Oh the bunnies....:)

Hi. Hmm, bunnies are so intresting. I love my bunnies, dont get me wrong, they are just so much work sometimes. I think its the cleaning the cages that gets me....I guess it wouldn't be that bad if the poop didn't get caught, and build up in the cage. Oh well. Im excited to get really involved with the Dwarfs. Im making some big decisions about moving bunnies out. Im really considering who is worth staying, and who isn't.
Melvin is doing GREAT. His wry neck went away with antibiotics. Im so glad we caught it in time. He is such a great bunny, and he definatly has a permanent home here, he is very special to the whole family. =]
One of Daisy's babies got out. Her feeder was kinda falling out, and so this same chesnut VM buck kept getting out. And this morning I went out to feed, and he was no where to be found. I kept going back in to make sure I hadn't missed him. I was so sad that something had happened to him. But then tonight I went in, and Buddy was out, and he came hopping up to me, and then there was the baby bunny sitting there. I was so happy! =D He is a little tramatized, so I hope he is okay. I then decided to go ahead and type him, since I need to replace his mom, and he has perfect type! He has flawless type, and he will be perfect for the BEW's. I will be keeping him, and I will check the other babies, and see if anyone else is worthy enough to hold back. =] Well have a good night! TTYL. =]

Great Weekend

Hi. This past weekend was Spring Rabbit Fair. It was so much fun!! Friday at about 5pm we went in to vet check my rabbits. I decided to take 6 (Blue, Buddy, Secret Score, Roman, Gunner, and Love Game). When I brought Gunner (BEW junior ND) up to the vet check lady. She started saying how beautiful he was, she loved his type, his ears, his head, everything about him. So that made me hopeful that he would do well. =] Saturday was the first day of showing. I showed Love Game, and got BOB over all the Crossbred bunnies. And at 3pm we did Showmanship. I got a callback, and I did really well. =] I then showed Buddy, and got 2nd Blue. On Sunday I showed Secret Score and Roman, and they went over weight, and got DQ'd. The judge loved them. Then I took Top Gunner up to the tables. There were quite a few ND up there, and some nice ones at that! Anyways..............................Gunner won BOB over ALL The Netherland Dwarfs in the show!!! =DDD The judge LOVED him, and I was so pleased! Im looking forward to showing him some more! The judge picked him up, and said to watch out for his weight, so im gonna put him on a diet. YAY!! Im so happy! We also had awards on Sunday, and tear down. =]

Althought we did have some sad news when we got home. Elwine (my neighbor) raises Kiko Goats, and I bottle feed the babies that the mothers don't want. So Elwine calls me, and says he is bringing me a baby goat. She was so cute! Although she didn't make it through the night..=((((( R.I.P little Snowy.

Also Melvin my baby BEW is showing signs of Wry neck, so Im taking him into the vet at 2:30pm today, to get this nipped in the butt. This is my second case with it, and I dont want it to become a promblem. So please pray that the antibiotics work on Melvin, and he gets better soon. TTYL! =]

Oh The Bunnies..

Melvin all set up

Playing in the grass with his momma

What a little chub chub!

He's getting the hang of setting up

Mmmm, yummy grass!

Well the bunnies are doing great! The baby BEW has been named. We named him Melvin, because he looks like a Melvin, lol. He LOVES grass and Clover. He is looking really nice conformation wise. Im thinking I will be keeping him, because another buck wouldnt hurt, lol. =] Lacy had her babies. Im not sure how many yet, but there are ALOT of them!! Sweetpea hasn't had any yet, although she made a nest, and she still feels prego. Daisy pulled hair, and made a nest, but no babies. Although she feels really skinny, so Im hoping she didn't eat them. There is also supposed to be a thunderstorm tommorow, so Im hoping it doesn't upset them.

I made up Ash's babies, and Melvin's pedigrees. They look good, and I have alot of people intersted in Ash's babies, and I haven't even advertised them yet, lol. =] Have a nice night!! =D TTYL.

Updates

Hey. =] All the babies are doing great. Im not sure if I mentioned it in the last post or not, but Ash now has 4 babies instead of 5. Im not sure where the 5th one went, but he isnt in there.
The baby BEW is doing great. Starting to hop in and out of the box now. He is looking like he is gonna have nice type! He is very stocky, which is what I could use a bit more of in my rabbitry.
I have decided that im gonna not get the breeding pair of otters, until I sell all the bunnies I have for sale. Then I can reward my self with a new breeding pair! =D My mom likes this decision better to. =]

Thought I would give a quick update!! =D Thanks!

ANDRC

Hi. =] I am going to register with the ANDRC (American Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club). I am excited! I plan to just raise Netherland Dwarfs, in BEW and Otter. And I will keep Ash and Oakey for a litter of Mini Lops occasionally. =] Other then that, it will all be ND's, and Meat breeds. I will still have Shasta and Buddy, and I'm thinking of selling Sweetpea, but I'm not sure yet. I'm also going to purchase an apron from the ANDRC. =DDDD
Ash has only 4 live babies now. I don't know what happened to the 5th one, but there is now 2 solids, and 2 brokens. 2 does are reserved, and I have another lady interested in 1. So they are going very quick, lol. Have a nice day! =]

Baby Mini Lops

Well Ash had 5 babies this morning. There are 3 brokens, and 2 solids. They are all fat, and she pulled alot of hair. Im hoping to keep a nice show quality doe, to replace Roman and Secret Score. I have a lady wanting 2 for her daughters.
