Well I brought $50 with me, so I was prepared lol Also I had to meet a lady there because she wanted to purchase an English Angora doe. Also I picked up a Holland Lop buck for a friend. Anyways... I got 3 bunnies at the auction and 3 more afterwards at a breeders house :p

Well as some of you already know I'm getting back into Lionheads. So I went to the breeders house.... my mom got herself a cute DM broken black Lionhead doe, who is too wooly, but still cute. I do not need any more bucks, I know that but.... I got another one :expressionlessI love Black Otter Lionheads. I seen him, I had to have him xD He is a SM, but he is gorgeous. Pics coming soon ;) I paid $20 for him, which I don't think is bad.

I also got Biscotti my Chocolate Silver Marten Jersey Woolie buck a girlfriend :p She is a proven Sable marten doe. She is very nice looking. I'm not re breeding her right away. She had a litter of 6 week olds at the breeders house. They were all bucks unfortunatly, so I only took mama. The breeder gave her to me because she was trying to get rid of the Jerseys xD

The auction was another story. Like usual it was heart breaking watching all the commercial bunnies get dragged around by their ears. I felt like decking all those meanies :twitch:Anyways there was no purebred Flemmies this time. But... there was 2 GORGEOUS French Lops. Like there is never French Lops here. There was a REW doe & a Chinchilla doe. Like the dewlaps were HUGE. Anyways I soooo would have bidded on the chin French Lop doe, but she had matitis BAD. It was so gross. She went for $10. If I would have had the meds and stuff I would have gotten her.

Anyways so a portugese guy came in and started yelling at the auctioneer telling him that he wanted him money back for these budgies he bought and that he paid to much, which was his own problem. Anyways so while everyone was ussing over that, the REW French Lop doe was being auctioned. I was still paying attention, clearly. I won her. FOR $5! Like can you beleive that? Normally a rabbit her size goes for atleast $15 :expressionlessBut I got her! But before that I won a breeding pair of Rexes. I got them for a friend of mine, she loved them. They were about 8 weeks & they went for $2 each :biggrin2:There was 2 GORGEOUS guinea pig boars I wanted, but I was too busy fuzzing over Queeny, my new French Lop doe that I missed them lol I didn't really need any more boars though xD

But I have gained a few bunnies out of todays little outing. I'm not going to lie I LOVE Queeny. She is a big cutie. She weighs only 11.14 pounds. She is a bit yellow, but I can fix her up and try to show her this fall :D
 
You got the JW doe, even though she still had a litter of 6 week olds at the breeders? Why would the breeder even let her go if she still had 6 week olds? Those poor babies. That's way too young to away from mama. I don't even start weaning my babies until their 6/7 weeks old. (Not trying to be mean, btw...just shocked!)

Congrats on your new additions though!

I would probably cry like a baby if I went to an auction. :rollseyes

You must have a lot of room! Do your bun's have their own barn or something? Just wondering. Congrats on your additions! Must have pictures. I personally feel the longer babies are with their mothers, the better. I prefer seeing them weaned at 7-8 weeks. Mother's milk is very beneficial to the babies health. I also feel they are better off emotionally. Of course you had no control of when they weaned those babies though.
 
To be honest, if they were still with momma, I would have came back in 2-3 weeks to get her. Yes, my bunnies have their own barn lol I'm actually getting more cages in a few days so more space lol

I want to get another French Lop doe now xD I love mine, she is a sweetie :p
 
No :( We got there too late :/
Although there was 2 male guinea pigs which were gorgeous they were over by the bunnies, I could have gotten them but... I was to busy snuggling Queeny and getting all excited over her xD I missed them auctioning them off :(
