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)

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.
