Longest Blog Ever I Swear! Been too long..
Ok so its been like what 6 months now or so? Wow VERY sad :S I have just been super busy lately but now have time to write my brains out! Happy New Year!
Umm lots has happened now, I ended up moving out of the house I was in due to increased drug activity in the area..house was broken into few times..etc..etc. Sold most of my furniture and other stuff and moved back to my moms at her new place. She would not allow the rabbits so I forceable ended up sending them to my friends place. I now live in the basement with a bed and couch LOL. Sad compared to where I was, but hey things happen.
After that happened I came up with a plan, I would become a medic and save up enough money to live in a house in a quiet neighbourhood with no troubles. So took my course and few weeks later off I went, I work from couple days to 3 or 4 weeks at a time now. Making lots to save up! Of course it has devistated me that I cannot see my animals for such a long period of time, I feel so bad and lonely! Sucks! Must sacrifice to gain I guess.
Ok ok enough about the bs! So thats the reason I havent been putting new pics on my site or updating much, busy and I can only see my bunnies like once a month AND its so cold out I do not feel like taking pics lol.
So with whos left, one by one ill talk about them! Will be long!
Before I begin, this is the first winter for 90% of my bunnies to be outside in the cold and im VERY surprised there doing sooo well! It does help there all on wire bottoms of course. :P
Ok begin with Blue! He is doing well, grew the biggest coat ive ever ever seen in his life. He is almost 6 years old and the cold doesnt seem to affect him..but he does have a nest of hay haha. Compared to my friends other older rabbits..she lost one 5 year old doe earlier and a couple more are sick, still younger then Blue. Im truly amazed, he is a fighter! Will be a housepet once I get moved again. Love him to bits!
Naomi, Kay and Zoey all grew extremely long gorgous coats for the winter but all are extremely fat lol. Because they have never seen such cold none are breeding, nobody wants to actually lol. Concidering the barn has no insulation and a tiny heater, I wouldnt want to either. :S
Maya has FINALLY grown her coat back since the August hair cut fest. :S She is now pure gorgousness and hopefully I can grand her now so I can breed her! Her sister Violets coat grew back 2 months later, after her last litter of 2, she is now changing color to perty much a black like her dad did at this age. Figure she is a true black with shading.
Lizzy..oh Lizzy..this doe a darn mess. What happened was I bred her at the Edmonton show to one of Hollys bucks just to get her bred because I did not have a buck at the time. (I was going to buy Martin as posted on my site but because I did not want a buck with weak shoulders as most of my does have weak shoulders.) Month later she never had babies but still felt preggers, I left her for 2 months, finally palpating and felt a retained kit. Last month it amazingly dissolved and she wanted to breed again. I said only if she wants to breed and I cant feel anything will I do it. So I bred her to Joel, she bred on her own, I didnt have to touch her. She was due on xmas, unfortunately she didnt have the litter, I figure its another retained kit so I will be petting her out now unfortunately once I get some antibiotics into her and make sure shes still eating and acting normal. I wanted babies out of her sooo bad because I put legs on her last year and wanted her to produce something for me like she has for Sylvia. Obviously she has had enough. :( Next time I see her I will decide what to do with her.
Matthew is doing awesome, grown into his adult coat without even having to pluck an inch of him! Thats the coat I want! No brushing even as a jr! Except he is a peepot lol. Gorgous buck, beautiful rise, head coming in, correct ear set and coat length, will be good to go!
Joel is not in the greatest shape right now, because of being moved too much, he was confined for a while to adjust but now doing better, He has more hay then most and has grown his coat back super fast after I cut out ALOT of mats after I got him. Boys. :P He is just as gorgous as Matthew and with 6 legs to his belt, nice addition to my herd and herd buck! Love his licky personality. :P
Ewok is the little chestnut buck on page outta Violet and the fuzzy holland Simon I had. I sold Simon to a pet home at dawson show because after I plucked him his coat came in 100% wooly which might happen with a fuzzy holland, genetics screw it all up. I decided why not and bred him to Violet for the fun of it and try and get Simons gorgous type mixed with Violets small size and deal with coat later. Unfortunately the result is Ewok. Daddys gorgous body and granddads HUGE head with extremely gorgous crown set and ear open/length. BUT he has daddys coat. Last week I had no choice but to pluck him and hope for the best. Will show as a jr at the show for comments. He is tiny though at 2.4 pounds at 4 months old and fully "equiped" already which is a first for me. :S Gorgous guy who I will use very carefully in my herd. VERY friendly to boot!
Lola is Ewoks little sister. She has moms personality, no problems being with other rabbits for company and loves to cuddle. She is THE tiniest fuzzy ive ever seen, she weighs in at 2.1 at 4 months old. Fits just outside the palm of ur hand! She has moms coat, I didnt have to pluck her, she already had her adult coat in at 4 months old. Didnt have to do anything! Easy care. :P She has a HUGE head for a doe and tiny tiny ears (right now are straight up because of cold :S) Nice body, should do excellent competing against the adults! Shoulda called her Pixie :P Not bad for a "why not" litter LOL.
Jillian my thrianta is doing well, friendly little bugger who loves her cuddles, I love her to bits! I will breed her eventually but she enjoys her life right now as a cuddlebug. Did I mention shes a fattie now lol. Weighs about 5.3 pounds.. Not bad for being bottle fed from birth lol. I love her coat as she never molts haha.
Roo my frenchie is doing good, I havent been able to get any pics of him because he never sits still and wants to kiss instead lol. He has one hell of a head now and gorgous ears as well as a developing body. He eats wayyy too much, u can fill his dish 5 times a day and still want more. :S Looks skinny right now because he just keeps eating and not gaining weight lol. Give him a sliver of hay and its gone next day. unreal! Going to reach 10 pound mark but not much more. Needs more width right now im my opinion but short overall! Will show him for fun at Wetaskiwin. :P He loves the girls so if u want to use my goofy boy let me know, he carries double agouti. :)
Think I got them all, Once the weather warms up I will be breeding all my girls except Maya & Violet. Will breed them and Lola after Wetaskiwin/Chestermere. I have ordered some cages just waiting for em and other things which are fun. :P 50/50 if im going to Wetaskiwin but for sure my rabbits are. Think thats about it...its like minus 35 right now with windchill of minus 47 this morning..my god.. :S Will post again when I think of something to say or forgot!
