These babies are starting to get chunky! We lost just one baby from Enola, but it was a very runty baby that could not keep up with its siblings. Everyone else though is doing amazing!

We believe we have produced our first ever REW! It does not look like it has any frosty coloring, and its eyes seem pretty red ❣️ Looks likes also a lot of chin-variety colored babies and other sorts of ticked/agouti patterns

We no longer will be attending Galesville as planned unfortunately. I personally hated all my current juniors (I think we have a case of the fuglys happening), some wedding stuff worked best this weekend, and with some more heat coming it is better we are home. Looking forward to later summer and fall shows! We will miss our bunny friends until then 😞

Some quick photos I took while taking extra fur out of the nest boxes! The kits did a good job of not laying on top of each other with the heat, but we removed fur just in case. Some cute colors coming in and it seems that the moms are doing a great job despite the temps! This week is looking a little more comfortable, but the heat wave has made me remember why fall is my favorite 🍂

Sending good luck to everyone with rabbits preparing for the heat ☀️🔥We bought extra fans, froze lots of water bottles, and cleaned out the water pans so they have super clean cold water. It’s definitely stressful when you have animals and the weather is bad, so we do our best to keep them comfortable!

Because of the rat fiasco, I told myself I was not allowed to post my new babies until they at least reached a week old... and here we are! Piper and Enola had litters exactly one week ago. Piper had six that are all still alive and well, and Enola had 6 but two failed to thrive so she is down to 4. Since there has been no signs of rats, I will also announce that BonBon had a litter yesterday. 4 born but one was DOA so she has a little litter of 3. Small babies in the barn again makes me so happy, but also so stressed 😂 Bones was also bred but didn't settle. We will likely just let her continue to have the summer off and breed some does again the end of summer for fall babies 🍁

Here is a surviving litter from the rat attack. Tenne has 6 babies, but of course we ended up buck heavy. Dixie still has one frosty baby that is a buck, but it has a gimpy leg due to the attack. He has been named Nemo. We want to shout out Jellybean today since it is Father's Day and he is the sire to Tenne's litter. Our other bucks couldn't get the job done for Tenne, but she liked Jellybean it seems :) Happy Father's day to all the human and bunny dads out there! 💙

Haven't posted an update in awhile about our very first litter of Flemish Giants! Here is what we have learned for our first time with FG's: They grow like weeds! They are stupid friendly (not that we ignore them, but they are crazy friendly for the little amount of work we have done with them). They eat a lot, but not as much as you'd think. Mini Lops actually might pig out more than these guys 😂

We ended up with 5 surviving. 3 does and 2 bucks we believe. Eve is a good mom, but to her the nest box is a litter box so it required frequent cleaning. She also stomps on her babies a bit... big girl doesn't know her own size lol. They just turned 8 weeks, but we will probably hold onto them until at least 10 weeks.

Haven't posted in a little while but we did attend the show in Stillwater! We just brought three rabbits to show. 2 younger junior does and our new buck. Sherlock ended up getting a leg in show 2! Our junior does didn't win anything, but it was still nice to see the judges all agree on which doe they liked more. We hope to make it to Galesville WI at the end of the month.

Thank you Kristina Gerard for the photo of Uri and I getting our between shows nap in 😂 and congrats on your amazing day with your pretty senior doe! Also congrats to Ashley Snediker on the wins with her senior bucks!

A New Years goal for our 2025 litters was to have majority of our rabbits tattooed before leaving our farm, and we are crushing it so far! I treated myself with a new tattoo pen from All Things Bunnies, and it has been amazing. The pen is rechargeable, and the battery lasts quite a while (we were down to the last charge bar and got 9 rabbits tattooed and it still had more life to it!). This pen also has replacement heads with the needle built it, so no more stress with replacing a new needle, just pop a new top on! You can also adjust the needle speed, and they have a couple different needles sizes. If you need a new tattooer, we suggest this one! My tattoos are looking much cleaner with this new pen (and a lot more practice).

I decided to take out Tenne's babies for some photos and found that there are actually 6 still left! One broken is a runt compared to their siblings, so we will see if that one can keep up and thrive soon. We have gotten so much orange lately that I am actually excited for chestnut 😂🤎

This photo is how I am feeling planning litters knowing dang well my does won't listen anyways 😂 This year I have decided to not plan for any litters in July and August to give the does a break during the heat. We have a couple fall litters planned, and are even trying to plan for early 2026 litters to have litters ready for 4-Hers next spring. We have a couple does due in mid-June if they took and then likely won't have any litters until September 🍁

To help me get over the sadness of our recent loss, I am trying to find smaller things I can do to feel accomplished again. For starters, last night I trimmed nails on all four of our bucks and got updated weights on them. Knowing they have their nails trimmed and a health check done feels good, and for once all our bucks are under max show weight! We are planning to take a couple bucks with us to Stillwater on 6/7, so I wanted to make sure they weren't too hefty. I grabbed a photo of Slasher, a buck we picked up from Bunny Blessing's who has earned himself 2 show legs and produced show leg winning babies for us :) He will not show as he is starting to show his age, but he is a great herd buck :)

Last week was very rough for our rabbitry and after much crying, I am finally ready to share. We had 4 beautiful Mini Lop litters, and are sadly now down to 1 1/3 litters. The reason: Rats. At first we though we had a weasel or mink, but after putting poison out we have found a couple rats. We moved our two remaining moms to another shed and they seem to be doing better. Tenne still has 5 babies, but Dixie is down to just 2. BonBon lost all her babies, as well as Dany who also did not survive the stress of the rat attack :( We will never be able to replace our beautiful lilac frosty Dany as we no longer have her parents. Last week almost made me want to give up the hobby for a few years, but our New Zealand doe Taffy gave us 7 babies on 5/17/25 that are making my joy come back a bit. I will update on the remaining Mini Lop babies once we get a handle on the rodent situation.
