Dinner rabbits, Journal

[secuono]

Rest of the nestlings

 

[secuono]

And today.

$797 currently in the red.
Plus $285 in bun sales.
Plus $20 in dog food.

Currently $492 in the red.

Such a big sale, yet didn't put a big dent in the dollars. Lol, at least it put a dent in bun numbers!

What happens when its 20s amd then 60s the next day? All the feed bags are WET. Dry inside, but dang slippery!



Bye!!
7 adults/juniors out the door and 3 kits! Lots of empty cages, love it!
*do not fill them! do not fill them!!*


Tanya kits & Jessi kits out in the 5ft cage.


Freckles kits moved in with Gigi & kits.
Had to move RM14 over so the nest would fit easily on.


And Vickie kits moved in with Nana & kits.

I guess the white paws are not allowed/wanted???? I know next to nothing about rabbits/colors/ etc... but I think the white paws are cute... might be a selling point for a pet rabbit???

Usually proof of mini rex used, as its rampant in minis. They're supposed to be rex, standard sized, and are pedigreed. The color pattern isn't allowed in the breed.
So, not a good thing at all.

It's a runt, much smaller than the others. Can only hope it makes it and then finds a pet home. Unlikely, but I'll list it either way.
Maybe this pic shows it better.

Silly bun


Lynx's kits, lilacs and lilac otter.


Unnamed's kits, also fat n happy


Cocoa kits fat n happy.

Double the kits, not double the problem. Lol



Sisters, that one is always laying on the other.

Finally named the three does.
Licorice (black) & Fennel, and Sugar for the new mom.

Moved 6 Jessi kits to cull cage.
Then moved the 4 SF in with the other two litters in the 5ft cage.

There were 3 in there after the pic...



Ugh, they're all terrible. One litter all are being culled, another 6 are being culled. One is pending sale. Might have 2 buyers for 2 does each later on from these and younger litters.




Moved 3 does from bottom cages up to middle or top cages, just to make it easier.

Moved Quin's kits to Yynx's nest. She's been very growly & jumpy the last week. Bred her fat arse after she lost most of her kits, so she's due a nest Wednesday. She was lunging at the kits today, so finally moved them out.

Bred Tipsy. Goliath thought about it, but ended up not interested enough. Ugh.

Aqua was bred to Rivian. Once yesterday and once today. He's back to being pretty lazy. Definitely going to sell him soon. Not worth the annoyance.


Moved another doe out of a bottom cage and to a middle cage.
First 1.5ft should be poo, lol. Just too low and dark down there...And bucks...



Winter kits are horribly lagging!
Absolutely abysmal...
So, so many culls. Should probably go ahead and do that asap. At this size, its 2-3 per dog.




Have mercy, such bad numbers...
Looks like I won't keep any from-
Zero
Yynx
Gigi

Can cull all from Jessi and use Goliath, keep kit from them. Same with Yynx.

Gotta check parent weights, Quin & Nana. If kits are worse, will cull whole litters.

Check Jasper to the Freckles kits. If he grew better, cull all.


Got most culled.

Left the biggest few to grow a few weeks longer, since parent weights are between 6wk and 7wk.

Then have some people interested in Vickie& Yynx kits, so left all of them.

Grumpy kit



Looks like another steeled blue otter was born, but out of Rexs.


Widy. Steeled blue otter 50/50.




The Quin kits n fosters in Yynx nest n kits. Dumped and refilled all of the nests after the pic.
4wks and still using nests. Winter is too cold for them to be out in the cage at 2-3wks old. Their nest was removed last night. Others tonight.

Got some does bred. Tried to get Ebony bred, willing, but Goliath is still not getting it. He tries and humps, doe lifts, but nothing. Hopefully, in the next few days he'll get it right.

14×Rivian
Gigi×Zippy
Nana×Gold

Then I realized that I've got too many bucks again...Rivian, Gold, Jasper, Baymax, Goliath, Hamlet & Zippy.



Sugar's kits and petting her, too.



Gigi. Wide shoulders. Bean shaped from top, she still doesn't like to pose. Just need her to raise decent kits, not duck egg sized culls....






Lynx kits



Cocoa kits



$492 in the red.
Plus two bun sales of 30 & 10 in dog food.

Currently $452 in the red.





Ella, first timer, had her kits!

 

[secuono]

Hello n kits
This one was squeaking up a storm, mom came over. Picked it up, it peed on me, then went back to sleep. Lol




Quin had her kits!
10! One wee runt, it later passed.



$452 in the red. Plus 34 in bun sale and dogfood.

Currently $418 in the red.




Looks like I've got 7 bucks and 19 does. I feel like I need to narrow it down some...Thought I did, but apparently not enough! If I didn't bother with the SF projects, I could remove 5 adults. But they're fun...but I guess not great shapes to them? I'll have to look them over and decide.
