Hey guys! We haven't updated in a while so I figured I would!
The past week in a half (or so) has been pretty nasty here, so the bunnies haven't been getting much play time. Yesterday when we cleaned cages, we put Sage, Cadbury, Cassidy, Chancey and Louiee out in the pens so they got some run time.
Lily got to come out and run around the rabbitry while we were cleaning cages. It's so funny because you'll open her door, turn around and the next minute she's gone! Haha. Her cage is low to the ground, so it's easy for her to jump in/out. Yesterday we did switch her to the larger hutch as the babies are going to be coming out of the nestbox soon; so now if she wants out we have to lift her down/up.
We have three hutches that have some small holes in them!!! The wooden floors are just rotting away from pee/water and so we are working to get some new cages very soon, but the thing is we also need to downsize on rabbits. We have7 that are looking for new homes: Sippi, Minnie (after state fair), Cadbury, Chancey (after state fair), Louiee, Bruce, and Willow. I keep getting e-mails about them, but then the people don't e-mail me back after I send pictures. It would be nice if they could just e-mail to say they weren't interested anymore, but I'm getting upset that they're wasting my time and effort. So now on the Ad I have put "Serious Inquiries only" etc. etc.
In other news, Lily's babies are 2 weeks old tomorrow!! Crazy! Two of them are Blue Viennas, and the other two are solid Blues. They are really quite cute.
Sage's babies are 14 weeks old today. Cadbury and Louiee had to be seperated because after fair they were letting their "manlyness" show...:rollseyesSo they're no longer together. As soon as one bunny leaves, then we'll seperate the girls as well, just so they can have some more room.
We updated our website with some new info and new pictures of the bunnies! Going to take new pictures of the rabbitry today since it's clean! haha. So go check it out: http://www.blueskyacresrabbitry.net76.net You should sign the guestbook, too! (Find it on the Home Page) since we have no signatures in it yet!!
We've been having to dust the bunnies with DE (not sure what it's called. Hard to pronounce but my 4-H leader uses it for her bunnies and she gave us a bag of it; she actually found the fur mites when she was tattooing! Lucky she came!)because they had fur mites three days before fair! Luckily the fur mites got killed before fair and no one got sent home at vet check. You have to keep them on a 5-week cycle though, so 2 more weeks to dust. That way all eggs are killed.
Hmm...I'm not sure if there's anything else...haha. We're going to take the bunnies outside for exercise today (and Magic will get trained!) since it's nice; So you can expect some pictures either tomorrow or Tuesday! But here are the most recent pictures!
Bruce. He didn't want his picture taken! Haha. (Oh, I took most of these pictures; using my sister's fancy camera! Which I love! And must get one! )
Lily running out in the rabbitry.
I am going to love it the day Lily finally becomes a house bunny. (When I move out. Haha, she's going with me!) She was before we got her, and you can totally tell that's where she belongs again (unfortunately my mom won't allow her to be....just yet! We're working on convincing her though! Maybe after Lils is spayed?!) She will come over to you when she's out and stand up on you, talk to you. It's so cute. She also likes saying Hi to all the other bunnies.
Ready for Cuteness Overload?
They have their eyes open!!!
Aww!! So cute!
Snuggling in the nestbox!
Close-up!
This is the baby I'm naming. The one with the most white markings. Also the runt.
Their so adorable!
The other night I had them in the house and they were running all over the blanket on the ground. I would make kissy noises and they would ziiiippp right on over to me. They would snuggle as close as they could to me too. It was too adorable!! I even got some baby bunny kisses. These little guys like to bite more than Sage's babies did. I've been nipped tons of times already! haha.
Magic. Whenever you open his door, he always looks out like this. It makes it difficult to get a good picture of him! haha.
So handsome! :inlove:
My youngest nephew, Jack, and Magic. Magic is his favourite bunny....which makes sense, because I'm his favourite aunt.
Mr. Handsome again. :biggrin2:
Minnie does the same thing Magic does when you open her cage: Lean out!! haha. When I took this picture I told her to just stay back in her cage. I really like this pic of her! One of my favourite ones while she's in her cage.
She spends a LOT of time laying down nowadays.
Sippers! This was actually taken last week sometime.
Sage-y girl.
She's still the shy little thing she always has been, but we're hoping to work with her more and get her more used to people. She just needs more attention and all. I remember that Magic was like that when we first got him, but after quite a while he started warming up too us. Mandi likes taking Sage out on the harness, so I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, they might be able to do some rabbit hopping after they form a better bond, and then that might make Sage open up some more.
Louiee!
Chancey and Cassidy exercising a couple days ago.
Mr. Cadbury!
The babies remind me so much of their parents! Cass and Chancey are just like Sage, while Cad and Lou are just like Ray! Not just their appearence (haha) but the way they act, too. It's really crazy. I find myself calling Cadbury, 'Ray', all the time. haha.
And here's the gorgeous diva, Savannah, for Ali!
So that's all! No new Willow or Ray pictures...but they'll be some soon!
