Grumpy's kits-
Such long, fluffy fur!

Amber had her kits!
8 of them! She moved all of the fur & hay around her cage into the nest, then pulled more fur!

Getting the winter crocks in place. Gotta fence them in bc they love to flip them & hurl them all over the place.
4 done, 3 ready to install, several more to go.

Sunday-
I need a better way to weigh them or at least, a stand for the bin, because I can't read what it says!

8 days between weigh-ins.

Almost 5# for my big girl! She has the best profile shape. Going to keep her.

Whitefoot has the best shape of the bucks & is 2nd biggest in group. Thinking of keeping him for now. If a faster buck is in another litter, he'll be replaced.

9wks and 3~ are almost 5#.




Forgot to get live weight & before deboning weight.

They are really growing good. The last group are kinda cute with their ears "too big" for their bodies... I know they will grow into the ears... but they are cute. Well, they are the ones before your last post... Mutty's kits.
Looks like they are putting on a good carcass for you for eating.

Saw velveteen lop kits on FB the other week.
Ears are almost normal size at birth, then just shoot out!
They're hilarious looking.

Wow, what a difference the way the ears grew on those kits.... they do look about normal at tiny babies... "pinocchio ears"
