New Babies

A lot has been going on over the summer.  We have bred for juniors for our livestock show and the babies are just now being born.  Skye had four kits (1 blue, 1 broken black, 1 broken blue, and a lilac) last week with 2 surviving. The lilac and broken blue have survived. Zebra just had her babies today.  We were hoping for 4, but were shocked to get 6!  All look to be healthy and nice size.  She has 2 black, 1 blue, 2 broken black, & 1 broken blue. Our last litter due is from Bell.  She is due September 3.  She is very moody right now.  Waiting for her to have her babies so she will go back to her sweet self.

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!!!

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.

Good morning, sweet world!

This morning one little kit took it's first wee little look at the world! Their eyes are finally opening!

They are growing so quickly! We've sold two kits so far. And, have interests in the other two. We are just indecisive about selling them or keeping them for show. Decisions, decisions. Bluebell will be going back up to Victoria after we show her in this year's Nueces County Junior Livestock show to be breed with an excellent buck. We also plan to breed Zoe to Levi soon. So more kits to come!!! So far this new adventure has been a wonderful one.
