too old??

It's kind of sad but I am starting to wonder if I will ever get another litter of babies out of LOV's Lars, he turned 6 years old on May 5th.  He is such a sweet loving bunny, he loves to give kisses and get head rubs ♥  I've bred him to several Does, and so far none of them have had a litter  :(  So, I'm starting to wonder if he has gone sterile & is too old to produce.  I've bred every doe to him that is old enough to breed...some, I have tried twice.  Right now, he is bred to one more doe...I'm hoping I might get lucky one of these times.  Either way he will always have a forever home here with us at Hamilton's Hoppin' Lops.

Chillin'

Bunnies are doing great, babies are getting big.  We've been enjoying the cooler weather the past couple days.  Better enjoy it while it lasts cuz its about to get hot again.  This time we're prepared...me & Brendan went to Lowes and bought an air conditioner for the bunny barn.  Running 3 fans just wasnt cutting it, it seemed to be hotter in the barn than it was outside even with the fans running & all 3 windows open.
I'm thinking tomorrow I will have to turn on the AC for the first time....hopefully it will keep things cool & I wont have to worry about the bunnies getting too warm.

baby pics ♥

I took a couple pics the other night & just wanted to share....hope you enjoy!  :)

Hattie & her 3 babies....broken tort doe, broken blue point buck & sable point doe.  I will be holding on to all 3 to see how they turn out, its hard to pick a favorite~so far I like all 3! lol

LOV Bug and her 4 babies, my keeper is the little piggie in the bowl  :)

Available bunnies in this litter are:  tort doe & 2 broken tort does.

Another pic of LOV Bug & her babies....the little piggie finally decided to look up for the picture this time  ;)

Deb's babies....1 blue tort buck & 2 broken blue tort bucks.  I am keeping the solid blue tort & possibly one of the brokens too.  Never thought I'd fall in love with that little stinker, with all the faults~(half butterfly & milk dipped ears) but yeah his cuteness is hard to ignore! lol

Here he is.....isnt he a cutie??  :)

my 2 cuties together ♥

>.< stupid doe!

I'm having a problem with one of my first time Does, Rita.  She had a litter April 21st, 2 sable points & 3 broken sable points.  I was so excited to have a whole litter of sable points ♥
here's the problem...
I dont know if she just isnt taking care of them or if she isnt producing a whole lot of milk (I've been giving her calf manna to help with milk production)....honestly, I'm leaning towards not taking care of them though.  So far, we lost 2 babies & the other 3 are super tiny....The past couple days I've been holding her on her back and letting the babies feed from her.  As a last resort, today I stuck one of the bigger babies in with another doe that has babies that are younger but double the size, hope its able to survive.

I'm gonna give Rita one more chance, and if she fails to take care of her babies again she will be removed from the breeding program.
