Miss Sara Kindles - January 20, 2009

Nine kits.

It's cold out so did a quick count and check.
Looks like a litter of whites, brokens, and possibly some charlies. Have to wait and see for sure.

Litter out of a tri-coloured buck bred to a castor.

Have to see what all we get!

Booted red?

New New Easter - January 10, 2009

A first litter for New New Easter.
This red new zealand is my son's bunny.
She's a good rabbit.

Had five babies (I think).
Dad is Red, my previous harlequin buck.

She built a good nest.
She's a bit of a nervous momma but thus far is doing a good job raising them.

I may or may not keep a doe from this litter. :)

looks like three magpies and two japanese babies. I'll need to take pics but one of them I'm quite intrigued by. :) that's the fun with harle's....you never know quite what you'll get in the nest box. :)

Dayle Kindles - January 9, 2009

One day early.

This girlie surprised me as I was thinking that she missed. And here she ended up with five tiny babies. all dark. Rather cool.

Pulled lots of fur, which is very good to see.

Am thinking of bringing them in for the night as they are very tiny.UPDATE: brought them into the house for a week, and then the bitterly cold weather broke and they were fine to stay outside.

So far it looks like they will all be black. :) Time will tell for sure. One is almost regular size, one is very tiny, the other three are just small for mini rex.

Guinea Pig Pictures

So I'm clearing out some of my pics from my pictures file on the computer. Don't need to keep them all, but keeping track isn't a bad thing to do.

We don't have all these piggies anymore but pics are always nice to see.

Nice sow, wouldn't get pregnant

binnie!

this was binnie - sold this past spring

reese - we still have her

this one is sold.

Cleaned and Rearranged

So cleaned out the piggies yesterday.

Took the older boy pups out and put them up with Boy and Daisy. They were unappreciative of that but I don't need them breeding their moms!

Hoping to send them to pet stores this coming week or sell them privately. Have to wait and see.

Using a new litter with them. Feed store can't get in lumber shavings so I'm using this pelleted stuff. not sure how it will work out, so far seems okay. If I get less stuff shooting out of the cages... all the better!

Will be bringing in a couple more water bottles as well. Rather much filling them a couple times a day.

Have also switched them to being on rabbit feed as I've found vitamin c for them. This will make them cheaper to raise and feed. Debating getting rid of them all this summer though. Pigs don't pay for themselves. Might keep one for Justin (one of what he calls the rainbow ones). Will have to see.

Debated getting rid of them before and I've ended up with five girls and one boy. Go figure that!

Ellie Mae has her pups - January 3

Three pups born to Ellie Mae.

Must be something in the air that most of my piggies have had three pups each (just one with four).

Too many piggies crowding this house! :)

moved some bunnies around

So Carmen was getting a little crowded with her gang of babies, Midnight was getting fed up with hers so I moved some babies around. Carmen's and Midnight's got divided up into girl and boy bunny pens. Carmen was moved into Midnight's cage, Midnight into Bounce's and Bounce into Carmens. Bounce is due Jan 17 so this gives her lots of time to just chill out in her new accommodations, and the moving to different cages should help two does to dry up quickly.

Next Saturday Midnight will be finding a new home. Hopefully this weekend Markel will as well. Then I'll have additional cage space INSIDE the tent for growing babies.

Hoping that my Mississauga people will come out tonight for that white bunny the girl has been asking for. I'm not holding out complete hope, but I am hoping. :)

Justin made me smile yesterday.... as he noticed NN Easter was building a nest. Boy oh boy....over the top excitement. He had to give her hay and straw. NN Easter is a darling of a rabbit. She even grabbed the hay and straw right out of his hands...at one point grabbing his mitten which resulted in peals of laughter and "no, new new easter...that my mitten!". "Mommy help! new easter got my mitten!" A rabbit has NEVER gotten so much bedding material this early in her pregnancy EVER! I anticipate she's going to be an over-bedded rabbit. Not that I mind.

Ah....but I do hope that she does everything correctly!
