OMG I love those Pal babies!

I always have trouble telling which are your rescues to be rehomed and which are your pets. Which are these?

 

Some of these Babies will gointo A Reputable Breeders Lineand 3 Of these babies will stay with me .I have been Facinated withthemsince I spotted Rose's Bub inthis forum , he is breath taking , MyDreams of Silver Fox has to be put onhold as all 3 of her littersdue Missed ( sob ) So I willtake up with the Paliminos theyare just as striking and rareas the Silver Fox is . NO I do not intendto breed but to study them andget a line on their breed andtemperment. so far I have onesuper snotty baby and onesuper sweet baby , the other 5 dont muchcare as long as food isprovided lol .

[rabbitgirl]

LOVE this pics, gypsy!!! Congrats on the new babies, and my very favorites too.

Check this out.....

4 wk. babies:

8wk. old Bub:

Bub was HUGE at that age!:shock:

Rose

 

HugeRose heck he is as Bigas My French lop at 11 weeksold!!!!!! I call My FL Chaz Moose !

Bub is certainly a Stunning little ( HUge) Guy he is the Dudethat got me interested inthe Pal line , I was shockedto see Mother was a Lynx !Pleased but totally Shocked Ihad no clue they came in that color !The Father of thesebabies is also a Lynx, Full Pedigrees which isawsome .

These Little ones area bit smaller than I expected, but then again Im not sure what she wasfeeding I did ask but recievedno answer , But they will be brought upto weight and speed shortly Ihave them on purina andcomercial grain mixed together ,thats what I feed everyone ,and everyone is maintainingsize and weight .

The Mother appeared tome to be a little underweight forher length , I would guesstamateher weight at around 10pounds + or -- Im not sure of whather weight should be,so any advice would greatlybe appreciated , with this informationI can be sure to feedproperly to get the babies upand going easily ,

Edit for another comment :

Rose If I didntknow how old these babies are Iwould swear they were only 4 weeks likethe picture of Bub , they areabout the same size now ashe was at 4 weeks !:shock:

Should I suppliment the babeiswith Vitamins or anything special? I want to insure proper boneand muscle development , they are in ahuge double hutch for thetemporary , when they come outof Quarenteen they will havehuge hutchs like the otherspoiled bunnies havelol .

I have had a heat andalfalfa sacre once already andhave eliminated it from my barn , shouldthey have the alfalfaor should I just stickwith the Timothy , or go withan Orchard grass for them, sorry so many questions butI want to insure that everythingis done right with this breed. This is a breed I know verylittle about and Im sure I willbe having many panic attacks andquestions hope no one minds .

WOW Gypsy......just as I've been saying "no more"....you go and get Palominos and make me want some.....

But.....with our latest additions - we're up to 43 now for our herd and pets.......and that's without Lava delivering yet.

So I'll just be a "palomino-fan" through watching yours grow up.

Peg

P.S. If they're as big as I think they'll grow to be....I'd put them on Calf Mana like we do for Tiny!

 

[rabbitgirl]

Yeah, I could call Bub "Moose"too.I'm realizing what a big boy he was and is! I didn'tbelieve my eyes until I saw the date on the pics: Aug. 4. He was bornJune 12.:shock:

10 lbs. isn't unusual for Pal females--it depends on the size of theirframes. Usually they top out around 11--but Tank was absolutelymassive. She lost a lot of weight with nursing, sharing food withbabies, etc., and she was still 11 lbs. or so. I'd guess her normalweight between 12 and 14.

I fed plain pellets, with a bit of oats and the occasional dried wholewheat bread chunk. But I'm talking only like 4 one-inch-long chunks fornine babies and mum to fight over. It was sooo funny. Tank would grabthe bread and run with her head up, keeping it just out of reach andscattering babies like bowling pins as she made for the temporary havenof the box. One would dive in after and she'd come flying out again.Or, even funnier: one baby distracted mum by leaping for her bread,while the other snuck a quick snack at the "milk bar". Poor Tank.

Oh yes, I gave some very limited greens too. If you have a good safe vit. supplement, it's not a bad idea.

I also don't feed hay in general, and usedstraw forbedding....so couldn't say anything about alfalfa from experience. I dolike marsh hay though for bedding now. Less dusty irritants, and edibletoo.

Good luck!! They'll be fine, you always do great.

Rose

P.S. HINT: they are very strong-willed and intelligent so might want tocorrect gently but firmly any defiance or aggression. Baby Pals areTROUBLE!!!:shock:Oh, the stories!!!!
