More Nest Box News:

Five Pines Nugget and SSR's Bunny Boy Blu, 7 kits yesterday all alive and warm.  Her first live litter, 1st litter doa.  We are so excited.  3 broken, 2 Tort, 1 Black, and one Otter.  Can't wait to see these little guys grow up.

Earlier last week, Broo's Kaci and Karrot Kreek Carson had a litter of 2 very fat and shiney kits.  Both appear to be blue tort, but time will tell.  They are doing great.

With all of these babies, we should have some for sale in about 8 weeks, so check back.

Nest box News

We had 2 Does kindle this week, GBF's Tinsel bred to SRR Bunny Boy Blue, and FP Nugget bred to GBF's Contraband.

Tinsel had 4 kits, but 2 were DOA, 1 was a peanut, and 1 was alive and kicking.  Sadly the peanut died at 4 days old.  It was really hard to have this happen.  Tinsel is a broken and so is Bunny boy, but the little peanut was going to be a full fledged broken.  The baby that did survive, and is doing well, appears to be a charlie.  We will see when he/she gets older if he has enough color to show.

Nugget was a 1st time mom, and unfortunately lost all 6 of her kits.  She pulled fur and had them in the nest box like she was supposed to, and we even had a heat lamp on them.  But it just wasn't meant to be.  They were all black.  I was really wanting to see how these turned out.

So out of 10 babies born, one survived.

We bred Broo's Kaci and LL Bridgitte both to Karrot Kreek Carson this week.  Hopefully we will have better luck with these litters.

I will post pics of our new little charlie as soon as he is old enough.

Until next time, Beth.

BOB for FP Long Kiss Goodnight

FP Long Kiss Goodnight went BOB today at the GPRBA 4H Show.  She received her first ARBA leg today.  Kelli Slack was the judge.  Five Pines Manny also won his class today out of 6 giving him his first ARBA Leg.  We are really excited to have 2 homegrown rabbits do so well.

FP Long Kiss Goodnight BIS

FP Long Kiss Goodnight went BIS at the Elkhart County 4H Learning Show on Saturday 2-23.  She is by Karrot Kreek Carson and Broo's Kaci.  She beat out her daddy for Best of Breed, he got Best Opposite.  She then went on to win best 4 class Rabbit, and then BIS.  This was only a learning show, and not ARBA Sanctioned, but we were excited and floored none the less, she just turn 3 month's old.  I hope she keeps her type as she matures.
