ARBA registered rabbitry in central Oklahoma focusing on show quality red Satins. Displaying Satin, Rexed, and Waved pelts; ss, rr, and wawa.
We have two main projects we are breeding towards here at Rainy Days.
• The first and main project is show quality red Satins that excel in body type, red intensity, and growth rate. They should exceed on the show table and dinner table alike.
•Avant-garde Reza Breeding Project
Macro-goals: Commercial body type with great depth and width of loin being the focus and fullness to table. For eas
e I will refer to this as SRW. Micro-goals: Oversized prick ears for increased heat tolerance. Good growth rate, ideally hitting 5 lbs by 10 weeks of age but will select up to 12 weeks at this stage. Growth can and will be selected for later. Prefer a medium sized adult with commercial growth rates.

Oh Kiki.
Well Kikimora did not do as well as her sister Baba Yaga unfortunately. She pulled maybe a lick of fur, barely made a nest, and didn't have them in the nest box. I think she smushed one as well, so she's got 5 left. If she doesn't pull fur overnight I'll pull some from her tomorrow morning.
Pictured are Baba Yaga's fat tots. 🥰

Baba Yaga did a wonderful job on her first litter! 8 toasty warm kits in the nestbox on the morning of the 31st day. She pulled a little fur on day 29, and then a whole bunch this morning.
👏 Great work honey. Now let's cross our fingers your sister Kikimora gets the right idea, last I saw she was flinging straw everywhere....
(Roughly half should be Satinized.)

‼️This week I plan to go through litters and list both grow outs and a couple of adults. Reza project does and both Satinized and normal coated Satin/NZ mixes. Looking to downsize for the summer as well so no telling what'll get listed tbh.
Cute baby for attention. NFS

Whew. Used up all my luck for today 😅
Ruby Rose kindled 3 kits early this morning and though she went a couple of days over, I (wrongly) assumed Fire Cider still had a few days until she was due. Thursday or something. Surely. I check the calendar as I get her nestbox together and see, oh gosh, she's due TODAY.
I hand Fire Cider her box and she hops in before I've even set it in place, digging and hay stashing. Shortly after that and she's pulling fur. About 30 minutes later and... Babies. 😬
Uh, thanks for waiting I guess? So sorry honey!!!
She kindled 10 lovely little brindles and tricolors. 🥰 Going to foster some to Ruby later this evening.

50% Rex, 25% NZ, 25% Satin
Roughly half should be rexed and all carry Satin.

Alright, here ya go Lynn, a belly shot of the available buck! 😆 Dude wasn't thrilled with the idea.

Dunkin' Donuts 🍩 is making some little fatties!
She didn't pull anymore fur for them so they've been coming inside at night. Apparently it's enough that there's 5 of them and a little fur, because they keep crawling to the top of the straw I put over them, lol.
It's also supposed to get to the mid 90s today so they're pretty toasty with those temps.

Lara Croft's coloration is called Red Leopard, a very rare form of expression that comes when you pair two red rabbits of differing rufus together, one darker (++++++) and one lighter (+++---). It's not a recognized pattern for show but still very pretty!
.. Kidding. She's just molting. 😉 And very showable.
A screenshot from the posing video I took yesterday of her for her sale post. She wanted some loving. 💕

I *really* like this buck but I don't like him more than Fuego, and I have no need for two F1 Satin/NZ bucks.
04/13/2025
The rear view and hot summer days coming up have encouraged me to list this doe, lol.

Congrats on your first litter Dunkin'! 🍩
She kindled 5 red shinies, pulled a little fur and had them all in the nestbox. If she doesn't pull more fur today I'll pull some from her to make sure these guys stay toasty overnight.

It’s going to be quite the endeavor but the end goal for this rabbitry will be as follows:
· A large sized rabbit weighing 9 to 11 pounds.
· Oversized pricked ears held upright with strong ear bases.
· Quick growth, hitting 5 pounds by or before 10 weeks of age.
· Excellent mothering ability with litter sizes of 7-10 kits.
· A shiny curled coat into adulthood that exhibits the height of what Astrex has to offer.
· Thick, well furred hocks.
· Ease of handling from kits to adults, these rabbits should be friendly and curious, not prone to anxiety or nervousness.
You’re more than welcome to follow along our journey, it will take some time but we are excited to see where this goes. As of right now we are in the infancy stage, working to get consistent curl that lasts into adulthood.
