Baby Tans

[fuzz16]

You make me want a tan more now...saw one at a show a couple months ago, it was a lilac and i just fell for it lol. but the things i hear about how fragile they are turn me off

 

[ldoerr]

Sorry you lost the litter

 

[woahlookitsme]

I'm sorry too :/ ill probably rebreed mom in a couple of days. Today is 14 days with beyonce. I've always been bad at palpating her so I might try but with no luck probably we will see.

And actually we've noticed they are a really hardy breed that can live in most weather conditions without any real affect to them. The only thing you have to watch is them pulling on the wire and breaking teeth. Out of the four years we have had them we've only had one that broke her leg in her cage. I think that's a downfall for them is their on edge or active nature is that they can scare and injure themselves. They are really striking aren't they

They are like the magestic greyhounds of the rabbit world

No pics of tans but these polish are the cutest!! Both are boys which mom isn't very happy about.

This one is the most skittish if you can't tell by the I'm going to have a heart attack look LOL

The tan babies are going to their first show today and tomorrow so ill try to post pics of course

They sure are cute! I've always adopted adults but love seeing pictures of other people's babies. I imagine that black Polish is what Watson would have looked like when he was a baby.

awh, look at those wittle faces!!

 

[ldoerr]

SOOOO cute The black one in the second picture has a grumpy look on his face Good luck at the show.

 

[Blaze_Amita]

Yes Good luck at the show, and really? they break teeth that easily? I'm worried about the break-ability of them.

I love the Tans. At the shows do people sell rabbits also? I have had a hard time finding "different" breeds around here like tans. They are so pretty!

 

[woahlookitsme]

Well i think the teeth thing goes with any rabbit that chews on the cage wire. We saw an english spot do it at a show once also. If they are chewing on the wire the thing I dont do is push on their noses. Tans hate that and it startles every tan i own which can cause them to jerk back and hurt themselves (this is how I saw a tan break a tooth because the comment taker did it. . .). I'm not sure if they break easier than any other breed but Belgian hares are the ones I've heard are much more fragile. Like I said in 4 years of raising them we only had one that broke her leg because she got spooked.

People do sell rabbits for pretty cheap at shows but also it depends on your area. Some breeds are more rare than others but tans are becoming more popular now. Most breeds for sale are mini rex, hollands, and netherland dwarfs but if you see a breeder with a breed you like talk to them and see if they have anything they could sell at home or get a card and contact them at a later time. I love getting people into my breed and Im sure others feel the same way!

MY HEART EXPLODES FROM THE CUTENESS EVERYTIME I LOOK AT THIS THREAD!!! How do you let them go!?

 

[woahlookitsme]

LOL it can be pretty hard but we know we dont have room for everyone
I have some pics from the past show Here they are I dont remember who is who but you can see the ear tattoos in the polish ears. EPA is the small baby from earlier and SEA is my moms older black baby that went to convention. I like both of them

my blue almost won BOB it was so close and I was pretty happy but upset she didnt get it if only mikey judged them . . .

 

[ldoerr]

So you had the same judge for both breeds? Who was he? He looks familiar but I am at a loss for names

 

[woahlookitsme]

Don mersiovsky. He is the TRBA president. He did judge both for the first show. We got two different people the second time

 

[ldoerr]

I was thinking he looked familiar.

 

[wendymac]

Well, when I come and swipe a few Polish from your mom, I'll be sure to grab a few Tans while I'm there. haha Love the pics! I wish we had that much space to walk around in at our shows...we're literally elbow to elbow, with no empty floor space to be found. I can't take big crowds, so usually spend a lot of time out with the smokers. LOL

 

[BinkyBunny]

If all your tans go missing in the night....I don't know anything :spintongue
