Its been a rough couple of days. Richard & Diane - the couple who bought three of Nyx's girls...lost one of them on Saturday. I'm devastated - we have some suspicions of what it was - but not 100% sure. They are such awesome people and great bunny slaves - this just hurts so bad.

In addition - Sophia has sore hocks. They're not infected - just very calloused - not overly large spots but there are two of them.

Yesterday Art gave her a bath (long story) and ever since then - she's been laying at my feet during her playtime - she will nudge me to pet her and she gave me a few kisses too.

For those who remember when Tiny lived in the office while I worked - you'll understand how emotional this is making me since Tiny used to do the exact same thing.

I'm thinking about talking to Art about letting her become a house bunny (free range) when the other bunnies are in the bunny barn because it seems like being locked up in a cage - even a good size cage - isn't good for her.

Oh there she goes - nudging me again...and giving me kisses.

Gotta go - I'm starting to tear up again and want to cry. I love her doing it - but it makes me miss Tiny so much.

): so good that she is so nice, and personally it seems kind of a gift that she resembles Tiny in a way, not to sound all angel and supersticious. But maybe a peice of him still hangs out and he knows you need him right now and so hes guiding her...if that makes sense.

its too bad about loosing one of the bunnys, im sure that must have been as hard for you as the new family. ):

BABIES!! So adorable! I see little baby bunneh teeth in one of those pictures. :faint:

I'm sorry about the loss of Nyx's kit. It just seems she was not destined to have as large a litter as she gave birth to. *sigh*

I posted this in the rabbitry - but decided I'd love to post it here too.

It is from Barbi Brown's rabbitry website (She gave me permission years ago to share it as long as I mentioned it was from her site).

"You spend more time cleaning nest boxes than cleaning the house."

Erm....Honey?!? Does this not sound like someone I know??

 

[hartleybun]

anic:some of that applies to me! and i only have two bunnies...ok i really think i've got the rabbit habit:wink

 

[Bassetluv]

You'll drive 400 miles at 2 in the morning for a rabbit show but going across town to your mother-in-law's for dinner is "too far".

hehe...I like this one...:biggrin:

Great list! Hehe, 6 of those apply to me and I'm sure more would if I actually was a breeder.

Can we get some pictures of the cute little Holland Lop on the previous page? Is that Puckina? She's so sweet!

No - actually I should get some pictures of Puckina...what a brat.

That little girl is Sassy. She's about to be bred to Zuba. I also have Cindy - and Sher. I'm trying to decide whether to take Sher (who is a big girl) to Zuba (who is my best buck) or to Finnster who isn't as nice - but is coming along nicely. I don't want to wear Zuba out on all three girls...although he is more than willing.

Here are some "professional" photos of them from the show in Seguin in April.
