Hello to all the members on RabbitsOnline! :hello
Since it's the beginning of a new year (2009!!) I have decided to start a new blog in joint with my sister (BSAR). We will try and update as often as possible!
If you're new to the forum, or haven't heard of my bunnies before, then let me introduce you!
Our Story:
In March of 2005, me and my sister badly wanted rabbits. We built a hutch and got all the supplies and bought our first two, Magic & Autumn, from a friend down the road. Magic & Autumn are mixes. That May, Autumn had her first litter - surprising us, because we thought Magic was the girl and Autumn was the boy (previous names: Magic's was Freedom, before that Velvet Lullaby; And Autumn's was Thumper).
In her first litter, was Moonstar, Artie, Joy & Gracie; Another kid was DOA (dead on arrival). We kept Arite and Gracie, but ended up selling Gracie in 2007 sometime. Moonstar and Joy found great homes as well, and we just found Artie a wonderful home this past summer, and they live very close to us!
Autumn had three more litters after her first litter - the 2nd litter died, because, since we were inexperienced, we gave Autumn a cardboard box to kindle in, and the kits crawled out - freezing It was sad. This litter was a total of 8. In her third litter, there were nine babies...(I can't remember all their names). In her last litter, in 2006, Autumn had 6 babies.
The next bunnies to join our herd were Lily (at the end of '06), Willow & Savannah in the Spring of '07. Lily we acquired from our good friend who'd had her for almost a year, and they were looking for a new home for her. She had lived as a house bunny. Willow & Savannah we got from our cousins. They were kind of a surprise for us and we didn't know we were getting them until our aunt came and dropped them off, along with a hutch and a cage.
After Lily, Willow & Savannah, we acquiredBruce, in October of 2007. We had seen him at the Thurston County Fair that year and wanted to get him for breeding w/ Lily, not knowning that she was too old to breed. In November of 2007, we got Mississippi. I had always wanted and English Lop, and our older sister agreed to pay for him as a late birthday/early christmas gift.
In February of 2008, we bred Lily. She had a litter of 4, but only 1 survived due to her being old. Enter Ray, Bruce & Lily's son. We made bad mistakes but we have definitley learned from them.
In July of 2008, we bought Minnesota to breed with Sippi.
Our last bunny to join the herd, is Sage. We bought her in November to breed with Ray.
Currently, we are expecting a litter from Sage & Ray during the 2nd week of January. Next week, we are expecting a totally unplanned litter from Mississippi and Autumn. Sippi wasn't supposed to breed with her, but he broke out of his cage and got into hers. See the thread here: http://rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=41828&forum_id=8
