This little Holland was so busy this morning before the sun came up! The light from the house backlit the sand flying which was much more dramatic as she started her construction project. I love how she "bulldozes" the extra sand out of her way.
It's a good thing I have rabbits. I'm so amused by watching them nibble on treats. This is Helene (named before the hurricane!) she snacked on kale, celery tops, Romaine lettuce, and a radish leaf.
It was a cold night last night in Florida. The Hollands are in an enclosed barn, but they could still use some extra calories. Vince loves plain Cheerios!
Vince
Vet visit for Vince today. He may have an ear infection. They are running cultures right now. He is my little guy. He deserves resolution to his trouble! Edited to add - wax build up! Have an easy plan to treat him. Yay!
We planned ahead. Before the summer heat kicked in. We bred many of our satin does. The offspring are now either "in line" for fall breeding 'cause their size and temperaments are fantastic or they are possibly going to freezer camp. We actually bought a new freezer in preparation.
Before they go to FC, we thought we'd offer some to new homesteads who may be interested in expanding their rabbitry or who want to get started.
These are purebred satins or NZ x satins. Our lines originally came from Texas, Tennessee and Indiana - so lots of variety in the gene pool. We show our satins, our first herd buck is ARBA registered. We have good stock.
We are in North Lake County. Give us a PM if you want more information about the breed.
Pictured in the video are some young rabbits out to get exercise on this cool morning. They live a good life!

The little black kit had the hiccups. It was very funny! As I was trying to capture the hiccups, Demi decided I should give her more oats.
My dear Stella knew I was giving oat treats to the nursing does. She politely asked me to give her some, too. She will always be one of my favorites! The chicks you hear in the background are hanging out in the rabbitry until they are a little bigger.
Like Romeo and Juliet they come from opposing "families". (Breeds) Safe to say, they like companionship #Hollandlop #satinrabbit #bunnylove.
Demi is getting ready for her first litter. Pulling fur!
Yay! This is Rosie's daughter. She is expecting her first litter in a few days. She "told me"this morning that it was time to build a nest. She sampled the nesting box hay! Lol!
Yes, this is a satin SHOW rabbit! In the late afternoon sun. Who cares if he gets sunbleached! He's going to spend March-July making more nice satins. We will make his days as natural as possible with sand to dig in and fresh breezes to enjoy. Look at that sheen!
