Baby & Bun News

Life has been busy, as usual around here. Between working on websites, living on a ranch with a family of 13, doing household chores, and taking care of everything (animals & people), there's never a dull moment!

The bunnies are all doing great and handling the heat wonderfully. They are all cool in their barn with the air conditioner. I'm so thankful for that! I had a small scare with it a couple days ago. I got home and it was OFF. Thankfully it isn't that hot yet, so everyone was fine. I thought it was broken, but I found out that someone had just flipped the switch off (more than likely the silly barn cats did) and all is good.

Brownie palpates positive. I'm hoping for a LIVE litter this time! Diamond also palpates positive. She had 1 baby on her last due date (June 4th), but pulled no fur & made no nest. Which doesn't make sense at all, since she is not a first time mama. That baby ended up dieing a few days later, so she is rebreed. I just have to palpate Abilene & Allie (both Lam litters!). Kayla is due the 28th.

Melinda kindled to a beautiful litter of 6 last week. This is the first litter by Lam here and they are so pretty. A couple have pretty unique markings on their broken pattern, which is kind of cool.

I haven't had a baby with a partial face marking for *years*! This baby reminds of it's way-back grandfather, Velotta's Raymond who was a RGC and his markings were SO similar to this.


And of course, the usual broken, full face pattern :).


And this little baby has a little bit of "milk-dipped-ness" to one of it's ears. So cute. I haven't had a baby with white on the ears for years either.


Krissie's babies pictures are up now at this link. I am keeping the broken chocolate chinchilla buck out of this litter. I'll contact those on my waiting list soon for the other babies, Lord willing, unless you contact me first :)!

This is Krissie's smallest baby and biggest baby. The "biggest baby" really isn't that different than the sizes of the other babies in the litter. but, the smallest baby is for sure the run and is, as  you can see, about half the size of his littermates. But, he sure has a lively personality and strong will to live, so he is thriving!


Abby's babies pictures are up also at this link.

And Kahlua's babies pictures can be seen here. I am keeping the broken chocolate chestnut agouti buck out of this litter. I'll contact those on my waiting list soon for the other babies, Lord willing, unless you contact me first :)!

And, finally, here are a couple pictures of the doe I kept out of Kayla's last litter. She's a promising doe. I still haven't decided on a name for her yet. I know, so bad :)!
