Dinner rabbits, Journal

$185 in the red. 18 bags of manure for the garden.

Currently $113 in the red.


G + most of the sf & mixes.

Top row- Alaskan Red doe. Needs more silvering on head and wider, higher shoulder.
Middle row- G. Rex. Molting like crazy. His weight seems to of stabilized. He's still horribly annoying to get breeding! But his kits grow faster! So, I'm putting up with him...Kept a son, will see how he does and if kits still grow well or not.
Bottom row- Jet, Great silvering, great width, great mailbox hind shot! Maybe more depth and less "everyone is out to get me" mentality...


Top row- Ella's replacement. Gotta work on fur and shoulder width.
Middle row- I wonder if I should just cull Unity one out or not. Unity×Goliath
Bottom row- Bracing forward and leaning, but not awful. Widy's replacement. Needs work on sf fur.


Top row- The aggressive ahole. Love his silvering, needs a better personality and loin.
Middle row- Jet's daughter. Great weight! Great silvering, great shape. Nothing to complain about here!
Bottom row- Hmm, compact, but he should help with the awful mandolin shape most sf have! He's leaning, but liking his shape overall. Glad I kept him! Bred for the first time yesterday, so we'll see if he can pass on his good looks!

Currently $103 in the red.

She and 2 bucks sale failed. Ugh.
Cobalt had her kits successfully, another first timer not failing. 5 isn't enough kits, so I was right to cull her, but hopefully someone will want her and the 8 kits...
Cobalt×Zippy, had 5. Gave her 3 of Lynx×Rivian/Zippy kits from sep 30th. Was using Tealy to keep them going until Cobalt kitted. We'll see if they can bounce back.



Rex Coral was bred to Rivian, bc G wasn't in the mood. Getting nest tonight.
Newest Rex doe bred to G, but not sure it was successful, so also bred to Rivian. Nest on Tuesday.
Back to G not interested, so Puff bred to Rivian. Nest Thursday.
Saturday nests, Malty bred to Digit. And Tealy bred to G.
Gotta clean up the nests in storage!


$103 in the red. 18 in poo sales.

Currently $85 in the red.

He's interested in future bulk orders!

And he hesitantly asked what I use them for. His face lit up when he understood I ate them.
Now I may have a buyer at $7 pound, butchered, too!!

$85 in the red. Sale of 19 hides & a bunch of lost kits at 184.

Currently $99 in the green.

Freezer will finally be empty! But I have bun pelts in the deep freezer to go. Will try to dry them for dog treats or something...
need to make as much room as possible, bc our bull will be going in!



Oh. The sheep for dog food...
Lasted 6 days for 2 dogs. Since it's sheep, I'll make it $5 a meal.
6×2=12. 12×5=60.

Currently $159 in the green.


Made a smaller carrier. Was 4in too narrow, so it's a two-hole vs a three-hole. But at least 2 buns can ride in the front now and not the hot back.
I just need to find a pan for it.
21.5L×12.5W to 22×13 sized pan.



And Fennel just sold to Maine!
$159 in the green. And 35 Fennel sale. Plus 3 culls for dog food at 6.

Currently $200 in the green!

Writing Fennel's pedigree and I realized that I F up. She & Sugar are actually 3rd generation!
Which means Malty & Vapor are 4th gen, and their future litters will be 5th generation! Basically pure Silver Fox!
I need to calculate the Alaskan Reds now....
Two are torts, I'll have to look into the others.
The tort originally came from a pure SF, just no pedigree, if you can trust a 4H kid.
But the current torts were bred to a broken tort, and broken is back on 3gen, not pure. Doesn't that set back the torts? Idk how all this works...lol.

$200 in the green. Cobalt & kits + Inky sale.

Currently $270 in the green.

Three bucks and one doe left to sell or cull. 3 I'm ready to cull, but the newest buck I'll keep a bit if not sold to get some kits, then cull as well.


Coral pregnancy failed. Bred to G and Vapor, the broken Sugar buck. Sure hope her 3rd try works out....

Cruella feels preg, currently napping in her nest, but it's clean.

Cruella had 6! Tiny count, but it could of been worse. Interesting color on two, rews??
She's a nest sitter, but since she didn't toilet in there, I left her be until after she had them. Now has a box of hay to nap in.
Bred to Goliath and Rivian as backup.
Cruella, carries chocolate, non extension & dilute.

Goliath, has blue, REW and himi in his pedigree.

So, those two may be my first rews!
