Rabbitry Update

We have had some new happenings here at Blossom Acres.  We have decided to sell out of our Californians in order to better focus on our other breeds.  We currently have 2 rabbits for sale- a doe and a buck.  I am charging $30 for the buck and $40 for the doe.  Both are proven and come with pedigrees.  More information can be seen on our website:  blossomacresrabbitry.webs.com. 

Recently we bred Tracey, our New Zealand White doe to Baby Boy, our NZW buck.  This was his first time breeding so we will have to see how everything turns out!  Baby Boy to Tracey is a very nice breeding, so I am expecting some promising rabbits in the litter.  If Tracey takes, these kits will be available for sale around March 18th.  They will be available with partial pedigrees- they will just be missing two generations on the mom’s side.   

We have had several nice litters from Wee One’s Cocoa and Blossom Acres’ Frostbite.  These kits were born December 27th and December 29th.  We are also expecting a litter from Blossom Acres’ Little White Lie on the 11th of January.  These kits should be available for purchase beginning of March to mid March 2012.   All of the show and brood quality Lionheads will come with 3 generation pedigrees.  We are expecting black, blue, blue tort, black tort, REW, and shaded kits born, and will hopefully have some nice blue and blue-tort babies available for sale.  Some of these Lionhead kits will be chocolate carriers!!!       

The French Angoras are going well too.  I am expecting a litter mid January from Blossom Acres Lily of the Valley who is bred to Circle 6’s Fredrick.  Lily is one of my favorite does in the rabbitry- she has VERY good type and a lovely, dense fleece.  This breeding should produce some outstanding purebred kits with HUGE potential.  It will also be second generation of Blossom Acres!!!  This is going to be Lily’s first litter!  Farfelu’s Missy is also due with a litter a little later than her daughter; she too is bred to Fredrick.  All of these kits will come with 3 generation pedigrees and will be available for purchase beginning to mid March.  Once I finish showing some of my other seniors, I will be breeding them to Fredrick. 

Here are some pictures of Tangerine I got in full fleece:




I will update everyone as things happen.
