I went out to feed & water this morning and found BBC's Baby dead in her cage :(
We had a really bad thunder/lightning storm last night, I'm wondering if it might have scared her??
She was perfectly fine otherwise, eating & drinking just fine and never had a messy bottom.....so I was shocked to find her dead. Baby was given to me as a gift, by Sydney & Harley Butler at the OH mini convention. Baby Girl~as I affectionately called her, was a Dietrich's Babu daughter.....Babu was the 1st place BSB at the '09 Holland Lop Nationals in Youth. I absolutely loved Baby, she was beautiful little doe. She had a gorgeous head/ear/crown & the chubbiest cheeks ever and bone to die for. I'm really gonna miss her, she was such a sweetheart too.
RIP Baby girl :(

YAY! Got my wish!!! :)
Twyla decided to have her babies today, she did an excellent job...I am very proud of her. She had 6 babies, only one was a peanut. She had TWO Broken Blacks...YAY, I got my wish!!!! :) She also had 1 solid black, 1 tort, and 1 ?~(I'm not quite sure yet)....I can tell its a broken but its pretty light in color, and I'm not sure if Jeremy carries Sable Point or not....guess we'll have to wait and find out. Watch it just end up being a broken tort! lol
Speaking of Jeremy....I have had him available for a while now, one only person has shown interest in him but she is too far away :/ So, I am pondering the thought of putting him on the raffle table.....I have too many bucks right now and need to free up some cage space to grow out some upcoming jrs.
I think I might also put Jacoby on the raffle table too, he's a really nice buck~he was shown as a jr and has one leg to his name. Bad thing is, for some reason he chews his fur, which I think makes him harder to sell. He is molting very badly at the moment so he doesnt look that great right now but boy does he need to molt! Seems like a long time since he last molted....he's gonna look much better when he finishes.
I will bring a couple young jr brood does to sell at the Taylorsville show, so if you are in need of a doe stop by and see me....both are out of LOV lines.
....if anyones interested in Jacoby or Jeremy, stop by and see me before the show and make an offer before I put them on the raffle table.....no reasonable offer will be refused.

Holland babies :)
Willow Walker Pepper, a broken black doe I got from Janice was due to have babies yesterday.....when I put in her nestbox a couple days ago, she made a mess of it~ pulling out almost all the hay. lol I put the hay back in and moved it to the other corner, I guess that made her happy cuz she left it alone. This afternoon, I was down in the basement and saw her plucking tons & tons of fur! I went and did some couple chores and came back and found 5 little babies, sired by Amor! Only bad news is, 3 of them were peanuts so it looks like we only have 2 healthy ones, and they both look like torts. I tell ya, between my 2 broken black does~Pepper & Janessa, I just cant seem to get any broken black babies this time around! lol Maybe I need to start wishing for torts, maybe then I'll get some broken blacks! lol Janessa had 3 solid blacks & 3 broken torts! :P
Other baby news, we lost 2 of Marie's babies.....they just didnt seem to thrive, so now we are down to 4 out of her & McLovin. We lost 2 solid torts, so now she has 3 broken torts & 1 solid tort in the nestbox.
My black doe, Twyla is due in a couple more days, she is bred to Jeremy.....again, here I go~hoping for broken black babies! lol Lets see if Twyla can grant my wish.....I'll keep ya posted ;)

Rainy day babies
Well, this morning I went out to feed real quick before it started to rain....didnt quite make it though, it had already started raining before I got out there! lol Willow Walker Marie was bred to McLovin and was due to have babies today. I usually bring mommas inside to have their litters but since it hasnt been very cold out lately, I decided to go ahead and leave Marie outside and give her a nestbox.....she's kind of a nervous doe anyways and I didnt want to stress her out by moving her.
As I was feeding, I noticed a bit of fur on the ground that had fallen through the wire under her cage.....I got excited, yay more baby Hollands! I took out the nestbox and to my surprise, Marie had SIX babies~all tucked nicely in a well furred nest :) This is her first litter, she did a great job!
For Sale page updates:
Tort doe #6 & #4 have both been sold.
I also sold Jorja, who was bred to Tristan.....they went to live in SC with the Fisher Family~at Fisher Farms Rabbitry. I wish you guys the best of with them :)
Some exciting news....our little miracle baby has its eyes open, and oh my gosh....it is the cutest little thing I have ever seen! So adorable <3
