We now have vision!! The Red Trio.

This blog is just a dedication of the Red trio and how much they have grown in two weeks. They all have their eyes open, the little one taking her sweet time doing so. They are now jumping in and out of their nestbox and it is adorable. Tiny tina is still tiny and I have decided to keep her as long as she is up to standards and looks nice. I'm wondering though if she will carry on to have small babies when its her time to breed? I guess we will see when she is older, I may just keep her as a non breeder because I love her personality and wont have the heart to cull her. If she turns out not looking nice they she will go as just a pet with a no breeding contract. The other two, I have not decided which i will keep or if I will sell both, I am not 100% sure at this point because i cannot tell which will look good and which wont. But I do believe i have two Doe's and one buck. So Berry had a doe and sunburn a doe and a buck. One thing i am sure of they are adorable!!!!!

Momma annoyed that all the babies can now hop out and harass her.

The Red trio made it to a week and one day old.....

I honestly did not think these two litters well the last of the kits from the litter would make it, there was just so many things stacked against them. So far so good, the three even the little one have nice plump belly's and berry is an over enthusiastic mother who constantly is checking on them as soon as one makes a sound she's in the box checking on them. I was thinking at first she would feed the two bigger ones and the poor little one would not get enough food, but oh boy dose it get food, it has a nice ole fat belly and seems to have grown bigger, but i think it will always be small which i have now grown so attached to it, I might even keep that one but it will all depend on how it looks as it gets bigger. I have decided to name her, I believe she is a doe Tiny Tina, but just in case if she ends up being a he i'll change it to tiny Tim.

Tiny Tina

Which reminds me I tried my best to sex them and got two Doe's and a buck, but I could honestly be wrong the gender parts sooo tiny. Let's just hope I am right.

Other new's I will be breeding my two castors Lacey and Limerick so I'm soo hoping for some successful litters from them for some June show babies. I need to go over my herd and really decide how many kit's from the litters I will keep or have room for, Really thinking about when we move I'll build some cages, saw some awesome ideas on the internet.

Anywho enough rambling here are some updated pics.

A New Year!

Wow it's 2012 can't believe I'm saying that lol it just seems so weird to look at.

The new kit's well the three left are doing well, big ole fat belly's. I must say for a first time mom, strawberry is a fantastic mother, she built an awesome nest, with a ton of hair and she keeps her babies well fed and clean. She's very attentive to their needs and even when I go in there, she immediately checks on them as soon as I walk away. She will defiantly be one of my prime Brood Doe's.

Now on to the kit's they are four day's old now and thriving, even the little one has a good belly on it which pleases me because I was worried the two big ones would not let the little one eat but Berry make's sure that even the little one has a good meal.

Hmm some things I must accomplish in the next few months, first get a tattoo pen or clamp that is a must for sure and then work on getting some carriers at least one for the up coming spring shows and of course get me some more cages, I want at least 30 hole's total just have to hold back till we get into a new place not sure how the landlord will feel yet but I don't see a problem since all my rabbits are kept in very clean cages and trays are changed regularly.

Some pictures they were moving around so much it was almost impossible to get clear good photos of them. The third picture you can see the runt, it's head looks funky in the picture but it's not just came out that way, the first pic is a close up of the smaller one/runt. It's defiantly not a peanut. I honestly dident even know rabbits could have runts because i have never come across it before but i guess so.
