Now our rabbitry is filled with several new litters. We currently have 3 litters of purebred Lionheads and one litter of Satin/New Zealand White hybrids. We are very excited as these are some of our first Lion litters, and our first meat hybrid litter.
Blossom Acres’ Little White Lie kindled November 6th and had a litter of 5- 2 black, 1 blue, and 2 tort-blue. This was our very first blue Lionhead kit born in our rabbitry! November 8th my New Zealand White doe, Tracey, kindled 8 kits- all black. They were very squirmy at birth. Today will bring two more litters- one from Cocoa (a chocolate) and one from Nolla (a blue-tort).
This time around all of our Lionhead does were bred to our black Lion buck, Shadow. Our New Zealand doe was bred to Nox, our purebred Satin buck. We learned from this breeding that Nox’s lines are very pure, and that he does not carry a recessive REW.
So far all is going well in the rabbitry. These New Zealand/Satin Hybrid kits as well as the Lionheads should be available for purchase mid-January. If interested please ask to be placed on the waiting list.
We will be breeding our French Angora does end of November for spring kits. More information will be posted soon!
