more updates...

Well, we had to rebred the 2 does that were due on the 30th & the 1st.....hopefully next time around they will take  :/   Looks like our next litters will be born April 13th

Sad news, we lost Kendra~my broken black Holland Lop doe who was due to have a litter on the 18th.  She pulled TONS of fur but never had any babies.  I took her out yesterday to check her and I could still feel babies but didnt really feel any movement.  I think she was having trouble kindling them :(  Really stinks, she was a pretty little doe...I'm gonna miss her.

Update on babies

Well, here's an update on our babies that were born on the 18th...Harmony had 4 kits sired by Dexter & Kelly had 2 kits sired by Thunder.  Kendra plucked tons of fur but I never saw any babies  :/   I'll give her a break then try her again. 
Not sure on colors yet for Harmony's babies but she had 3 solids and 1 broken.  Kelly has 1 Black & 1 Broken Black ♥
Update:  I checked Harmony's babies, she has 3 torts & 1 broken tort....darn, I was kinda hoping for blue torts since her dad carries dilute  :/

Yesterday, we were able to breed quite a few Nethies....so, Brendan will be up to his ears in babies next month! lol

Our next batch of babies is supposed to be due March 30th, one of Brendan's does.  I haven't tried palpating her yet~hope she's got some buns in the oven....she's bred to Miracle.

One of my sable point does is bred to my broken sable point buck, Levi.  She's supposed to be due on April 1st.  I need to check her & Brendan's doe (CN's E4) to see if they took.

After that, we have a couple Does due on the 13th.  Then, a bunch of nethies and one holland due on the 20th.

I'm so happy to have babies again, after the move to the new house and with winter we haven't had very many babies.  Theres nothing better than baby bunnies to love on ♥

Nestboxes are in!

Well, the nestboxes are in....I palpated the Does the other day & here's a list of who took & who didnt:

Pepper x Maestro...didnt take, going back to live with Janice
LOV Bug x Levi...didnt take, rebred to Levi again
Hattie x Lars...didnt take, rebred to Maestro
Kendra x Maestro...palpated +
Harmony x Dexter...palpated +
Kelly x Thunder...palpated +
 
Kendra & Harmony are first timers, hopefully they will do good *fingers crossed*
Kelly is alittle unpredictable, so I'm not sure what to expect....hope she does okay too.
