FINE!
I weaned Calisto's babies a little earlier than I'd have liked at 5.5 weeks of age. Then I just heaped the milk replacer ontheir pellets. They were fine. They grew fat. And I put them in their own larger cage and its at face level, so when I ope nteh door to feed they all stick thier heads out and give me bunny kisses. But once the food hits the dish I no longer exist.
I ended up with one opal doe, one opal buck, and a chin doe. The guy from New Jersey came on Dec 24th in the early morning and took home the little opal doe. His 5 year old daughter named her Maisey.
I'm keeping the opal buck to breed to Demon next year. The chin doe i'm trying to sell currently. She'll be such a sweet doe. And a nice show rabbit.
Shortly before xmas a woman from Philly called me and said her daughter has been asking for a rabbit for ages. They've been all over the internet doing research and her daughter (she's older) decided a Dutch was best for them, which is how they came across my website. She was asking about shipping.
I told her shipping is expensive. But I had a guy coming from NJ to pick up a lop, maybe he could pick up her dutch and she could just pay him for his time?
So I called NJ gu yand ran it past him and he gave me permission to give his number to Philly lady and they worked things out and I called everyone yesterday and every one made it home safely and everyone is in love with their bunnies.
Demon ended up fostering the last 2 babies from Paris's litter and lost one from her own litter. So she has 6 now. 4 of her own broken chestnuts and then a solid chestnut and opal from Paris. They just opened their eyes over the last two days and started hopping out of the nest box, i just can't contain the little buggers. Every morning they're sleeping under her ears. And she just chills and dotes over them. She's been justa terriffic mom. Especially for a first-timer.
The baby of hers that I had to revive particularly seems to like me. I take him out and play with him a lot. He peed on me twice. He peed on Erron too. Its love, I tell you.
The End.
