Sundragon Farms. The saga continues.

So sorry @Sundragons. The more I read about raising rabbits the more I think it isn't as easy as "They breed like rabbits".

Very true. Losing any animal is the hardest part. I try very hard to not form an emotional attachment to them, especially when they're so young and at risk. Same with the chickens and tortoises. There's always going to be some loss and you have to deal with it as it comes. We're trying our best, and doing everything we can, but sometimes it just isn't enough, and you have to be prepared to accept that.

Doesn't make it suck any less, and doesn't make you stop second guessing what you did to see if there's anything you could have done differently that would have made a difference.

And then you get something like this to end the day on a positive note. This little Chestnut Agouti VM Holland Lop doe went to a fellow rabbiter here in AZ for her BEW program Tonight she sent me this update. Her name's now Scooter and they're thrilled with her. Makes it all worth it when you get a good match.

Baby ND, about a week old. I think it's a broken sable marten because of the tan ears. @Bunnylady, that seem right to you? Buck is broken silver marten, doe is chestnut. markings are very similar to Daddy's, but daddy has no tan.

Wow. When I click on the picture, it gets so big, I can see fingerprints!

I'm thinking possibly Broken Black Otter, maybe maybe Broken Chin, but more likely, Broken Chestnut. You'll get a better idea in another week or two.

Interesting! Will definitely have to watch this one then and see.

If you're on BYC you may have seen this over there when I posted it just now, but I'm posting it here too because we're super excited!

Found this little one under one of our Barred Rocks when I went to pick her up and put her on a perch. Had no idea we'd had a hatch at all, and this is our very first. Woo!

There's also this silliness going on. That's mom's pellet dish they're curled up in. ~12 days old, eyes open, and wandering in and out of the box.
