⭐Educational Post⭐

Back in early March, I bred a few of my rabbits. I palpated them around day 14 and again later, but none of them felt pregnant—including Tortellini. I’ve always been pretty confident in palpating, but this time I was wrong.

I started a deworming cycle using Pyrantel Pamoate—5 days on, 5 days off, 5 days on. I had no idea Tortellini was pregnant, and if I had known, I never would’ve dewormed her. Once I noticed her collecting hay around day 31, I suspected something was up. Nest-building can happen with false pregnancies too, but I gave her a box just in case and stopped the dewormer immediately. I also researched the effects dewormers can have on babies and the mother and most of what I was reading said they should be fine if the dewormer was stopped.

Later that night, I checked on her and found a kit born on the wire. It was cold but alive, so I warmed it up, used fur from another rabbit, and helped it nurse. Tortellini didn’t pull fur or show any more contractions at this time. About 12 hours later, she delivered two more healthy kits. All three are doing great—warm, full-bellied, and active. None of deformed or stunted from the way they are growing now.

Tortellini has produced milk on time and pulled fur when the second babies were born. She has been acting normal–eating, drinking, and nursing. I’m relieved the dewormer didn’t seem to harm the babies, but this was definitely a lesson learned. From now on, I won’t give any meds until 31 days post-breeding unless I’m absolutely sure there's no pregnancy.

I wanted to share this so others don’t feel alone if they make a similar mistake. We’re always learning, and the important thing is to do our best and grow from the experience. I’ll keep y'all posted on how the babies are doing! They are 12 days old today!!

Happy Easter everyone!!

Guys, it's the last round of tests before finals next week. Please pray for me 🙏🏼 I cannot wait till I can just nap like Walker here and not have to study anymore physics 😬

I don't post about this girl enough! Blossom was my first false dwarf brood doe, and so far I have only had one litter with her after about 5 to 6 months of trying ☺️ she's getting older but I'm hoping I can still get another litter or two out of her before she retires as a pet here 🥰 Included are pictures of her first litter with me! She throws such amazing babies with so much potential (and it shows). I can't wait to line breed her to her son and then also breed her to Ceviche soon 😊

I'm hoping after this round of deworming my does will take. These will be my pairings!! I can't wait for these babies!! Convention hopefuls🤞🏼

*No breeding has happened at this time due to rabbits being dewormed*

I cannot wait to breed this girl!! She is so close to six months...I might breed her and then put her back on the show tables to get that Sr. Leg for granding, haven't decided yet since the next show I'm going to seems to be in August. Hopefully she can stay right below that 4lb mark, but I might need to put her on a little diet 😆 very proud of this sweet girl!

Palpated my does today and nothing still. 3rd time this is happening with all three girls. I cannot understand what's the matter... Maybe the weather? All 3 are proven and one of the bucks is proven as well. Going to try ACV for a week and hope that that will help! If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

Don't mind the bad lighting lol it's been too windy lately.

Let me just say, I am so proud of how my juniors performed!! Stuffed Turkey held the SJB class at 17 weeks and even scored a BOB as his first leg at his first debut!! Miss Katrina got 2 BOSB in SJD and Pecan Pie got a BOV in BJB at his first outing!! I'm very proud of how Flower has matured, he's really shown me that sometimes it just takes time! He earned 2 BOBs and a 1st giving him 3 legs! I'm so proud of him and I can't wait to see what he does for Charlee McDonell herd!! Mashed Potatoes also found himself a home with a youth that is starting her own show program!! I have 3 does rebred and hopefully took this time to have some babies in early April! I cannot express how happy I was with the buns... Katrina is still a young Jr and was only a few ounces from the max weight (rewighed her yesterday and she's 4lbs even) 😆 7 legs from 3 shows with 6 rabbits, not too bad. So glad I got to see Charlee Phillips of hollandsbycharlee again! Tried breeding Ceviche to her doe but she didn't want him 😅

Sea Salt's Bronco
Fraine Farm's Rucker x Sea Salt's Cabernet

Another one I'll most likely regret selling 😭 I am making room for new grow outs and I already have so many bucks, I have a replacement grow out for Bronco that isn't fuzzy. Bronco always amazes me when I show him, though there aren't many broken fuzzies where I am he always pulls through. He's only been shown a few times and has gotten a BOB leg and has gotten BOSB at the same show (not a leg) and BOB at the FL. State Fair. His head and bone are amazing! He surely has passed both down to a majority of the litter he sired! Gonna miss this boy.

Will be at the March 8th Show in Inverness, FL. Will not be shown.

PM for more details!

Burgan's Flower (28 weeks, SSB)
GC Sea Salt's Tsunami x SDR City Girl

I've made up my mind...I literally have 7 bucks right now...I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I don't need anymore of them! Flower has his sire's head and comes close to having his grand sire's huge noggin. Slightly slipped in that crown but has cute little tiny ears! Very solid buck! Always feels well muscled every time I take him out! I won't mind if he doesn't go now, because I would like to breed him back to his mom just to see what they throw. Decent bone on this guy too!

Will be shown at the March 8th show in Inverness, FL.

Burgan's Burnt Turkey (11 weeks, SJD, fuzzy HL)
Sea Salt's Bronco x Sea Salt's Mirage

I absolutely would keep this girl to show her if I had the space! She is gorgeous, don't mind her molt she's in the process of finishing it up! Love the bone and head on this girl, I have a feeling most of this litter took their dad's head. Her ears do lack in substance but they have nice shape, length, and placement! Pretty nice crown (though fuzzies don't have to have that). Definitely growing into her body. If she looks decent before the March show I will show her.

Will be at the March 8th show in Inverness, FL.
Most likely a chocolate carrier!
