Stuck Between Breeds
As title goes, im stuck!! I have aquired some new cages thus I want to get another trio of something...
Backtracking first though, out of all the animals that were bred after Chestermere, only ONE kindled a live litter, that was Jillian and she didnt even make a nest, it just happened to be alive like the last baby. It was a vienna marked black outta a lionhead laura-ann has. Now we know for sure the lionhead carries bew haha. Other then that, I swear on everything I palpulated pregnant does. This time around im not gonna lay a finger on em!!! Bit mad because I wanted Blue fuzzies and got nothing. :/
Honestly I think Winter and Jillian just have issues kindling as I noticed palpating em after, there bellies are very stretched and kindling 1-2 babies per litter. This time around I bred Jillian to Forrest, Winter to Joel (last chance) and will be rebreeding Kyoko to Joel next week, her belly was very hard so i left her for a week. Carmen (the new thrianta doe) was bred to Forrest last week and will be checking and rebreeding if I have to.
For my pet updates, Blue hasnt been doing well lately, just old age. He has his good and bad days, sleeping the days away, poor old man. Its also hard to deal with him as when you take him out, he constantly wants to hump ur hand lol. I think hes going through menopause LOL. Boo is doing well as well as Zoey. Joel is same way, has his good and bad days, will be shaved in the next day or so to relieve some stress because of the heat and his long coat.
As for the frenchies, Roo is doing well and filling out some more and being his usual self. Unfortunately Wish is still in quarantine under a close eye. She barely survived the coccx treatment, lost a whole bunch of weight but noticed shes eating about a flake of hay a day and drinking well so should make it though. Because of this im not going to breed her and just find her a pet home. Its too hard on her body and by the time its ok to breed her again she will be too old and also winter time. Daisy the other frenchie is gaining weight like crazy, typical frenchie doe behaviour. I will be breeding her mid july for an august litter. Other then that not too much going on.
Now back to original post!! As I said, I have does that dont wanna breed or dont produce so my problem is, what do i do! Here are my options, first is get outta breeding and just stick to my pets. Second option I sell kay and winter to pet homes and focus on something else. Other options are what breed(s) do I go for. Only thing I know for sure is frenchies are out. I will have a trio MAX, most likely just a pair though, Roo and the Bubbles baby im getting soon. Now what breed do I breed. Options are shipping up a trio of thrianta from Washington (knowing I have a buck here thats 3.5 years old, a doe that will not breed and a doe without a pedigree lol), go and get a trio of hollands and hope they produce because thats why I sold out to begin with, or do I go with a totally different breed. What I was looking at was Dwarf Hotots but noticing there IMPOSSIBLE to find, I had thought Netherlands but from reading, there temperments seem to be perty bad.
Theres my situation, as far as im concerned one of the main points here is it MUST produce live babies. Im sick of seeing dead babies or constant non kindle does, been over 2 years now and about 20 litters. Im giving this one last shot, if the new stock I just brought up doesnt produce, im selling most and keeping my few pets. Hopefully saying this will do something lol.
And for people who check my site regularly, I will be moving to my own house next weekend, located in Clairmont (im not saying where though). The bunnies will be moved in about 2-3 weeks depending on how much work I will have. They will be housed in a shed of course! It already has siding and shingles, just needs to be insulated and custom built shelves for my cages and some light and good to go!! They may even get an air conditioner...LOL. Im very excited, I miss my buns very much and cant wait to bring them home!! :P My place will be open to people who would like to visit then, but phone or email me first please!
Thats about it for now, I will keep updating on what will happen next

Hi Brianna;
Mini lops are fantastic producers, and raise litters no problem! One Idea. Or, What about Havanas or Mini Satins? Regular Satins or English lops? All seem to be easy breeders and good moms for the most part.. Dutch are supposed to be another one!
