Athena's 2nd litter - 21 days old

 I can't believe these little babies have gotten so big! They're getting more and more adventurous and have even started nibbling on their mom's pellet food. We lost the one little spotted baby due to frostbite. His whole foot was shriveled and we couldn't save him.

I might keep this little girl, I'm thinking of naming her Clementine. I love her coloring! She is a broken orange/tort color.

This little pose of hers was adorable! :)

The orange bow tied in nicely with her orange coloring!

This poor little guy is missing some digits. The whole litter got affected by frostbite. It snowed the day they were born and I noticed these black scab like spots on their back legs and on some of their toes. I later found out these little scabs were from frostbite. I have been applying triple antibiotic ointment to the affected areas and the scabs have fallen off and the sores are healing nicely. The growth has been stunted on the toes that have been affected. Most of this little guy's toes had it. They are doing very well, thankfully! :)

This little guy is a lot tinier than his siblings. The reason they all look so shinny and a little greasy is because of the triple antibiotic ointment.

He has a tort coloring. He's so cute and tiny! He has a really sweet personality too! :)

This chunky little girl is adorable! I'm thinking of keeping her too. I don't have any solid color adult mini lops! So it's about time. :)

This boy is really sweet. His one ear didn't want to lop down for the picture!

It's much easier to get a picture of all of these guys since there are only 4 than to get a picture of Bonnie's 9! It's very difficult to get them to all look at the camera at the same time!

Thanks for checking out my posting!

Bonnie's 1st Litter

This is a post that was saved in my drafts. It was from Bonnie's first litter last year. I never got around to publishing it for some reason or another. I got some really neat colors and hopefully I will see those unique colors come out in her current litter. 

This female in the pink bow was tri colored, orange/white/tort with a VM marking. 

This female with a green bow was tri colored, orange/white/tort with a VM marking.

This male was orange and white. He had a bit of a VM marking.

"This girl I'm thinking about keeping, she has a cream coloring to her and a darker grey nose and ears. She is also VM marked and has a sweet personality. I think I could get some cool colorings from her in the summer! She and my male, Winston, would make some really neat colored kits. I'm very excited to see what next year brings me with all the litters! This is my last litter of 2019 since it's starting to get cooler out. :)" - That is what I had written under this picture. I did keep her but I bred her with my male, Jelly Bean instead of Winston. This is Sage.

"I'm really excited about this girl!! Her coloring is so pretty! She has a light spotted brownish coloring and the nose is a little darker than the rest. She's a little smaller than the other two girls but shes really sweet and I'm glad I'm keeping her." - I was really excited about her colors. She was a light brown color, I have never seen a bunny with her coloring before. Unfortunately she passed away last year.

Another picture of this sweetie! :)

"This boy is cool looking! If I were keeping males I would defiantly keep him. He's got a neat color pattern and his ear looks like it's been dipped in white paint! He's rather neat and like his other siblings, he's got a VM marking." I ended up talking myself into keeping Fyedka and I'm glad I did! I'm hoping I can keep their color line going. And also, Bonnie fostered in this litter too, so he and Sage might actually be from a different mom than Bonnie. I think their mom was Lucy, who's sister was a stunning tri colored mini lop. She was black brown and white and I really wanted to keep her. Unfortunately she and her whole litter got bloat, the only survivor from that litter was her one chocolate male, Jelly Bean.  

"This girl is neat looking too, I like her ears how they have grey and white throughout. Her body is spotted more so than the others which looks really cool." - This is Fiona. I loved her color and wish I would have kept her as a breeder instead of selling her. 

She really knows how to pose for a picture! :)

This little tri colored male was handsome! He had a VM marking too. :)

Trying to get all eight of them to stay still and look at the camera was a bit hard, although the orange ones just sat there, it was mostly the third once in from the right that was super active! (Fiona)

From left to right: Sage, Juno, Fyedka, Fiona.

