Mouse's Litter One Month Old!

It is amazing how fast rabbits grow!  It has been a while since I posted some updated picture of Mouse's first litter, born September 25th.  They are now one month old!  It is looking like there are mostly bucks in the litter.  I am really happy with the way this litter has turned out, so it is going to make retaining for my program ever more difficult.  The kits are growing very nicely.  

Here are some pictures of individual shots of the French Angora babies.  They were very timid with the camera and are one of the few litters I have ever had that held relatively still for photography!

I am taking in names for my waiting list for this litter, so if interested please email me and ask to be placed on the waiting list. 

Hope everyone in the mid-Michigan area is enjoying this warmer weather swing!  I know I am!

Baby French Angoras Again

It has certainly been a while since I last posted on this blog.  Summer was very busy for us and autumn has begun.  I am back in school and have been very busy with my studies. 

Last month I was privileged to obtain some beautiful French Angora rabbits from a friend.  She was a past customer of mine and asked me if I would be interested in the remaining of her small herd.  I happily acquired 2 bucks and 2 French Angora does from her.  One of the bucks is one I had bred and one of the does is a daughter of another buck I had sold her. 

I was able to breed Blossom Acres' Forget-Me-Not to Mouse, as well as Forget-Me-Not to a broken chestnut doe.  Mouse has in the past given me an extremely hard time and has never taken when I bred her.  I guess Forget-Me-Not did the trick because 31 days later she gave me this beautiful litter:

It looks like I have 1 black, 2 chestnut, and 3 blues.  I was very surprised as I did not know she carried the dilution gene!  This is her very first litter and so far she has been a good mom.  I can't wait to watch these kits mature as I think they will be competitive on the show table. 

I have another doe bred to Forget-Me-Not and she is due in a few days, so please check the website for updates!

While I went north to pick these guys up, I also acquired a few purebred Narragansett turkey poults.  If all goes as planned, I will be offering some purebred poults and breeding stock in the near future! 

Thank you all for your patience in my blog absence.  I will try to continue posting more frequently so please visiting our blog for updates! 

Have a great weekend!
