Little 3wk old babies popping in and out of the nest box 💕 Mixed box of 6 SF and 4 Rex, with our Tort SF Doe feeding are caring for them all!
🍫We have a box of chocolates at home!🤎
First of all, a huge shout out to my hubby for taking care of the rabbits back home while we are at Nationals! So lucky I have him to depend on ❤️❤️❤️ (and video credits to him as well!)
And secondly, not only is he taking care of all the rabbits, he is also dealing with a couple newborn litters (bad timing on my part to breed them 🤦🏼♀️). This litter of chocolates and ambers is extra exciting as it is the first fully chocolate based litter we have bred for - and I can't wait to see how they turn out! I don't usually have brokens either, as there is only 1 broken rex doe in the barn, but im loving the open patterns on some of these 🤞🏻
Well, this was unexpected 🤔 this doe has been in her own cage since 12 weeks old. Currently 4 months and 1 week. I walked out to check everyone earlier today and noticed some fur pulled in the corner of her cage, and her acting extremely agitated. Moved her to a bigger cage, gave her a box, then came out a few hrs later to 9 beautiful babies! 🐰
Certainly not part of the plan for this doe, but at least the babies are doing well!
2 litters of dwarf babies coming soon! Little Miss Nancy is making sure that nest is prepped and ready to go!
This is a breeding I'm really excited for!
🖤Motherwolf's Fallen Angel X RRR's Hephaestus🖤
Mom carries blue, dad has a chance of carrying chocolate, but likely a full litter of blacks coming up! The buck will hopefully contribute to some better silvering and evenness, while the doe will hopefully give better bone, depth, and width. 🤞🏻
🖤RRR's Alice the Pirate☠️
This doe was being the biggest brat at the show on Saturday, thumping at the judges, scratched the crapnout of me... and today she is begging for pets 🤦🏼♀️ Something exciting from this weekend is that this doe now has 3 Jr legs! Just needs 1 leg as a Sr and she'll be granded 🤞🏻 She has already made weight as well, 8.3 lbs today at just over 5-1/2 months.
🖤💙🖤Happy Friday from this CHONK!🖤💙🖤
Angel's small litter of 3 is doing great! These guys are definitely eating well, and at 6 days old are almost as big as my 3wk old rex babies 😳 pulled them out this morning and this little fatty couldn't even roll over!

Miss Angel was nesting like crazy soon as she got her nest box! Looking forward to babies in a few days! Angel carries dilute and Zeus is a blue, so 🤞🏻 should be some blues in this litter!
Thank you to Motherwolf Rabbitry & Foggy Forest Farm's for their parents - 2 gorgeous animals who I am hoping will blend well 🤞🏻
Little miss Merry is getting ready for babies! First dwarf litter coming soon!
🌿 Babies' first greens! 🌿
Most of my rabbits get supplemental greens daily, ranging from dandelion greens, milk thistle, clover, squash leaves (they love them), pretty much anything we grow or weeds that are safe for them. Helps us cut down slightly on feed costs, gives them a little treat, and gets rid of the weeds or excess cuttings we won't use from the garden. I feed these greens to all my adult rabbits, including does with babies. But during weaning I cut back on greens and push hay to limit the chance of weaning enteritis, then reintroduce greens around 10-12 weeks. So far I haven't lost a young one to bloat or weaning enteritits in many many litters, so it must be working pretty good!
I'd love to add in fodder one day, and dream of having my animals fed "all natural" without pellets. But our lot is tiny, and I don't have the time or space right now to dedicate to producing the amount of feed my herd needs. Maybe one day, but for now they enjoy their fresh green treats!
🌶 Peppers babies are all doing great! All 7 are growing well, eating great, and starting to get their fur! Can't wait to see how these little ones grow! 🥰
Magnolia's little litter of 5 is 2-1/2 weeks old and SO CUTE! They're just starting to get curious about life outside the nest, but no one has been brave enough to jump out yet.
