Babies are here! Moved too!
Well since I havent posted and finally got internet access last week, i figure i better post a blog with updates! Letting everyone know i DID NOT plan to move the same week I had litters due, it just happened to be that way!
Moving- Well that was one crazy week getting everything packed and ready to go. Moved on the 30th and the bunnies were packed that night and brought over. This place is awesome though! 4 bedrooms and lots of rooms for people to roam. Basically have a few roomies to help pay for rent. I have a HUGE fenced backyard with 2..yes 2! sheds which is just awesome! Even a few trees around! Unfortunately the sheds are not insulated but I already have a spot for them in the utility room for them in the winter! The shed/barn there in right now is painted with the inside having a couple shelves and such. I will of course be getting brand new cages this summer so work isnt so bad! Its got lighting and a fan in there right now to keep them cool. It works!
Litters- *warning, major detail and ranting!* I FINALLY got some babies in my rabbitry after over a year! Explaining..I had Maya due on the mon, she kindled on the wed, DOAs and a peanut and one live one which I took because its just one baby and no point in raising. I raised it for over a week until another litter. The next overdue litter was Fri morning (day of moving!) having two small DOAs in her box. Zoey by this time is overdue too lol. I finally moved the rabbits fri nite into the basement, dark and quiet..and the expecting 2 moms into cages with towels, and rest of rabbits and pigs into carriers. Sat morning while feeding buns I found a dead baby under violet, all stretched so she must have had a hard time. Sun morning I found another dead baby under violet and unbelieveably dead baby cavies in with the pigs. All stillborn. I had NO idea whoever it was, was preggers, had 3 b/w somethings. Both sows were talking alot too after that. Mon morning found another dead baby under Violet (all stretched and already dead) which wa sad. But I did have one good surprise that Zoey had finally kindled 4 sable points, they were already furred though. She freaked out though and ended up scattering them but I managed to save one. On wed Naomi finally had her litter and actually turned out to be a good mom except she overcleaned them lol. One has no ears and another has one ear LOL.
So in total! I ended up with a br siamese/smoke doe out of Maya, a HUGE sable point buck with a HUGE head out of Zoey and 4 little torts out of Naomi. Of course all of these rabbits are not purebred being a holland x fuzzy cross. But otherwise still showable if any are just cant register. Funny thing, ranting..Naomis babies are very odd looking as I have never seen babies with basically no necks, there heads are right on shoulders and all are VERY stocky and wide. Most likely what fuzzies are suppost to look like lol. I have been told by Janine that Kay had a DOA litter unfortunately but lost almost all her hair so no show for her lol.
I have rebred 3 does, Maya, Violet and Cobalt, all bred to my buck Blue. Only reason is because Maya and Violet are doing a coat change and so no point in showing. With Cobalt, I MIGHT have her for sale after her litter with Blue because I will be VERY short cage space for winter. I just want a blue doe out of her lol. I will also be borrowing a BEAUTIFUL tsw peruvian boar from Laura-ann who is out of Dillons lines to use with all 3 of my gals in a couple of weeks!
Simon was plucked a couple days ago, easiest fuzzy EVER done, his coat came out perfect and looks like he is perfectly shaved :P Hopefully it grows in fast enough for the show! Going to be a NICE bun! I will be trying to get Zoey and Naomi to show because they had litters and lost alot of there "fat" so are finally underweight enough to show..and register.. :P Will also be showing Lizzy since she hasnt had a litter and is in good shape.
Ok, who is this mystery buck im getting..well..I will finally put him on my site tonite now that I have gotten confirmation from the breeder that he is for sure coming here in Aug!
Also in new buns, I will be getting a few new and old buns this fall from Washington. Hopefully some blues to start my new dilute line! I am also getting back my old doe Snowbell who is out of some pointed whites. She will be used to lighten up the sable points and get that beautiful clean coat as well as produce maybe a pointed fuzzy or two! :)
Last to mention, I will be attending Canada Day on July 1st in the park with bunnies, pigs and babies! I hopefully will also be attending some fairs this summer so look out!
