New Bunnies!!

Hi. Well, we just got our new bunnies! They are all BEW Netherland Dwarfs. 2 does, and 1 buck. AND..............THEY ARE PEDIGREED!! I was only gonna get the one buck, and doe. But I picked out a...she must only be like 5 weeks old (the lady weans them to early) little doe. She is VERY VERY VERY small, and skinny, so the lady was afraid she might not live, so she through in the older BEW doe just in case. So far so good. They are all VERY sweet. :) I would highly recommend her. Im not sure if she weans them early, or if they are just really that small, lol. Well, I named the younger BEW doe Minnie Mouse (Minnie). I named the Older BEW doe Kitty (she came with that name). I'm choosing between a few different names for the buck. Either...... Siskyou, Summit Up, Jack Frost, or Top Gunner. I will choose soon. :) These are ALL SHOW QUALITY BEW. Im really excited! The older doe, has already had a litter of 6, with one BEW doe in the litter.


I plan to clean out the rabbitry tommorow. I will get pics tommorow. TTYL.

Hi. :) Well, Im very excited to have babies here, with more on the way! :D Sweetpea has 3 babies, 1 blue, and 2 gray. Secret still has her 5 little babies. Most of them have white spots on them, so they wont be showable, but Dutchlops will need some help in type, lol. All of SS are Chesnut. Of course babies are ADORABLE, but every now and then, one little baby captures your heart. Well, one has caputured mine. :) It's one of Sweetpeas, and he is a steel, he is mis marked, but has the SWEETEST personalty! He is the only one I hold, and give kisses, and he doesnt "popcorn" lol. I put him in my sweatshirt pocket, and carry him around with me when im feeding. :) His name is Stripey. Lol, silly name, but it fits him well. ;) I will keep him as my pet, and most likely sell Charlie. I love Charlie, and will try to find some way to keep him. I love all my buns, and have to try REALLY hard to not cry when they go to new homes, they are my babies, and are always loved. Shasta got some special love yesterday, and so did Gracy. These are probly 2 of my fav does in the barn, (shhhhh! Dont tell the others!) Shasta, and Gracy are for sure here to stay, they have more than enough earned there stay here. :) In fact looking at pictures yesterday I found some baby pictures of Gracy, she was SO SO SO cute as a baby! She was like a smoke gray color when she was a baby, and it slowly went away. I have to go. TTYL.

Babies!

Hi. Well, Sweetpea had 5 babies sunday. One was a runt, and got sqwished tonight. :( So Sweetpea has 4 babies. There looks to be some steels, and maybe a couple blues.? Secret Score had her babies today. I didn't really "count" them, because Im not sure if she was done, she was a little upset. But It felt like she had about 5. So smaller litters, but thats good, because I haven't had any luck selling rabbits lately, plus we are getting 1 maybe 2 ND's in November. So, I need cage space, im moving out alot of GOOD either already breeding stock, or has great potenial to be good breeding stock. Well, thats all for today. :) TTYL.

Babies Are On The Way!

Hi. Well, Sweetpea was nesting and pulling hair yesterday, and she should have them today, (or maybe there already here, I havent checked yet). Im SO excited! I havent had baby bunnies all summer! Oh, and Secret Score had some hair pulled yesterday, and she had made a little nest. She isnt due until tommorow though. I also cleaned out the rabbitry yesterday. I sprayed down the trays, and they will go back in this afternoon, I dont want to upset Sweetpea if she is having babies. Well, I will post a blog probly tommorow, with hopefully 2 litters to talk about. WEEEEEE!!!!!! TTYL.

News. . . . .

Hi. Well, I cleaned out the rabbitry. Im gonna hopefully clean it out again today. ;) Nothing much has been going on here. I bred Gracy to Harley (I might have metioned it in the last post). I tried to hand breed Lacy and Bear, but they were being STUBBORN! So, I left Lacy in with Harley overnight, and Bear in with Charlie overnight. I want to get a litter out of Charlie. Im considering selling a few rabbits I dont want to sell. Charlie is one of them, he is my pet bunny, but I have come to find out he is kinda timid, and tense, which is ok. But I would like to be able to take my pet bunny places, and it does fine. I took Buddy with me once up to the lake, to ride in our boat. And he was fine, and had fun. :) I really like Jersey Woolies, and fuzzy breeds. I would like to try one as a pet. I almost got a JW buck at Fair, but the owner, let someone else take him, because my mom was still thinking about it. Oh, well. Im also considering letting my young Dutch doe Cloud go. She is a very nice doe! Besides Shasta, the best doe in the rabbitry, markings, and type wise. She is a little un-even in her cheeks, but its ok. Im thinking about keeping her a little longer, and maybe taking her to fair, to see how she does. Another doe is Ash one of my ML's. I LOVE this doe! She is very sweet, but has awesome type! She is almost a year old, and has never been bred (sad). So, Im thinking of letting her go.
This Nov. we are gonna go down to Reno, NV to see Clinton Anderson (a horse trainer) Clinic. We are gonna go to Auburn, CA sometime while we are there, and get my BEW ND doe. And possibly a buck. :D There owner is VERY VERY VERY nice! I highly reccomend her! She is honest, and won't sell you a rabbit she wouldn't want to keep her self. Her name is Tamara (I think i spelt it right). Her website is: preciousjewellsrabbitry.com (I think).

On another note, the rabbits coats are HORRIBLE, they are ALL molting REALLY REALLY bad! I bought some oats, Im gonna see if it will help bring a nice coat to them, it has in the past. Well, TTYL.

Hi. I just thought I would post some updates (nothing much). I haven't spent alot of time with the bunnies (I have been kind of sick). But lately I have been typing some of my Mini Lops. They are so pretty! But all in HORRIBLE molts. I must have gottonm like 3 big wads of hair off of Secret Score, before I had hair up my nose. Roman was being pretty good with posing. Ash is looking good! She is so pretty! And of course Oakey, is just a sweetie. I was holding him, and he was just like falling asleep. Such a cutie, lol. Well, Im gonna start going through the herd a little bit tommorow. Everybun could use some loves, and some brushing! Lol. I also plan to clean the rabbitry tommorow (Its a little over due). Uggggg...and I HATE spiders! I usually dont mind them, but they think its great to make webs, on the cages! Urggg, well tommorow, sadly the webs are going to go. Im also gonna try to get some pictures. :) TTYL.

No Babies. . . .

Hi. Well, I have been so busy I have forgotten to post blogs! Lol, well im not sure if I posted it or not, but I bred Gracy, Lacy, and Bear in August (I think I did post it). Well, they are all at LEAST 3 days over due, and NO babies......hmmm. I cant palpate my meat does very well, so im gonna have my mom *try* to palpate them, if she doesnt feel anything, I will rebreed them tonight, when its cooler. Speaking of breeding, I bred Sweetpea to Blue (weird cross, tell you later), and Secret Score to Buddy, for our FIRST batch of Dutch Lops! :D I tryed, and tryed to breed my ND doe to Blue, but she was not giving very well, so I just decided to breed Sweetpea, who was very much in heat, and made it easier for Blues first time breeding a doe. Im still gonna put a box in with the ND doe, just in case. ;) Well, thats all for now. TTYL. Oh, I updated the site.
