Rabbitry Update :)

Okay so it's been a longgg time since I've posted anything in here and a lot of stuff has happened. Sooo, I'm giving you an overview of the last few months.

In July I became the proud owner of SRC's Kryptonite, who won BOV red in youth at nationals. :) I'm extremely happy to have him and his babies are stunning! Thanks again Cassidy!! I also purchased GC Doyle's Truffles and Doyle's Kalulu from Cassidy in July as well. Fair was also in July, I did pretty good, I also purchased a little red buck from DeAnn Boulier, Furry Treasures Red Pepper. :) My results from fair are in my last post. I bred 4 does in August, other than that nothing really happened. In September I had three litters born. Tink, Kalulu and Esme delivered beautiful litters, and all of them are AWESOME moms! Tink had a litter of six sired by Red Pepper, 1 red doe, 2 booted red does and 3 booted red bucks! To say the least I was not happy when I saw almost all her babies were booted. :( Kalulu had a litter of 5 sired by Kryptonite! They're amazing.....I'm very happy with the results of this litter! Esme had a litter of 4, 1 DOA. :( They were sired by Truffles......and so far are one of my favorite litters right now! Didn't really do much in October...it was kinda boring actually. In November I attended my first show in months, and did AMAZING! Kryptonite took home two BOXVs, earning him two more legs!! I was so happy with him! December was probably the saddest month I've had in a really long time and a happy one at the same time. I lost six rabbits to the cold, at the time our shed was not insulated and was drafty, but we fixed that quickly by adding insulation and sealing up all the cracks and holes. I also gained a new member in my rabbit breeding family! My brother's fiancée fell in love with the rabbits, so she is now showing with me and the rest of my family!

Kryptonite!! :D
