Summer is here, and while the first three weeks of June were in the lower 80’s and rainy, this last week has been hot. The official temp has been in the mid to upper 90’s, so that makes my place, upper 90’s to low 100’s. Good thing there is still storms twice a week! TheContinue reading “June 2019”

May has been a little hectic. While I was not able to make it to the last couple of shows; I did get some promising kits in the nest box. Yea! Onyx is my best doe and she gave me four, healthy, squirming and super cute babies. They were born on May 31, so IContinue reading “May 2019”

This past month has been beautiful with perfect spring weather. I have definitely enjoyed the warmth, the rain and the mosquito-free evenings. The only show this month was the Netherland Dwarf Nationals.  I went there looking for a replacement for Judy Hops; while I was unsuccessful in my search, I did find out that howContinue reading “April 2019”

Happy Spring! Winter is now past, and with its passing I had hoped to be welcoming some baby bunnies. My does, however, had other plans. So sadly, I don’t have any bunnies for Easter. This happens when the doe decides that the weather is not right for having babies or when she just doesn’t feelContinue reading “March 2019”

This month was a cold one. Due to the cold temperatures, my does have decided not to have babies; which is disappointing. Otherwise, everyone is doing well and actually starting to molt. Molting is the rabbit term for shedding, and is done two or three times per year, depending on the rabbit. Because of theContinue reading “February 2019”

This year (2019) is starting off to be a good year. I have now registered my rabbitry with the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) and am working on improving my stock. With January came the first show and first breeding of the year. The show went well, my herd buck Duke took first and IContinue reading “January 2019”
