I put out 16 nest boxes yesterday after a break from breedings. I am hoping for a baby boom! I am certain there will be some does that did not take. But still hoping for several litters and will breed again anyone who didnā€™t take. So far have had several girls nesting, but just 2 litters so far this morning. One SF litter of 3 blacks, and one MR litter of 7 of blacks and broken blacks, 2 of those were peanuts.

Well, I felt nothing when I palpated this doe a couple weeks ago but Iā€™m learning from my mistakes to just give a box if they were exposed to a buck. Looks like it was a good idea in this case lol

Overall we did ok at the Stevenson show this weekend! I knew I wasnā€™t bringing the best animals (but all I currently had to show), but we managed to take 4 legs so I will take it! This little doe was the only MR I brought, and she managed 2 BOB legs. Then my intermediate SF buck won 2 BOB legs and is now finished! (Just needs registered once he is at least 6 months of age). Congrats to everyone else on their wins! It was great getting to see my rabbit friends again ā˜ŗļø

I was planning to show this doe in a couple weekends at our first show in awhile, and then found she has a white spot near her toe šŸ„²šŸ«  Iā€™m now undecided but likely will let her stay home and be a brood doe

This guy is so stinking cute! šŸ„° Iā€™ve loved him since he was a baby and he still gets to stay. For how long is still TBD, for now I will continue watching him grow as I am in dire need of another herd buck.

My neighbor asked me if I downsized on my rabbits because he felt that I didnā€™t put out as much rabbit manure as usual. I assured him I did not downsize, but I will take it as a compliment šŸ˜† this is 9 cu ft of rabbit manure mixed with dry den pellets just from my rabbit shed (which is almost exclusively minis), from 6 days from my last clean up.

Itā€™s already time for a rabbit feed restock. My MINIā€™s went through 360 lbs of feed in just exactly 5 weeks. šŸ„² they have actually been eating just as much as my Silver Fox since my last restock. I bought 20 bags to save 5% lol. Iā€™ll be buying my Silver Foxā€™s feed from a small local feed store in smaller quantities unless Coastal has a better sale.

I usually donā€™t pose youngins (especially under 6 weeks). On Monday, I decided to pose some just to get them used to the handling. And one of these chocolate mini Rex jumped out of my hands and ran behind the cages! (This was a first for me to lose one in the shed). They were 2 weeks and 6 days old Monday. It ran behind the cages where there was only 1-2 inches of space, and I couldnā€™t see it. I tried looking and then keeping my eyes out for it for the next few days, feeling less hopeful each day. By Friday I decided it was a lost cause. While I was feeding on Friday, I saw something small scurry out from behind the cages and ran back. I realized it was my lost baby! I was able to capture it after several minutes despite it running all around behind cages and obstacles slowing me down. It got to rejoin its mama and siblings like nothing ever happened. Honestly I am still so shocked that it survived on its own for that long and at such a young age šŸ˜…

How unfortunateā€¦ 100 lbs of YQ+ thrown in with the compost šŸ˜” and this stuff is not cheap! Improperly stored I guess, my fault.

I love this doe so much and her coat is TO DIE FOR šŸ˜šŸ˜ amazing density and perfect texture! Her coat is almost finished so I was thinking I might show her, but as soon as I picked her up I knew she was a thick girlā€¦ she weighed in a couple ounces shy of 5 lbs šŸ«  she will stay as brood!
