5 Litters

We now have three New Zealand litters, 1 Californian litter, and 1 mixed breed litter.  The first litter consists of two does, one all white and one white with small points, and one buck, white with points.  The next litter is 5 chestnut and 1 red - they just started opening their eyes.  The third NZ litter is 5 gold-tipped steel and 4 red.  There are 3 in the Californian litter.  There are about six mini mix breed babies, and I’m not sure what colors they are yet.  There is a good mix, and they will be pretty unique, I’m thinking.  The mom is a blue and the dad is a broken blue lionhead mix.  I wasn’t expecting such varied colors in the kits, but here we are.  See the “For Sale” page for prices on each of these.
I am expecting five more New Zealand litters, and any colors could come out of those litters, because they are out of blue (by a blue buck), blue torte (by a blue buck), chinchilla (by a red buck), red (by a gray point mixed breed buck), and a light red (by a red buck).  I also have another mixed litter by the gray point buck out of a light gray lop mix doe.

More Babies

Princess, my white doe, had some babies.  There are something like seven or eight in there.  Most are black and one is either red or white - I’m thinking red.

This is my new Californian doe.  She is only five months old.  Yesterday I got another new one - she is pedigreed as well.  Now I have three Cali does and a buck.

One of my New Zealands - Dusty.  She might not be show quality but she sure is pretty.  

Sage’s babies are getting big.  They will be ready for new homes around April 1.

New Additions

I started out only breeding New Zealands and Californians, but since then I have added Mini Rex and Netherland Dwarf to the program.  The Netherlands I plan to only keep a buck and a doe, and just see how it goes.  I have no plans for the future on those.  With the mini rex, however, I am planning to get more because they are just wonderful rabbits.  So far I only have a doe that I am keeping, so I will probably start out with a buck and two does.  I also have added two more pedigreed Californians out of show stock.
The little white babies are getting big.  Pretty soon their eyes will be opening.
I have no more litters yet, but I am hoping to have an NZ litter within the next couple of days.  I bred a white doe to a red buck, so I am hoping to get some black kits.
That’s about it for now.  Lots is still happening around here!

The First Litter

Sage, one of my two gold-tipped steel NZ does, had a litter of three yesterday.  They will be available by April 1.  The father was a white NZ so I am excited to see what color they will be.  I also have bred lots of other does recently - so hopefully I should have around 10 litters by April and all will be available for sale by June.
