So, 3 out of 5 litters accounted for :D Was only supposed to be 4, but my sister decided to get out of rabbits in order to have goats, so I got back the two mixed does from my rabbitry I had given her. The one doe is supposed to be bred!
Tootsie Roll and Candy Corn had 8

Still waiting on a litter from a mixed doe, due Monday and Midnight, due Wednesday, I think.

Both does are a result of a purebred NZW and Bugs, my mixed boy. I think this one may have resulted from hybrid vigor as she's larger than her parents... (Red eyes are from the flash...)
I think she's gorgeous, personally. Needs to lose a little weight though...lol

I still have to get some updated pictures of the NZs, but the Mini Rex are incredibly adorable! :love
It's been nothing but a pleasure to take them out and play with them every day! Looks like there are 4 females, 4 males in this batch :)

Cherry Cola and Blitz are growing beautifully! I can hardly wait until spring :celebrate
Apparently my flashlight was fascinating :rolleyes:

Pickpocket, NZ mix doe, and Tali's litters are all doing well. So far Tali's litter is my favorite based on growth rate at this point, but they're all doing really well! Planning to keep at least one from Tali's litter and maybe one from Pickpocket's depending on how they turn out. They are all either steel or super steel, so I'm leaning towards not, but I'm always tempted!

Ideally, I want black, red, blue, and white for my breeding lines, not chestnut or steel. I'm making good progress, though, I think, to that end :) I have no blacks, yet, though...
1 blue doe, 1 red doe, 1 white doe, 1 red buck, and 1 white buck. I also have a few miscellaneous does in steel and chestnut, but they will, hopefully, be replaced later. The tricky part would be finding more blues, but I'm ever hopeful :)

A quick update on the rabbits.
We're done breeding for the year! Ha! All the little pet babies have turned out beautifully. A good few have gone to their new homes and they are, naturally, the sweetest little cuties. I miss the ones that are gone and I'm growing ever more attached to the ones still here, so when they go, it will be bittersweet.
A little blurry, but I did manage to get the whole litter of Mini Rex in this shot!

Happy New Year, Everybunny!:celebrate
Well, starting to get the itch to start rabbit breeding again. My few remaining babies are over 3 months old now and this winter has been more typical temperature-wise. I'm considering breeding one of my NZs and bringing her in the house if the temps do decide to plummet about the time she's due.
I do have a spare cage. Hmm...:p
Cherry Cola and Cranberry Cocktail would make some beautiful reds for me and it would be a good trial run for both of them...Alright, I'm going to go for it and see what happens.
I need updated pictures - these are a few months old! :rolleyes:
