Daisy's Babies

Well, a few pages on my website are not letting people go to them. :( I went to the library a couple days ago and got Daisy's babies pictures on there, and when I got home it wouldn't let me go to the in the nest box page, the bunnies for sale page, or the contact me page! It will let me see home, the mini lops, and I haven't tried the others yet... how frustrating! :(

So, I'm back at the library, and I will put a few pictures on here of the babies!

Harlequin buck:



Torted Black Tri - Colored doe (1):



Cream/Blue Tri - Colored buck:



Orange/Black Tri - Colored buck *My Mom wants me to keep this one! :) I'm thinking on it.*



Orange doe:



Torted Black Tri - Colored doe (2):



Black Tort buck:



All of them!


Just a few comments on these babies: They are all very cute and a few of them are really fluffy! The 2 Torted Black tri does have really good tri color markings. The cream/blue tri buck is actually looking like just a broken cream, and then the orange/black tri buck only has black under his ears! The orange doe is so pretty, the black tort has a super nice little head and is SO extremely cute, and the harlequin is definitely the fluffiest! :)

Just a cute picture! :) Daisy with the broken cream buck:


And another cute picture! :) This is the little broken chinchilla doe, Alicia's baby:


Okay! Sorry about those pages on my website not being able to be viewed right now! I will try to figure out what's going on ASAP!

Other bunny news: Mindy is due in 3 days! I'm excited! And all of the other buns are doing great! Molting like crazy though! :)

Have a great day!

Hey All!

I'm dog sitting for a family we know right now, and meanwhile... they have high speed internet! :) So, I am really enjoying that. I put a lot of new pictures of the bunnies on the website, rabbitry pictures, and am working on the for sale page, and the nest box page. I have 3 more bucks to get on the for sale page, and then I took all the 3 week old pictures of Alicia's ADORABLE babies today, just need to get them downloaded and then will try to get them on the website tomorrow!

Okay, so I'll go ahead and put a few pictures on here of everyone I got new pictures of on the website!

Guess What???

Not about rabbits, but still special news ~ my Mom is going to have another BOY!!! :) She is due Jan. 9, 2012, and we are very excited! :)

Okay, now to the bunnies! Alicia is due tomorrow, she has her nest made and is a big girl. She is such a cutie!

I bred Moose and Daisy the 17th. Daisy to Tom, and Moose to Blueberry. Then, if Moose decides not to take care of her babies again (but I'm really hoping she'll be a good mama this second time around) I can slip the babies in with Daisy's and she can foster them. Daisy is the best Holland lop mommy around!

There are still the 2 black bucks, and the 2 broken black bucks (I might keep one of them) left from Amanda's litter. They are all so cute! The little ones are enjoying them!

Well, that's about it for now! Have a great day everyone!!! :)

Just a Nice Letter~

I just got this email from someone who bought one of Daisy's babies from her first litter, the cream/blue tri colored doe. I am always happy to hear how bunnies are doing in their new homes! :)

Hi Ashley, 
Just wanted you to know that "Jazzy" is doing well. The cut on her ear healed fine but somehow she got another one on the edge that has left a permanent nick in her ear but that just makes her unique in our eyes! I wanted to tell you that she showed well for Dalton at the fair. She received the top purple in her class and got to go back for champion rabbit but unfortunately she didn't win it. However, we realize she is still young and have big hopes for her next year. We may possibly breed her to our chinchilla holland lop buck who is a little smaller and stockier than she is with a bit bigger head. The judge said he was by far the best rabbit out there last year.  He got Grand Champion in 2010 but this year she said his coat was a little rough. (If you have any tips for that we'd be grateful to hear them!). I still check your website from time to time. Your latest litter sure was cute! We will keep you in mind if ever we need another Holland Lop.
Sincerely,
Brenda Gregory

N.T.O.P. Rabbit Show!!!

On Sunday we went to the N.T.O.P. ARBA show in Crete. I showed 5 bunnies: Blueberry, Tom, Mindy, Alicia, and Amanda. These are their placings~

Alicia - 5/8 in open
Amanda - 4/9 in open
Mindy - 2/2 in youth
Tom - NP in open
Blueberry - 3/13 in open

Very happy with Blueberry's placing! :) Amanda's placing was very good as well. Alicia placed pretty good, the judge's comments on Mindy were that she has great bone, fair head and ears, lacks some depth, and the judge said that Tom has a fabulous head, just his body lacks depth, and is too narrow.

Came home with 6 bunnies, :) I got an adorable little chocolate sable Mini lop doe at the show. She is simply beautiful, a very promising little girl. She has amazing body type, great depth, and a beautiful head. More on her soon!

It was a fun time and I learned alot! Like always! :)
