Sundragon Farms. The saga continues.

Me too. Suffice it to say that based on the mom and dad, what I'm seeing should not be possible unless one's carrying dilute somewhere.

Any chance of sable martin?
Dilutes sure can pop up out of no where.

Weaned and sexed today. Annoyingly, the best looking ones are all bucks! I may still keep one of the brokens anyway, because broken.

These are 2 bucks and a doe. Still insure of color, leaning toward black otter with silver ticking, but waiting to see how they shed out to be sure.

2 brokens. Struggling for colors here.One's definitely looking broken chestnut, and the other I was leaning broken black otter. The Chestnut though shoud not be possible according to rabbit register, so maybe broken sable chin? Either way, both bucks.View attachment 48416

These blacks are my pedigree line, 2 bucks and a doe. I'll hold on to them a bit longer and see if they have show potential before I pet them out. One of them will be staying though to forward the line. The blue in the back is looking blue marten today. Initially thought he was chin but definitely not.

Just loving the colors on these two. They're officially on hold, a client fell for the entire litter.

Cute bunnies!

New phone, new camera. What else am I supposed to do but take pics?

Thirsty Hedgehog. Come to think of it, that might be a good name for a Pub.

"Can we come out? Please?"

This little one is a bit runty, so we gave her some extra feed.

Annd just did bed check. Had 2 Hollands that were due 29th, so any day. One is one of my established does and even though she generally has good litters, sometimes she'll drop a kit on the wire instead of in the box. She delivered 4 healthy babies this morning. I bred her to my VM blue eyed buck, so I'm hopeful we'll get some good Vienna traits from her litter. 3 lights and a dark that looks like an otter. Man, a blue eyed black otter would be the bomb!

To our surprise, the first time doe I bred the same day actually delivered too. I didn't feel kits when I palpated her, she has shown zero signs of nesting, and so I'd given up. Turns out that was a mistake, she pulled overnight and made a nest in her litter box, of all places, with her dinner hay. Unfortunately she lost one, but I transplanted her and the baby to a larger cage with a nice box, so hopefully she can raise the other one. We'll keep an eye on her since this is her first litter, but I'm pretty excited.

Well, Suck. Toothless (the first time mom) tossed her kit out of the nesting box sometime today while we were gone, and it did not make it. I expected it, but it still makes me sad.
