There Here!!!

Omg. Thats all I can say. It has been over a year since I have had a chance to get some new buns and these guys were worth it! Thank u so much Sarah for getting these guys home!
Ok, explaining time! Basically I was very very impressed and sorta in shock because I have never seen fuzzies so small before..lol. Nova and Ari both weigh at 2.8 and seriously are about half the size of all my other bunnies. I needed to get down in size already but now I definately have a reason now! Nova has definately zoeys body just from looking at her and her head is developing nicely. The only thing I dislike about the doe is her COAT. She has the type of coat where it is like an 8 week old baby, all wool and no guard hairs. I am planning on breeding her to Mocha when she is old enough to fix the problem. Because of her wool, she does require more grooming attention compared to all the others who dont need to be groomed at all..lol. Nova also has Zoeys funny attitude and her way of thinking is my way or the highway..lol. Ari on the other hand is a total opposite. She is a very mellow doe with the oddest coat ive ever felt. it is quite silky in touch but it is full of gaurd hairs and wool non the less. Maybe its the nice lines she has..lol. She does not need to be brushed either. Her head is a different story, suprisingly I have never seen a fuzzy or holland have such a perfect crown placement and width and if her head grows in, things may get interesting. She is very tough decision! Her body lacks big time right now, she is longer then I want and is severely undercut but does have better shoulders then Nova right now which I am lacking in my herd. Zoey is the same old, when I first saw her, I was quite happy but when I actually felt her coat, she reminded me of what I had lost (Her mom Shizam and Chester who recently passed away) but I feel stronger now because I have what was lost and I can replace those with more of her babies. Zoey has definately gotten darker in her age, possibly even smoke like in her coat. her coat is very very nice and long which is a bonus. Currently molting in her face so i cant really tell what her head is going to do. Same old gal with her moms attitude. :)
Now I havent even decided what I am going to do with them yet. I need another buck..lol. I gotta figure out a way to decide on type of breeding program and what about them. They will be shown in Feb and I think all will be registered along with Blue and possibly Rockette. We shall see. Snow is showing signs of being bred which Im happy about. I will not be keeping any of the babies unless somehow theres a pointed fuzzy..lol. They will be ready for just after xmas. Ill keep updated and new pics of the new buns will be up ASAP. Cyah
