Unfortunatly, we lost the last litter.  She was a first time mom and didn't quite know what to do.   The good news is that another doe started nesting lastnight so we will be having more kits soon!

Expecting a new litter soon!

Doing chores tonight, I noticed mom was carrying around a mouthful of fur.   I stuffed a nesting box in just in case.  I like to move the moms into a large nursery cage so she has lots of room to raise her kits.  I'm picking up one tomorrow so I hope she can wait till I can move her.

Rabbit recipes

If you have any good recipes for cooking rabbit, please feel free to share them!   I'll post them myself as I give them a try.   I hear you can use most chicken recipes! 

They grow up so fast!

Rabbit #1 babies are over 4 wks already.  Their eyes were starting to open when we took this photo.   Will soon be time to wean away from mom and put into the grow out cages!  Rabbit #2 will be bred next week!

We are in the process of buying all new larger cages for all the house rabbits.   And they'll be moving into their own building within the next week.  We're expecting a blizzard this week so some of those plans may be delayed for a while.

I'm always on a look out to enhance our rabbitry!  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have rabbits for sale!

How's this for cute!!

10 bunnies

I did a full count tonight and it looks like 10 babies instead of 12.... they weren't happy about me digging around in their nest, I'm sure my cold fingers didn't help.

New Kits born Jan 2nd!

What a way to start the new year with 12 cute little bunnies.  
They will be ready for processing Feb 26, 2011!
