The week has gone by fast . . .

This past week went by extremely fast and we were in and out every day last week. We'll be staying home all day tomorrow hopefully, that'll be SO nice!

My bunnies have been doing pretty good. I haven't had much time to play with them, but I have made sure to give the babies some cuddles and give them all their loved treats (like hay & oats :)).

The litters are 3 weeks old now so they are due for some pictures. Hopefully I can get those tomorrow, as I should have all day available.

I lost Kristen's little lilac baby mysteriously Friday night. It was perfectly fine just a few hours prior and was dead in the midst of it's siblings when I checked them before I went to bed. I don't have a clue as to what happened, as it looked completely fine and normal. She was a very cute baby too!

All of Kristen's are does and the two "pinks" are both pointed whites. I can't tell for sure if one of the pointeds is a dilute or not, but I'm leaning towards not. Daisy's babies are 4 does, 2 bucks.

Hopefully more tomorrow,

Babies are coming

It's been 10 days since I bred Brandy, Tara, Tatianna, Clara, & Laci, so I palpated the does this morning. All of them except Brandy palpate positive. Yay!

I'll repalpate Brandy in a few days, since I really expected her to take. She was so ready to be bred and Kaden "got" her 4 times. Hopefully I'm just missin' the babies.

Jenny has several chinchillas in her litter. 3 of the brokens are chins and the other 2 are chestnuts. 2 of the solids are chins and 1 is a chestnut. I'm glad they aren't all chessies!

I finally was able to put a mouse trap in the barn. I caught a mouse first thing Saturday morning. Yes! I haven't caught another one yet, but I think I just need to move the trap to another place.

The mouse trap we have had the most success with and use is the Victor TinCat trap. It's a metal box that has two entry ways into it. The mice can get it, but they can't get back out. You just put some bait in the middle of the box and the mice will go for it ;). The TinCat we have has a clear top so you can see without picking the box up if there are mice in it or not.

The first time I used this trap in my original barn in California, I caught 8 mice in one night. There was a major mouse problem there. Those were the days when I would see the mice come down into the rabbits feed bowls and eat the pellets. I would have to grab the mice by the tail (with gloves on, of course) and deal with them. That's when the good 'ole barn cats come in handy!

Picture time!

I took some time this morning to take a few pictures that needed to be updated on my website, namely Kaden & Kaylee. I also took some pics of Chocolate - all the pictures are up on the site now.

Here's Kaylee. She's doesn't look so hot right now (especially her body), but I thought she needed some new pictures on the site, instead of her 8 week old baby pics.


Here's Chocolate. She just needed some new pictures!



And, finally here's my sweet boy Kaden. He's a naughty little guy and is so hard to pose. But, after letting him run around the barn for a few minutes and working with him to sit still for a few minutes, I was able to get some half-way decent pictures of him. He definitely still has some growing to do, but I think he'll fill in. He's still only 7 months old.

This pictures shows Kaden's personality so much!
