New News

Hi. I went camping over the weekend it was fun!!! My grandma watched the animals while we were gone. Well, I guess after we left, she went to the rabbitry, and Oreo was found dead in his cage. :( She said he looked fine, he had food and water, she said it looked like he went to sleep and didnt get back up. So, im puzzled. I miss him, but luckily we have some babies from him. When I came home Shasta's runt was dead (and they had just opened there eyes). :( But Shasta has 2 golds and 1 tort. BUT....we did have a couple litters over the weekend!!!! Creampuff had 7 babies, all Lilacs. :) And Melody had 5. :) They are so sweet!!! :D Im not sure if I told you or not but a while ago, I had to give Charlie back, there was a misunderstanding. Well, the owner of Charlie broke up with Sams dad, so we got Charlie back, and there wont be any more misunderstandings. ;) I also cleaned the rabbitry today. I got a 3 hole stacker, and some more carrying cages. Well, I plan to get some pics of the babies tonight, and post them sometime maybe tommorow. :) TTYL.

There are 2 golds, and 2 torts. 3 of them are HUGE, 1 of them is TINY, like the size of my pinky. The little runt, is just as strong though. ;) Bear never had babies, she misscarried.

Hi. Sorry it took me so long to get on here, I have been busy. Anyways, heres the results:
Bear: Grand Champion
Snickerdoodles: Blue
Melody: Blue, Red in fur
Dutchess: Blue, Red In Fur
Nakita: Blue (judge REALLY liked her, lost to color of coat)
Roasters: Researve Champion
Fryers: Didnt make weight :(
Oakey: Researve Champion
Creampuff: Blue
Buddy: Blue
Ash: Blue
Secret Score: Went over weight..white
Roman: Went over weight..white
Blue: Blue (Judge REALLY liked him, lost to lack of maturity)

I got a blue in showmanship, and got called back, into the 2nd round. I think I lost due to my lack of the hard knowlege. On sunday, I walked over to my bunnies, and Bear was pulling HAIR! I had put her in with Charlie, but nothing happened. (Or so i thought). So, I took her home, and canceled her BIS class. Well, I think she misscarried *urgg*. Charlie had to go back home, Angela wanted him back. Oh, and Sam got Grand Champion in showmanship. Marvin got a white. She did really well for her first year. ;) We also came home with a few bunnies, lol. Even though we said we wouldnt, we did. Sam agreed to let all the bunnies stay at her house, though. ;) Sam got 2 Himilayian/Mini Rex, 1 Netherland Dwarf, 1 Mini Rex buck, and 1 Mini Rex doe. I got 1 Mini Rex buck, named Silver. :) I was gonna get a Jersey Wooly, but he got sold. :( This lady's name was Margret. She gave us all these bunnies for free. :D I also went over to her house Monday to pick up a Netherland Dwarf doe with a one week old litter of crossbreed babies. The doe is all black, she is sweet. (The lady said she was mean). I also got her for free. Here's the story:

Me and my grandma went over to her house (FYI: This lady and daughter are moving to Virginia this week). We went into her rabbitry, and it was HORRIBLE! These were nice stacking cages, and here trays were a foot deep with manure. The bunnies looked like (TAKE ME HOME!), Plus the cages were COVERED with cobwebs, you could hardly see the bunnies, AND NONE of the bunnies had food or water. The lady hands me the doe, and she is SKIN AND BONES! SKINNY! The lady was like: "She is gonna be a little skinny, cause of her babies". Im sorry but a doe cant be as skinny as she was, just from a litter! So, we took her home, and her nestbox had 7 babies in it. 5 white, 2 brown. Very cute. Her nestbox SMEllED BAD! So, we put all the babies in another nestbox. She got LOTS of food, hay, and water. She is happy now. Her babies have there eyes open. :D I gave Shasta her nestbox today. She is due Saturday. This will be her last litter, before retirement. :) TTYL.

FAIR!!!

Hi. Fair is coming up! This coming weekend! Friday is vet check + cage assignments, saturday is fair, and sunday is fair!! It will be a TON of fun!! :D All the bunnies are doing good. We cleaned the cages yesterday, and sprayed down the trays. We also cleaned off hutch stains on the bunnies (they got a little bath, hehe). Some of the rabbits had sore hocks, so I treated them with antibotics. Im hoping vet check will let them in. I bred Creampuff to Oakey, and Melody to Harley. So, we will be having litters soon! :) Theres a quick update. Wish me luck for fair! :D TTYL.

Hi. Well this week has been interesting. Ok, so first off we got another baby goat named Fred (dad named him). He looks like Izzy. Then, Sam's rabbit Thumper had 7 babies 3 weeks ago, Thumper died, and so did one baby, so Im bottle feeding them. Coco also had babies, but they are 7 weeks old. Coco was killed by something, so I took her 3 too. Im keeping one of Cocos babies, a blue doe with PERFECT markings!! And maybe 1-2 of Thumpers. Sam lost a few bunnies these past couple weeks. Blueberry, Emolly, Thumper, Coco, Bambi, and Cinnamon. I dont know why, but they died. :( And, then I fell in love with Sam's step sisters bunny, Charlie. So, I took him home. ;) I let him run around the rabbitry today. ;) I also bred Shasta to Oreo (i think i told you in the last post). There's a quick update. :) TTYL.

Long Time, No Post..

Hi. Sorry for the lack of updates, we have been busy. Izzy is still alive and she is getting big! She is 10 days old. :) We also got another abonded goat, this time a boy and his name is Floyd (dad named him). He is 5 days old today. ;) They are both doing great! The day before yesterday, we had to put down one of the baby pigs. I wont go into details, but it happened to be my favorite one. :( I also cleaned out the rabbitry a few days ago. I bred Shasta to Oreo last night. I also chose my fryers and roasters. My roasters got tatoo'ed and my fryers will tommorow. Im pretty happy with my roasters. A little long in shoulder, but I was able to choose 3 NICE looking ones, that are coming into there shoulders. ;) My fryers are looking awesome. Nothing to complain there. If anything shorter shoulders, but they are developing into there shoulders, as well.

Well, a friend of mine last year came and got a Dutch buck from me. Well, now they have ND and want to breed to Blue, I accepted, and in exchange I will get first pick of the litter. :D Did I mention the doe they want to breed is a tort?? Double :D :D. LOL. Anyways theres a update. ;) TTYL.
