Emma's Babies

I forgot to post about this but Emma had a litter of 4 babies on Father's Day! Very pretty colors too! Chocolate Chesnuts and Lynxes :-) The sire is Cody, so my first Cody babies! Third generation Silent Springs Bunnies :-)

All the babies together. :-)

A fatty chocolate chesnut baby, LOL.

Updates!

Well, since you last heard from me, school has ended and I am enjoying my first week of summer vacation :) ! And a lot of rabbit stuff has happened too :P.

First of all, I think I am going to Pomona on 6/14! I really hope I end up going, I want to go sooo bad. Plus, I would get to work with a registrar there :) After that I would only have 1 more judge and then I will be done!

Cinnamon has left and has started her journey to get to Nicole :) She should be there in a few more weeks. Her kids that I have kept are looking promising. Her latest litter is molting out of their junior coats so they are unpresentable, but their bodies are looking promising :) I look forward to showing them after summer (darn summer and it's no rabbit shows! lol)

I have also added a new bunny to my rabbitry - a solid black doe names Allison :) She is very promising and she carries chocolate! I will try and get pictures of her, along with all my current juniors, once they molt out of their baby coats :-)

Oh, and I updated my For Sale page today!

That's all for now!

Cinnamon's babies.

I have decided to keep 2 babies from Cinnamon's and Sundance's litter. I really wanted to keep a doe, since Cinnamon will hopefully be leaving to go to Velotta's Rabbitry next month, so I am keeping the lilac chinchilla doe. I wasn't planning on keeping another buck, since I already have Cody and he is a very, very nice buck, but this chocolate chinchilla buck was too nice to let go to someone else! I am anxious to see them develop and breed them in the fall. The buck will be bred to my non-chocolate carrier does (Sidney and Silver) while his brother will get my other does. The doe will be outcrossed to Ryan, to add some new blood into the gene pool, or back to Sundance. I haven't thought up of names for them yet, but I will soon hopefully.

Both of the babies together =P

Bakersfield Results!

The highlight of the show for us was taking BOSB in the Open Mini Lop Specialty with Silent Spring's Cody. This is Cody's 4th leg, all junior. He is doing really well! He still has a few more shows until he turns senior, so hopefully he can win a few more legs. I got a really nice frame for the award. Congrats to the Deucks, who won BOB with their broken doe, Lilo!

I sold Nick and Natasha to my friend, Lizz Brown, Hannah to Jess and Tina, and the lilac chinchilla junior doe to a nice 4H family :-) It was a great show! I was going to try and buy some water bottles and new hooks, but I didn't have any time. I also need a new carrier, my old 4-hole is getting too old for me!
