Bell's Babies

Bell's babies are now 11 days old.  They are doing great.  All of them have their eyes open.  They were a little easier to pose than the chocolates.  It has been confirmed that the broken on the left is a lilac polish.  The lilac are not showable yet, but are under development. They are up for their second showing this November. If they pass, they only have one more showing to go and if they pass the third showing they are allowed to be shown.

Chocolates

The chocolates are now 9 days old and starting to open their eyes. Trying to get them all to pose for a picture is not easy to do.

Here is a picture of some of the babies.  I have put one of the chocolates in with 3 of the blues so you can see the difference between the colors. The colors are from left to right: broken blue, broken lilac, chocolate, and blue. The blues are 2 days older than the chocolates.

Bell's Babies

Bell's babies are all doing great! We are expecting them to open their eyes at the end of this week.  We have been told that one of the brokens is actually a broken lilac.  I love the pattern on this one the best, but the major problem is that the lilacs are not allowed to be shown yet. Hopefully they will pass their second round at the national convention in November.  They have to pass three rounds to be accepted by ARBA and are then showable.

Chocolate Babies

Cami delivered right on schedule.  Tuesday morning she had 6 chocolate babies.  As of today, May 26, they are 6 days old and all healthy.  Here is a picture from a few days ago.

Cami

We are hoping Cami has babies today or tomorrow. She looks like she is ready to pop.  Wondering how
may she will have. Bell did not look this big and she had 4 healthy size kits.

Babies

We had babies born Sunday morning around 8:00.  Bell had 4 healthy kits. 2 solids and 2 brokens.  More pictures to come.  Right now it looks like they are all blues and broken blues.

A Few of Our Rabbits

BLUE BELL is GORGEOUS. This picture just doesn't do her justice. She is due to have her next litter around May 18th. We are very excited. She is such a good mama to her babies.

As you can see she is chowing down to provide the nutrition she needs and her babies will need when she nurses them. She is SUCH a sweet girl. She won Reserve Champion for Senior Doe at our 2014 NCJL Show.

Here is a kit from Zebra.

Adorable, right?

This is Cami; our chocolate Doe. She has been bread with our sweet chocolate buck, Elf. He was named Elf because he was born on Christmas day. She was also a December baby. We are expecting her litter around May 20th. We can't wait!

We will have a lot more to share about once the babies are here! They are incredible. They start so tiny and so quickly they grown their fur and start finding their way our of their nest box. And, their mommies are so good with them.

More to come in a few days!!!

BUILDING OUR RABBITRY

We have had several litters and have a few more we are expecting within the next week or two. They are gorgeous! We are so excited!

More pictures are soon to come. Terry manages our does and the birthing and babies. I manage the bucks to breed from. We have genetics for blacks, chocolates, blues and broken in the same colors; all are pedigreed. Our last litter of kits produced some beautiful babies both bucks and does.

Our kids are excited to show a few of our new kits as Junior Fancy Polish in the NCJLS winter of 2015.

We also provide pedigreed pet Polish at a reduced rate. These are the babies that are sweet and lovable but not quite show quality. Polish rabbits are small. They don't get any larger than a full grown guinea pig. AND, they litter train. They are easy to maintain. My children each have a polish as a pet and adore cuddling with their sweet little bunnies.

Pictures of some of our current babies are soon to come!

So if you are interested in showing a Polish Rabbit at your next livestock show or other Fancy Rabbit show, please contact us. Or, if you just want a cute little bunny with ears and a little bunny nose as a pet, contact us. We are your South Texas Polish Connection based out of Nueces County.

Some times we might have a bunny available but it is better to contact us in advance. Our breeding follows a schedule and we are very careful with our does so as to keep them loved, happy and healthy. We aren't a 'farming out' breeder. We are an in home, loving breeder. Our priority is the health and happiness of our bunnies. We are in it because we just love the Polish breed.

All the rabbits are doing well we have a nice litter of two (black and broken black) that are about 7 weeks old.  We are hoping they turn out nice. 

I am thinking that Bell and Cami are both pregnant.  They are both eating everything in site and act like I never feed them. I noticed yesterday when I was giving the rabbits new water that Cami had a definite bulge on her side.  I am hoping that it a little baby. Will know around May 20.  Bell's nest box will go in the middle of next week and Cami's at the end. 

I was also excited to find out that we have more people wanting our rabbits.  I had a lady come up to me yesterday and want one from the litters that we don't even have born yet!  Hopefully we will have a lot to pick from this summer. 

It has been a long time since our last post.  We will try to be better.

We have had many exciting things happen with our rabbits.  Our black buck from our September litter, Midnight, and our heavy patterned doe from the same litter, Zebra, did awesome in our Nueces County Live Stock Show.  The buck took Grand Junior Fancy buck and our doe took Reserve Junior Fancy doe.  Our Broken Blue Doe Bell took Reserve Senior Fancy Breeder.  Our other rabbits did well earning blue ribbons.  We were very pleased with the results. 

We have some 6 week old kits right now from, Zebra. She is our doe that won reserve as a junior.  We have a nice solid and a blanket patterned broken black. Will post pictures soon of them.  They are very cute. 

We have bred Bell with an awesome blue buck, Storm, and are awaiting babies around May 18th.  We also picked up a chocolate doe, Cami, and have bred her to Elf, our chocolate buck.  She is due around May 20. 

We are also extremely excited that we were able to pick up a broken chocolate buck, Nutter Butter.  We can not wait until he it old enough to breed.  We will be breeding him with Cami in July for some more live stock show babies.
