Well, it was another great weekend overall! I did manage to get lots of pictures done of the rabbits and we got to visit one of my favorite rabbit people. The weather was great most of the weekend and the rabbits seemed to enjoy picture time out on the new deck. I updated the site with a lot of new pictures. My plan is to get every rabbit we own up on the site soon. I still have to get some pictures of our new litters up too!
The litter of 5 Mini Rex are growing like weeds, they're all blacks but at least they will carry the blue genes. Unfortunately we lost all 3 Hollands of Allie's.
We had 2 more litters since Friday:
Grace, a chocolate Dutch doe bred to Twitch had 5 blacks yesterday morning (2 really nicely marked).
Casey, a tort Holland bred to Moe had 5 big healthy babies this morning, 4 brokens and one solid.
So as I mentioned, we got to visit one of my all time favorite rabbit people this weekend, our good friend Lloyd Jenkins. Unfortunately he isn't able to show anymore, but he still enjoys his rabbits as a hobby and is still breeding some nice show quality animals.
Sunday was rainy so we decided to take a little day trip to his rabbitry. He had a ton of juniors for us to help sort through and I managed to take 4 home with me, 3 Hollands and 1 Mini Rex, as well as 2 senior Mini Rex does and Holland lop senior doe. There were lots of nice looking rabbits to see.
He has this one in particular who is absolutely stunning. He's a holland lop buck named Peanut. I remember 2 years ago seeing him in the nest box at 6 weeks...I wish I would have taken a picture of him that day, because I've never seen anything like him before. He did show once, and at only 10 weeks got BOSB as well as an honorable mention from the judge at the end of the show. He's probably one of my favorite rabbits.
Our visit with Lloyd took all day yesterday so we didn't get a chance to get started on our new cages yet. We should have that done this weekend if not before! Well I have to run, class is almost over and I have to go pick up my critters at Mom's since I didn't have time to take them home before class (we had an event this morning). Don't forget to check out our site updates! www.kritterkorner.net
