I haven't updated in over a year and a TON has changed! Mainly the fact that we added Standard Rex to the barn last November, and have so far had just one litter. Since we are a small rabbitry, we don't have a ton of litters per year, and we only had one doe at the time & 2 bucks, but now we have 2 does & 2 bucks (though attempting to rehome our Black Otter Rex in order to bring in another colour that will work better with what we want to breed.)

We had several litters this year -a couple Netherland Dwarf litters that didn't survive. :( Unfortunately the does we had had to be put down as they were sick, so we only have our Netherland Dwarf buck, Bear, and he will be going back to his breeder, Shaded Night Rabbitry, at our next show, which is November 12th.

We had 2 litters of Mini Rex, and one litter of Rex. We've sold a few babies, but still have quite a few left, so I'll share pictures of them! :)

- This is our Broken Lynx Rex buck, Phalix. We love this colour and are wanting to breed Lynx Rex!

- Our Castor Rex buck, Zora. Mommy to the babies this year, and Phalix is the dad.

- Cowboy! He's out of Kailua and Rowdy. I just took him to his new home this past weekend, and he's getting neutered tomorrow and then will get to live with his Holland Lop girlfriend once he's all healed!

- Bentley, a Castor Rex Jr buck at 8 weeks. He's a little HAM! Very friendly and acts like a little puppy. His colour has come in much nicer now, too. :)

- This is Bria (on the left) and her brother Bailey on the right. Siblings to Bentley. We are keeping Bria and will be breeding her soon hopefully. :) Bailey is just like his brother and such an attention hog.

- This is Dusty. He is the keeper buck out of our two MR litters this year. We are selling the rest of our White Mini Rex, and are going to add one or two coloured does and possibly a coloured buck. :) Dusty is a spitting image of his dad, Rowdy. He loves flirting with the girls already.

I will try and update more oftenwhen I can.There are tons more pictures floating around that I will have to get uploaded to photobucket. And then of course there will be even new photos!

I made another thread in the general rabbit section, introducing my new boy, Kaelum, but I figured I also needed to add him to my blog. :)

As some or most of you know, I also lost Magic, my heartbunny on November 23rd. It was hard to let him go, but I knew his time was coming soon. As much as you know, you still want them to hold on just a little bit longer, because you're really truly never ready to lose someone. It is still difficult to look at old pictures of him, and some songs remind me of him. I am hoping to get started on a tribute video for him soon.

Kaelum came into my life just about a week or two before I lost Magic, with the sole intention of him replacing Magic as my rabbit hopper, definitely not as my first rabbit, though. I am also going to 'lease' him out to one of my 4-Hers to use for 4-H. He's not keen on the whole posing thing just yet, and likes to nip a lot! Hopefully he'll get over this.

He's already had some hopping lessons and he's picking it up super fast! Already jumping about 4 inches, and we'll keep it at that height for a while know. He has no form over the jumps. He doesn't really tuck yet. He goes so fast he just throws himself up and over, does twists, etc. It's so cute. So before we get any higher, he'll need to learn how to collect and control himself. lol.

Here are some videos from yesterday's training session. The first one is a blooper - SO wish my sister had recorded all of it. It was so funny.



And this 2nd one is him actually completing the course. I love his enthusiasm and complete craziness. <3



And now some photos. :)

Got some new pictures of a few of the rabbits! :) It was gorgeous out today, and I picked up a new harness for Kaelum yesterday, so I took him out on it today!
