Hi Peg, i know you are really busy but if you have a spare 5 mins can i have a tiny pic and abunjovi pic. I am getting withdrawl symptoms at not seeing them :DHave you had any more baby buns?
 
Tiny & Bun Jovi...hmm...may see what I can do on that later this week.

Do we have any more baby buns???? Can I cry?

:laugh::bigtears:

Well - those are a start for how I feel right now.

As many of you may remember - I have does that live together on the floor of the rabbitry. They usually get along just fine and so things go great.

Well - I broke my own rule last month when I put Marmalade in a bottom cage. I only put bucks at higher levels - but I was out of space for him in there other than the bottom cage and I didn't want to put him in the garage.

One day I went in and found that Aggie had let herself in his cage. (What I didn't know was that apparently Sundae had paid him a visit too). So we have 8 babies from those two mamas....

But a few days later - he got let out of his cage. I thought he was only out for about 15 minutes or so because I'd been in there to let the dog out and then came in a few minutes later and his cage door was open. Maybe I was wrong...maybe he was out longer...

'Cause we're just now finding out how many does a young energetic buck can "play" with during an escape.

So yeah....I have more babies....and I'm waiting for what I hope will be the last of the does to deliver.

Fortunately, they'll all be chocolate carriers.

Ok...now I'm going back to :bigtears::laugh:

Peg

P.S. He is now out in the garage anyway! As are a bunch of other bucks....

EDITED TO ADD: I didn't want him in the garage 'cause I didn't want him to go sterile over the summer due to the heat. Now .... let's just say I threatened him with losing certain parts if he ever did this again. At least he can't get to any does in the garage...

ooh I remember seeing Marmalade now, hes very handsome. No wonder the ladies couldnt stay away!

Dont beat yourself up, Peg. These kinds of things happen all the time. We try our best to keep unneutered boys and unspayed girls far away from eachother at the rescue, but we've had a few accidents. It happens.

I guess that just means every RO member will have to adopt a little lionhead in 8 weeks to even things out :p

Alicia, you go first ;)
 
Amy,

The caged girls are cussing you out big time...how you hung around long enough to observe them....cage them....and then take off. They're especially peeved with you that they're in cages and they say it is all your fault.

Two of the does that have had kits - we didn't cage...one being Maggie Mae and the other one being a darker doe that we weren't sure about. Its hilarious cause Maggie had five and this girl had six...and both girls stayed slim somewhat.

The girls who got big? Two babies....three babies....

Of the ones we've caged I think there are four or five still waiting - plus the two in the living room. I swear Puckenny (Loppy) is refusing to have those babies till you are back here to see them....I could've sworn she was trying to tie her legs together so she wouldn't give birth. She keeps telling Acacia, "You first..."...and Acacia is like, "Me? I'm just FAT...".

I swore I wasn't going to share about this on the board....but I've decided to share because I want folks to understand just how much "fun" a buck can have in a little bit of time. I swear Marmalade is gloating now when I go out to feed him...

I hope to have a final count in about 24-36 hours.

The funniest part is....the majority of the girls he bred with....I would've been breeding him to anyway later on.

Peg

P.S. Sundae's litter is starting to open their eyes - I hope to get pics this week and may do a "watch the lionheads grow" thread again...I haven't decided yet.
 
Well, it looks like Loppy is giving up and going to start nesting after all.

I'm excited about this litter 'cause her dad is Puck (Broken black otter carrying chocolate) and the dad of the babies is chocolate tort...

Meaning if my luck goes well (which it probably won't) - I could wind up with chocolate or broken chocolate lionlop....

So go Loppy go...and let's hope you carry chocolate from your daddy...

Hehehe. I like her a loooot.
 
Ah Peg you should have called him Houdini lol, no wonder we haven't seen you much lol. thats quite a brood i bet he has a smile on his face for a good couple of weeks lol,

Give him a star for having a massive mojo :D
 
Well - we're done having litters from dear sweet Marmalade. I don't have my notes in front of me - I think we had 9 litters with 31 babies. Unfortunately, between peanuts and first time mamas not doing what they should...we're down to under 20 babies and will probably wind up with 14 babies. That's not count Sundae's five babies - or Aggie's three babies or Sport's five babies (one of which I think is a harlequin and will carry chocolate).

Loppy - is just fat - not pregnant (sorry Amy - so is Loppy..she was caged all those days when she kept insisting she wasn't pregnant). So is Hyacinth and Acacia (REW) - all just fat.

About half the does Amy & I locked up weren't pregnant - just fat.

So that is what is happening here...I'll try to take pics later this week.

Sundae's babies have opened their eyes and are learning to walk and run and ...binky. One binkied right into mama's face tonight and she wasn't overly thrilled.
