Wow Chex...Wow.

So I guess Chex didn't take 17+ days ago so I rebred her to my buck Teddy. I then tried again this morning and she tried to kill my poor boy so I'm guessing she took. LOL And now she is a little territorial brat. Oof!!! I am guessing I will have a nice litter of 1 or 2 on June 27th. Now I am just hopeing and praying that Pippet staightens up and is a good mom. She doesn't have a very good mama history. I am almost positive she took as I thought I felt a grape when I palpated her. She is a very sweet but squeaky doe. LOL You pet her and she sounds like a dog's squeaky toy. LOL Gotta Love Em'!


"I can still see you!!!"
She always peaks at me from her little corner.

Aborable Hotots

Well, not much going on at the rabbitry. The does are due in two weeks and I'm just waiting. I took a few pictures before I did lots of cleaning in the cages and chicken coop. Please note the pictures are from BEFORE I cleaned the cages so I apologize about the "cocoa puffs" hanging from the wire. I promise its not there anymore. ;)


LOOK AT THOSE EARS!! <3

"I don't want to look at you."
Little pregnant does are so sassy.

Pregnant Does...

The sun is shining bright through the clouds as I pick up my favorite buck and carry him over to the plum tree where I lay down on the cool grass and relax with a hotot on my tummy. The air is a gentle breeze and I can hear the bees zoom past, high above us, busily working on their hive.

I can smell the horses in the neighbors pasture, my personal favorite fragrence. And I can hear their teeth gently clipping the grass as they graze. Their hooves taking slow steps to a new patch every few seconds.

All is quiet at Little Rascals Rabbitry.....


EXCEPT SOME CRABBY PREGNANT DOES

Chex is just a tad more vicious than usual and Pippet has no tolerance for other rabbits... And they don't even have their babies yet.... Oh boy! I may end up fostering Pippet's litter to Chex, as Pippet has some mothering instinct issues.


Teddy: "Why you no let me play with does?"
Me: "Because at the moment, they'd rip your cute face off."

My current rabbit hutch....

PANCAKE!




Teddy isn't pleased with being moved away from the does.

Just a little update!!

New Does!

Got my new does just barely! One is named Chex and the other, I decided on Pippet. Pippet is a sweetheart and Chex well.... she's a beast, that's all I'm going to say.

Updates!

Hey! So its been a few months and boy, do we have stuff to catch up on! Well I'm going to start with the best news. We are getting 2 new does on Tuesday that are bred and due June 10th!! WHOO!!! The bad news is we are also selling Cookies and Flynn on Tuesday as well. But I think that will be the best thing for my line. Teddy is getting very excited to meet the new girls. To bad he can't have a date with them for at least 3-4 months.... Poor Ted. LOL!!
So obliviously we are back breeding rabbits after a 5 year break. We are EXTREMELY limited on holes, but it works for now. In the mean time, I'm tring to talk my dad into building a simple shed for rabbits. He's a general contractor so it shouldn't be to much of a challenge.
I don't have a camera at my house right now, so I don't have any very recent pictures. But heres a picture  of Teddy from a few weeks ago.



Ya'll have a great day!