Fyedka and Sage are two of my current breeders. I was hoping to keep Fiona, but I sold her since i was going to be keeping the other two females, Juno and Sage. Just a week or two after I sold Fiona (who's name got changed to Violet after I sold her), Juno passed away unexpectedly. She broke her back by jumping off of a hut in their cage. A few of her siblings died the same way and I removed the hut. We have never had issues like that before but a few bunnies in that litter died the same way. Since I sold Fiona and Juno died, I only had Fyedka and Sage. I'm hoping there will be similar colored female bunnies in Sage's litter that i can raise up to become breeders. There are two that I think could possibly have their coloring. I'm hoping they're females. Unfortunately this is going to be Sage's last litter as she cannot properly take care of her babies.

These ones were all unnamed since I sold them and wasn't planning on keeping any.

Athena's 2nd litter - 5 days old

This is Athena and Fyedka's first litter together. It's Athena's second litter in total. This little babies are 5 days old! They're starting to get a little more adventurous, the one baby crawled outside and managed to get his head stuck in the bottom of the cage! Fortunately Athena let me get him out and didn't attack me. She was very worried and started licking him while I was getting him lose. 

These little babies all have such beautiful caramel and tort colors. Unfortunately this morning we lost one. He was away from the others and I think he just got too cold through the night. 

This bunny is broken caramel. I'm really hoping this one's a girl that I can keep! I absolutely love the caramel color in bunnies! In that back you can see another broken caramel bunny. That one is a little smaller than the rest and I hope it's going to make it! Yesterday my mom and I brought it in and gave it some formula. I'm not sure if it's a peanut or just not getting as much milk as the others. Tomorrow morning I'm going to bring it inside and give it more formula. I really want this little guy to make it!!

There they all are! Snug as bugs in rugs! :)

Here's their sweet mama! She's been so insanely good with her babies and with me! She lets me look at her babies and even let me save her baby from the wire yesterday. All she did was sniff my hand and lick her baby, she luckily didn't attack me. She's a very good mama. She has a very calm and sweet disposition, and hopefully that wonderful characteristic will be passed on to her babies! :)

Bonnie's 2nd litter - 5 days old

It has been 5 days since these little babies were born! They're starting to get fur and are looking super cute!

They're all bundled up in their nest!

I love it when a litter is all different. Some times a litter will be all the same color, but it's fun to get litters where each bunny has different colors/patterns. 

Most of the babies have spots. Only 1 looks like it's going to be a solid color. It's a white one. 

Only a few more days until their eyes open!

:)

The one to the left has two tiny spots on his back and just a few markings on his face!

This baby has a caramel spot going down it's back. Caramel is a rare color and I'm excited to see what it will look like when it's older! It's too young to check it's gender, but I'm really hoping it will be a girl so I can keep her for future litters! 

This baby looks like it's going to be a dark chocolate color, like it's father. This baby is one of the one's being fostered by Bonnie from Sage's litter. His father, Jelly Bean, has a beautiful broken chocolate coat!

This baby looks like it's going to be all white. It's the only baby from all of my litters that is pure white. I'm excited to see if it will have dark eyes or be an albino rabbit!

This baby is broken black/white. I got some stunning coat colors from these litters!

This baby looks a lot like a rabbit we used to have, Leedasha. She had a similar pattern in that around her eyes was spotted and a little bit of her coat was spotted but the majority of her coat was white. Leedasha was a Flemish Giant though, and this little guy is a mini lop!

This little baby is broken grey. 

This is Sage. She is the birth mother of 4 of the kits. She has a gorgeous color and I'm hoping that's going to go down in her kits. She had two other litters in the winter but they all froze. This is going to be her last litter and then I'm going to sell her as a pet. Unfortunately she won't be used as a breeder any longer since she's been such a bad mother. I have her brother, Fyedka though, and he sired Athena's litter. 

I love Sage's stunning colors, She has a lovely broken cream body with a dark brown nose. She's very sweet and it's a bummer that I can't keep her as a breeder.

Bonnie is such a good foster mom! This is her second litter total and the second time she's fostered! She hasn't lost any babies yet, of her own or that she's fostered.
