or so, but a few days of being lonely makes him grumpy)
Dragon, de-sexed buck and company to Rams. He keeps Rams in a good mood and because of that h's an important part of my set up.
The does:
Dill. Full sister to Dragon and born here. She's kept as a breeding doe but has not yet had her first litter. She'll be mated with Petalot once he's out of quarantine.. Rams is a bit big for a first timer and Kori is her father. Kummin is her mother.
Kummin. One of the does in my first trio. Kyndel is her full sister, and Dill and Dragon her offspring. She's a good mother leaving nice and friendly kits.
Kyndel, the last of the rabbits in my original trio. She leaves nice kits and is a good mother, though she's not as pretty as her sister. She doesn't have a lot of white hairs and her shape is often pretty odd, but she is a good rabbit.
In the other doe-pen I have these two:
Spira I bought her together with Rams but they're unrelated. Also a european Checkered Giant. Somewhat grumpy at times and not too fond of being petted, but easy enough to trim her claws and tend for. I have yet to see her mothering skills, hopefully sooner rather than later
Sotöra. A cross between Svensk Pälskanin (Kyndel) and a solid black checkered giant I had before. She's almost the same size as Spira and I hope for kits from her as well soon. A little shy, but nice.
Aaaand.. the 4 current kits
They're getting a bit crowded with Kyndel, Kummin and Dill, but hopefully next weekends I can put them into the ''free range'' pen. I put concrete in it today and then I'll sanitize it with natrium hydroxide once the concrete are finished.
Those are the rabbits here right now
