Promise Acres Rabbit Thread

I so enjoyed looking at the pictures of all the litters of cute squirming kits. You have beautiful rabbits. I really like your lops. Love those long ears!

Well Show bred Zora today, twice she lifted... after about a week of putting her in to be bred.... I wasn't too crazy about him when I first got him. But he's looking better and has a great booty my Velveteens need. And he's an agressive breeder... probably the best one I have had in the Velveteen lops. Usually they give up after a few seconds.... palapated several does too. Am hopeful April is more fruitful than March....
Basal started sneezing, despite having spent $$$ on him I am thinking he just needs culled.... really sucks, so far no one else is acting sick or off... and with Show and Nairobi I should get better widths.

All but 1 Polish & 2 Velveteen lop does have been exposed. Going to put the 2 pet does outside and start weaning the 2 Feb litters.

4 does due this Thursday
Una is nesting!!!
Polka-dot is lazin around... in Jan she had hers on the wire so hopeful she cares for them this time around.
Pretty sure NAI did not settle... They usually don't just plop in their box like this but we'll see
Opa is due also, a chocolate mini rex. But she isn't nesting either... am starting to suspect our new MR buck Storm is Shooting blanks... he did breed two other does this morning.... so we'll see. Does are finally more willing...
am getting frustrated with the rabbits... have lost too many and no one is settling... New VL Basal was given a round of antibiotics. .. so hopeful he is better. And will be trying to get him to breed this week....

I hope they all kindle for you and you get lots of babies!

Polkadot had her 2nd litter! Much better this time, in the nest box and a lovely warm nest!

Una should go sometime tonight she’s pulling hair and making her nest.

Miss Ruby Johns NZ doe for meat pens is nesting already at day 19.

(Oops, sorry. Don't want to rattle the new moms with all that noise)

(I'm afraid to say anything, 'cause I don't want to jinx it, but I have two Netherland Dwarf first timers due tomorrow. Sshhhh.)

Looks like if John wants to show any jr mini rex we will be buying them... as Una crushed her litter overnight... raising rabbits sure sucks at times.
