It can be a little frustrating..

So im new to breeding and figuring out colors of babies is really hard.
First i thought the five babies we had were two smoke pearls, two smoke pearl chins and one sable of some sort. and now it looks like our chins are not in fact smoke pearl at all hahaha. They are chins but what color? one looks like a black chin (of course out of all these lovely colors we get a regular black chin) and the other may be a lilac chin but im not sure. Oh and it looks like they are all Bucks except for one of the smoke pearls which is good cuz thats what we begged for hahaha we have to many does but now we are overwhelmed with bucks since we are keeping this whole litter tell convention.

The camera broke!

I was supposed to update our website when i got home from tahoe like two weeks ago. But while in Tahoe my mother dropped the camera and it broke! the only camera that works in this house now is my sisters, she will not let us use it. We have one that we borrowed from my aunt but even with the flash on for some odd reason its super dark in on the pics unless they are outside. Since it is like 112 degrees outside i would rather not be taking pictures out there. So i guess i have to wait tell we can get a new one. (We want a nikon, something that can capture the color of our bunnies better). Have any idea on what camera we should get?

Getting ready to leave.

so while we are out of town a transporter will be dropping off two mini lops with one of my unlucky family members that have never held a rabbit to carry out to duty of putting stressed out rabbits in there cages. im super excited about them and i think they will do well at convention! i have completed the task of cleaning out all! the cages and now i am relaxing for a bit before i have to go pack. i have been procrastinating on packing. Our white does babies are looking healthy her attitude has changed a lot towards us she is a lot nicer and she seems to always check her box to make sure the babies are in there. She does not seem to like us taking the box out to check them but she seems to not stress to much and still feeds them. I got blonde and red high lights. the blonde is VERY noticable but it will be ok. It is pretty hot here but the bunnies aren't too hot.

Suprise!

So our grand champion white doe had her babies yesterday yay!! we thought she only had four but this morning when we checked again there was five. They are super light blue!! Not dark enough to be a blue chin. We have our theory's of what they might be but because we are not experts we will not know tell later. We decided to theme name this litter hahaha first time we have done this because we usually sale all our litters and let the owners name them. We are going with high class items as names like... champaign or first class or even gold standard. Tiffany as in the jewlry store is also another name we might choose depending on the sex of the babies. Does not look like they are brokens so our white doe is truly a solid!

its July 1st!

It is really hot outside and my grand champion white doe is pulling fur! we have decided to keep all her babies because we only expect about 4 babies and we are counting on them being excellent! we are hoping for a solid buck and a broken buck! PLEASE!!! we procrastinated on breeding and our other older doe is not pregnant like we planned. It is to late now to breed her for convention but maybe we could breed for november and december shows. Our little chestnut babies are scared of there new feeder because it rocks back in forth and because of that they will not eat out of it. We put these feeders in because we are going out of town and need to make it as easy as we can for the person who is taking care of them. we even put all the bottles on one side. well got to go clean cages!!
