Hi all, just wanted to share my Blue Silver Fox pair. I finally got around to taking some photos of them, and wondered if anyone else bred them. I like the Silver Foxes (temperament, growth rate, bone:meat), but I am not a fan of their coloration. My friends convinced me to get blues instead and I love them.
The buck, Elliot, is small and extremely shy with me but a very aggressive young breeder. He was 6lbs at 4 months.
The doe, Delilah, is much bigger and very friendly with me. She's also registered, though I won't be registering anybody. We are waiting until she is 6 months old to breed her for the first time. She was 8lbs at 4 months!

One day she stopped eating her pellets, but began eating large amounts of hay. A few days later, she refused her morning pets. The next morning, she was dead. She was pregnant so I'd thought her diet changes had to do with that, so I took no action. Now I feel pretty dumb. Not so sad anymore as this happened a few weeks ago, but still questioning whether or not rabbits are for our farm as they seem to have endless health issues.
