YAY!!

Since i am a new breeder and i think this goes for all breeders you get a little nervous when you breed a doe for the first time. All my new does have had bad experiences in the past (babies on the wire/ one huge baby ect..) this was the first time i bred two new moms and i was super paranoid something would go wrong, but i woke up this morning and one of the new moms had her babies and while i was getting ready the other new mom had her babies. One Doe had 6 babies the other had 3. Then one of my old does had 6. In two of my litters there are possible ruby eyed whites which is very exciting for me! First time i have ever had ruby eyed whites and especially since i didn't expect it. Its so nice to get a unique color you didn't expect.

How is it possible?

My dad went into the rabbitry this morning for a routine check up on how the rabbits were doing. he discovered that the 2nd place junior doe at convention had broken her back. she had started chewing her toes and my dad realized there was no hope. how does a rabbit break there back in there cage? she was a gorgeous doe and she will be greatly missed. I am wondering if there is anything i could do to prevent this from happening again.

Convention results!

so we had 6 rabbits place in the top ten.
XG7 one of our solid senior bucks got 4th & 6G4 (BJD) took 6th
then we had BD8 (BSB) and 9SB0 (BSD) take 8th and THEN..
