Oh Houdini.....

Well…..it’s been awhile since we had a Houdini post.   I thought maybe he was growing up and didn’t need such antics anymore.   I was wrong.   Last night I made burgers for supper.  I cooked an extra one for lunch.   I put it in my container to cool before I put the lid on and silly me I left it unattended.    Evidently he decided that wasn’t a good choice because when I came back out later it was on the floor.  Not for him to eat but just so I couldn’t eat it I guess.   I am guessing Dolly put him up to it because she ended up getting the burger.  Before the burger had been tossed to the floor I had put a bun in a baggie and set it by my purse so I wouldn’t forget it.   this morning I found the bun on the floor and ripped up just enough so that it was not edible.   Another Dolly conspiracy as she got that too.   Last week he pulled a bag of shredded cheese out of the garbage and threw that all over the floor, not once but twice.   This was a Jake conspiracy as he was the one that benefited when he snarfed it up on his way outside for the day.     Alyssa has left a bag of Doritos in the living room the last several days.   I am guessing that one day, quite possibly today, we will go home to find Dorito remains all over the living room floor.    Put the warning out……food is not safe at our house.  

Lots of babies

Where to start, so many updates again.  

These are Lollipop's first litter.  They are almost 4 months old now.  Here is Peter.    Still looking really good, hoping his color comes in more.

Here is Bart, his brother.   Still really liking him too and his color is looking really nice.

Here is Bart who thinks is he is part himalayan.  This is how Himalayan's pose, not dwarfs, silly Bart.

Here is Lollipop's most recent litter.    They are a little over 2 weeks old now and out of the nest box now.  Will be another week before I can tell if they are boys or girls.  Still super cute.  First pic they are a little over a week, 2nd pic is current.

Here is Delilah's most recent litter.    They are a little over 11 weeks old.  So far we are keeping all 3 and will let them grow up a little to see how they do.  First is Melman.

Then we have Julia.  

And Alex ( a girl)  lol

Here is a picture of Gloria who was Melman's foster sister.    She is around 11 weeks old.

Here is Lola's last litter. They are 11 weeks.
Mylie

And Marty

Lola had her babies on 03/07/12.  She had 2 but one was dead.    Since it is very hard for a single baby to stay warm when it's cold out, I took one of Lulu's babies to share the nest.  So far so good.  Lola has accepted the baby and is feeding it quite well.   Here they are a couple days after Lola's baby was born and  a current pic.

Lulu had her babies on the 6th.   First pic is when they were born, 2nd pic is a current pic.  They are 6 days old now.  So far it looks like we may only have a couple to keep and the rest will have to go to the pet shop.  

Here are Twinkie and Caramel who are on vacation at Rita's house and maybe becoming famous in pictures.

Friday night Mylie was sold to a 4H girl.  In the hurry we didn't get a picture of her and Alyssa before she left.  Saturday Moe, Sylvester, Marty, Gloria and Peanut Butter (runt) were sold to a 4H family.  Here are their pictures with Alyssa.  We will miss them terribly, but they are going to great homes.

Delilah was bred, will know in a couple of weeks if we will have more babies.  Lilly didn't take last time so will breed her the next round when we breed. 

Lollipop's babies

Lollipop had her babies a couple of days ago.    When I put the nestbox in her cage she dug all of the bedding and hay out and started to make her nest on the cage floor.  After awhile she figured it out and made the nest in the box.  Then she started pulling hair and pulling hair and pulling hair.   Her little underside is bald in spots but her babies are super warm.  She had 3 and so far they are doing great.  Looks like 2 little seals and a siamese sable.

First day they were born.

2 days old.  Not much different but I like to check on how the color is doing.

Delilah and Lilly were bred at the same time but must not have taken.  We will try them again today.  Lulu and Lola will be due in about a week and a half.    Seems like they are pregnant but hard to say.

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.
