Lots of Babies!

It's so much fun having lots of baby bunnies! Seventeen all together right now! This is the most babies I've ever had at one time. :)

Alicia had seven kits yesterday (22nd). They all seem to be doing pretty good, Alicia checks on them constantly, she is so cute!

Daisy's babies will be leaving soon. And all of Amanda's will be leaving around May 6th. I'm pretty excited with how things are going so far. All of Amanda's babies on hold for people before they are 6 weeks old, and Daisy's babies are all on hold now as well!

I got a new Holland lop doe on April 9th. Her name is Hannah's Moose, and she is a chestnut agouti. She's a pretty cute lil' girl. I got her from Hannah's Hollands, thank you very much Hannah and Laurie! I will be posting some pictures of her soon.

I bred her to Tom, and will soon be breeding Daisy to Blueberry.

It's a beautiful day today! So, I'm going to go outside now!

Wow!

All of the babies out of both litters are reserved already except for the orange/black harlequin Holland lop buck! Well, since I'm keeping one, then there are 8 out of the 10 already on hold for people, before they are 8 weeks old! And I have more people on a waiting list! Amazing! :)

Also, Alicia is already gathering any hay I give her and carrying it around in her mouth, trying to make a nest in the back of her cage! She's still got about 5 more days 'til she gets her nest box even! She's pretty cute! :)

Okay, I need to go out and feed the buns now! Kind of a short post, but here pretty soon I'm going to do a big picture post at the library! :)

Pictures on Website...

I was able to go to the library today and put a few pictures on my website!

The Mini lops are 3 weeks old now, and are cute little things! Sadly, the little black one passed away on March 31st. :( It was my favorite out of the litter.

So what's left are: 2 broken blacks, and 2 charlie blacks. 3 bucks and 1 doe. One of the brokens is a runt, I took a couple pictures of him next to another one and he's pretty small compared to the rest. He's soooo cute, and has his little ears fully lopped already. Well, actually, they all pretty much do! They are doing everything early: eyes open at 9 days, out of nest box at like a week old, and ears lopped.

Anyway, there are 2 pictures each of them on my website, just click the link below!

The hollands are doing great as well! Have I said that they are SO cute yet? The cream/blue tri doe and the cream/blue tri buck are on hold, and I'm pretty sure the black tort doe is too. And I am almost positive that I am keeping the torted black tri doe. So, that leaves the orange/black harlequin buck and a cream/blue tri buck!

Also, I got a couple pictures of Buttercup on the website finally! So, now I just have Daisy, Alicia, and Benji's pictures to do!

Colors~

Daisy's babies are doing great, they have alot of fuzz on them. They are so cute. And will be even cuter when they are a little older and they get their eyes open and all!

I looked at them all yesterday and these are the colors of the babies:
3 cream/blue tris
1 torted black tri
1 orange/black harlequin(?)
1 black tort

Also, Amanda is full of babies! I felt her belly again the day before yesterday and she is definetely prego. Yay! Can't wait for her to have them!

Babies!

Daisy had a litter of 6 kits on March 1st. So, it's been four days and they are all doing great so far. Daisy did everything perfect, this is her first litter! She had them all back in her cutely made nest, and had pulled quite a bit of fur. I haven't got a very close look at them all yet, but it looks like there are 5 brokens, and 1 solid and they look like healthy, good sized little babies!

She is in the basement since it is way too cold to be having babies in the barn. We have had a few really nice days, but now it's supposed to snow again. I hope it doesn't stay long and that it gets warmer and stays warm soon!

Amanda will be getting her nest box in a few days. So, will also be moving her into the basement as well. Okay, I have to admit that I am still not 100% sure that she is pregnant this time though... :( I really think she is!    (?)

Alicia is ready to be bred! I will be breeding her very soon to Benji, I'm pretty sure... Well, the last time I tried breeding Amanda to him, he would just not do his thing. Was totally not interested in the rabbit next to him! So, hopefully this time he will be. Him and Alicia should make beautiful babies! :)

Wow, 6 baby Hollands! It's been quite awhile since I've had a Holland litter! I'm an excitable one! :)
