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 ♥

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 +

Can't wait for more baby Hollands ♥
Yesterday was a good day! :)
After feeding and watering I took a couple Does out, trimmed their nails & checked their vents & to my surprise they were dark in color which means I had a pretty good chance of getting them bred.
I was able to get 6 Does bred:
Pepper x Maestro...one last litter before she goes back to Janice
LOV Bug x Levi
Hattie x Lars
Kendra x Maestro
Harmony x Dexter
Kelly x Thunder...a repeat of a breeding I did earlier but lost the only survivor which was a super cute broken black doe, hoping for another one
*fingers & toes crossed* lol

Getting burned out??
Well, I've always heard of people getting burned out and losing interest in bunnies....now, I'm starting to wonder if I'm headed down that path :/
Right now, I dont get a lot of time to spend with the bunnies and going down to feed & water is about all I do these days and its becoming a chore that just doesnt seem to be fun anymore~which is sad. Maybe I shouldnt have taken on 2 jobs, but we really need the extra money. And taking care of the family and paying bills seems to be more important than raising a bunch of bunnies and trying to take time off work to go to shows. I would love to downsize and sell a few bunnies but no one seems to be interested in buying any right now....the only inquires I've gotten lately are from people wanting babies~and I dont have any available right now.
