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.

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.
