Updates

Yesterday we had our first show of the season.  It was quite fun but I had forgotten how tiring it is.....lol   It was a really big show and the rabbits we took did ok.   We sold Nesquick and she will be going to a very nice home and will be a 4H rabbit and a mom someday.  

Alyssa entered Ace and Lulu in the dress a bunny contest as a king and queen.  They looked so cute and she placed in the top ten.  This year they only gave out 3 places and then 7 honorable mention trophies.

Delilah's babies are a little over a month old now.    Here is Alex, a doe.

 Here is Julia, a doe.

And here is Melman, a buck.

Lilly's baby is also a little over a month old.  Her name is Gloria.

Lola's babies are also a little over a month.     Here is Marty, a buck, the dark one and Mylie, a doe, the gray one.

Lollipops babies are about 8 weeks old.   Here is Bart.  He went to the show yesterday but we didn't show him.  Thought we'd get him used to it. He is showing great promise and we can't wait for him to get a little older to see how he looks.

Here is Peter.  He went to the show yesterday and the judge said he was a very nice junior but just couldn't beat the seniors, wasn't quite filled out enough.   The breeder work with even said if we didn't want him she would take him so that made us feel good that maybe we will get a show rabbit from one of our babies.

We have picked out 3 of Lulu's babies that we will be keeping for awhile to see how well they show.   Here are the ones that will be finding new homes soon.

And here are the ones that we will be keeping.  Copper, Todd and Chief.

Here is Lulu and her babies we are keeping.

Bella went to the show and didn't do too bad.   She's a little thin so we will need to feed her cheerios and toast for a little bit to get her to gain a little weight.  She LOVES cheerios.  Actually all the rabbits go crazy for them. 

And we haven't had Max on here for awhile, so here he is and and with Alyssa.

And here is a picture of Alyssa from when she went to the Winter Formal a couple of weeks ago.

The top drawer of Alyssa's dresser is broken so Houdini has decided this is a good places for him to sleep I guess....lol

Babies

The babies are a little bit older now than in this picture but we were able to get them all lined up for a picture.  Aren't they cute?

Here are all of the rest of the babies together.

Here are Lilly's baby and Lola's babies

Delilah's babies

Cute Babies

 Here are Lollipop's babies.  They are almost 7 weeks old now.  Separated Nesquick and Bart today, will probably advertise Nesquick next week to find her a new home.

Nesquick

Bart

Peter

Lulu's babies are 3 weeks old now and have discovered how to get in an out of the nestbox.  They started eating pellets and hay today and were busy driving Lulu crazy....

Lola's babies are 2 weeks old and their eyes are open now.    Won't be long and they will be out venturing too.

Lilly's baby is about a week and a half and it's eyes are open too.   Still quite a bit bigger than Lila's babies but Lilly is still taking good care of both of them.  Here is Lilly's baby.

Lilly's baby and her foster baby from Lila.

Lila's baby.

Lila's babies are about a week and a half old too and looks like they will be Simese Sable rather than Smoke Pearl like I thought.

Babies

Checked on the babies today.   Lila's babies are doing better.  She finally pulled fur and looks like she has been feeding them, they have nice round bellies.  But unfortunately it looks like we do have a peanut, that one is not growing at all.  You can see the size difference here.

It looks like Lilly has accepted Lila's extra baby and she is doing a good job feeding it, another nice round belly.  I am hoping they will get to be closer to the same size.  There is still quite a difference but you can see the nice little round bellies on them.

Lulu's babies are 2 weeks old now and are getting sooooo cute.  They are starting to get out of the nest box now.

Neko, what a big baby.  Has to lay by my feet under the computer and now has a pillow to lay on too.....must have fallen from the couch because I certainly didn't put it there....lol

Blessed with babies.

We have definitely been blessed with babies lately.     Me luvs the babies.

Our oldest baby Alfie, (Lilly's baby) was 9 weeks old and went to her new home on Friday.  A young man was getting her for his sister for Christmas.  She was super cute and we will miss her but I am sure she will love her new home.

Next we have Lollipop's babies who are 5 1/2 weeks old now.   First is Nesquick who unless her colors really change she will be sold in a couple of weeks.

\\

Still not sure about Peter, will need to wait a few weeks and see how he looks then.

Same with Bart, color looks good and as long as his ears don't grow really long, maybe he will be a keeper.

Next we have Lulu's babies who are now 2 1/2 weeks old.  There eyes are open and they are getting around quite well.  Haven't looked them over too closely yet but did see a couple that don't have the right markings and will need to go to the January show to be sold.

Lola had a litter of 3 but one didn't make it.  They are 5 days old now.  So far it looks like we will have a smoke pearl and a seal (not showable).

Lilly had 1 baby on Friday.  So far looks like it will be a blue otter like Alfie was. Since it was the only one in the litter it might get too large to keep but we will see.

Delilah had 4 babies last night when I got home.  She wasn't a very good mom though and had them on the wire and didn't even pull any hair.  They are all still alive this morning but one looks like a peanut so we may lose that one.  The peanut is the dark one in the center, he's smaller and his back legs look weird.  Since Lilly only had one baby I gave her one of Delilah's to help even it out, we will see how that goes.  I should know tonight if Lilly has accepted it and is feeding it.  I do worry about the size difference however  as you can see in the 2nd picture.

Updates

Yes, it's been quite awhile since I have updated this....UGH....life got in the way.   These pictures are just from the last month or so and as soon as I can get the other pictures from my other computer I will get older pictures up.

This is Lilly's baby.  Kirby is the dad.    I just realized she doesn't have a name yet.   We have been going back and forth if she is staying or not.  I will have to have Alyssa give her a name...lol  She would be a couple weeks old in these pictures.

Here is Lilly and her baby who is about a month old here.

We bred Lollipop and Kikki and since she was a first time mom we didn't expect her babies to live but she had 3 babies which not only lived but are doing very well and are a week and a half old.   2 of them have their eyes open and the last should be open shortly.    Here is Lolli getting ready to build her nest

Here are the babies the first day they were born.

3 days old

Week and half old.   You can really start to see their color now.   We have a smoke pearl, a himilayan with a dirty coat and looks like a seal.  Alyssa hopes it's a chocolate so we can keep it but, I don't think either parent carries chocolate, so I guess we will see.

Here is snowball, he was born on 08/4/11.   He went to his new home last week to live with Charlotte and Darlene.   We were sad to see him go but he wasn't showable and we already have one himi boy to use for breeding.   Can't wait to see him at the fair.

Here is Moe, his sister.   We are still not sure if she will be staying but we will probably take her to the January show to see how she does.   I love her color but her ears are getting just a little bit long.  Snowball had the best ears of the two so we are hoping next litter we get a nice color with good ears.   Here's hoping.

Here is Sylvester.  He is 6 months old.   He has gotten quite huge and so we are not sure if he will be staying yet either.   I still like the way he looks and his color has gotten better but we will see how he does at January show.  

And evidently the cats had a very hard day this day and were all napping at the same time....lol

I am hoping sometime in the next few weeks to get the pictures from the old computer so we can get some older pictures but I will try to keep this updated more frequently....lol
