10/6/12 New Litters/Addition

Cinnabun and Rocky had 6 kits each, totaling 4 reds, 4 coppers, 2 broken coppers, and 2 broken reds. 2 of the coppers and one of the broken coppers are already reserved, so if you see anything you like be sure to contact me soon, before all these kits find homes :-)  Some of the reds will definitely be available, and likely the remaining coppers too. The broken reds will not be for sale. 

In other news, we have a 13th addition to the barn as of this morning :-) Sterling Satins is expanding back into whites with the addition of a new stud buck.Thanks Blue Haven Rabbitry! I'm thinking "Yeti" as a barn name :-)  He's young but already filling out nicely. Gorgeous fur and HQ's.

Tippecanoe 4-H Show

Took 7 of my Satins from the last two litters down to the Tippecanoe 4-H show today. It was a pretty small show but very fun and a lot of really nice people. Liked the judge for Satins too (Ron Riddle). My red junior doe (A4) took BOV and my junior copper buck (X) took BOSV. Also sold all 4 of my reds while I was there. All I have left for sale right now is a Junior Copper doe. So glad that I was able to clear out cages in preparation for the two new litters I'm expecting next week. Very excited! I know I'll get good things from Cinnabun and I'm hoping that Lilo (the newbie mom) will figure it out the first time :)

Litters, Show, and New Breeding

Have some rabbits for sale. I bred Cinnabun and Ace to Rudi and the babies were born on November 7th. They are now almost 4 months old and most of them are for sale. All together we had nine, 3 from Ace and 6 from Cinnabun. All had to be fostered to Cinnabun b/c Ace never produced milk. Unfortunately, Cinnabun developed Mastits from overmilking and some of the kits being a bit to rough, so i had to take her babies out at 3 weeks, but she recovered and is perfectly healthy now. The kits were never put back in with her but I didn't lose any and we actually are having pretty good growth rates. They are definitely big enough to show. Speaking of showing, I'm taking them to the Tippecanoe 4-H show weekend after next. Going to show all 9 if not sold by then and maybe Rudi too. Some will be for sale at the show.

Broken Copper From Cinnabun

Red from Cinnabun

Also, I bred Lilo and Cinnabun again to Rudi (I really liked the results of Cinnabun x Rudi's last breeding) on the 10th. Will be watching Cinnabun closely to make sure she doesn't develop mastitis again. If they both took, this will be Cinnabun's second litter and Lilo's first.
