Hey Everyone!!

We have decided to start a blog to help keep everyone updated on the happenings of our Rabbitry! : )

As I am typing up this blog, it is 93 degrees outside in the shade! It feel much hotter when you're in the sun! Luckily, we re-did our "Rabbit House" earlier in May, and installed a/c and water. We will also have a heater for in the winter. The Rabbit House is kept at about 75-80 degrees. The rabbits seem very happy to be in the air this year! : ) The last few years, we had lots of fans blowing on all the cages (which were in the shade) and we also gave each of them big ice blocks to help keep them cool. Now that we have the a/c we don't have to worry about them nearly as much, which is so nice!

Also, now that we have the a/c we can breed all year round! It was just too hot to breed in the summer without the a/c both for the moms and the babies.

Speaking of babies, Lexus and Dixie are due this week. Lexus was bred to Laredo, so she should have some sable point babies. She had 2 very nice babies in her last litter, so hopefully she will have a very nice litter this time as well! : ) This is Dixie's first litter. She was bred to Louis right before he was sold. We are hoping that she will have some shaded babies for us! We'll see what happens. I'll post again when they have their litters.

XC's babies are all doing very well. They are VERY fat right now! There are 3 solid black torts and 1 broken black tort. I will take some pictures of them later this week...

I guess that's it for now, we have lots of bunny pick-ups this week...we're always glad to see our bunnies go to loving homes! : )

Until next time....
