Today we had some great news. Flutter gave birth to 11, 10 live - 1 still birth. They look health with big fat bellies. This is our largest litter, and with only 1 fall off from a "baby" buck. Sadly, we also had our first birth on the wire. Apparently even though Charlie wouldn't let Argent mount, he was able get some in there. She gave birth to 6 babies, apparently shortly after the morning feeding and we found them when I got home from work. We now have a rabbitry "rule" of A nest box goes in 28 days after ANY contact with a buck. Well No babies yet, but last couple times it was day 31/32, so not stressing. We had a little bit of fur pulling from Flutter, so that is very encouraging.
Waiting..... Well it's day 28 for Muppet & Flutter again. (Charlene refused to lift, and still giving Honey a little more time to grow) Remmy had 1 fall with Flutter, he was 5 months old, so not holding our breath, but hopeful. Argent had 3 falls with Muppet, *fingers crossed*. We have a home lined up for him if he reproves himself, and that will get our buck numbers down (we really do have too many right now). Pictures of babies we've missed over here while we've been busy.
We got the last door on the hutch and the babies separated by sex. The babies are 7 weeks old. We got them all weighed for the 3rd tracking week, and photographed the potential breeders. Those breeders are posted on the "Available" page. They can be picked up next week. W008F will be our newest breeding doe as long as all goes as planed. We have had some crazy busy schedules, as well as out of state trips for family business. They babies are doing great. The potential breeders will be determined over the next 3 weeks and they will be available on October 31st. The waiting list for breeding trios as started. As long as they pan out in form & personality (we don't have much doubt on the size, esp Flutter's) we should have 3 breeding trios (maybe 4 if they have really good form). YouTube Video of the babies playing in the run. We have also announced our calendar. This is a super cute calendar put together with the help of 2 other rabbitries. Pre-orders will receive a special limited edition print. Contact us to order. |
