Since the last post, Isabell had a litter of 4 babies. Though, none of them lived. I think she had a hard time getting them out... : (
And Lexus never had a litter, so I guess she never took!! So we re-bred her yesterday to Max again. If she still doesn't take this time, we'll probably sell her.
Oliver just turned 5 1/2 months old, so we decided to try him with Isabell, since he's such a small buck. It seemed like it worked, so we'll see what happens! : )
We also bred XC with Max. I would have liked to have bred her with another buck, but the only other buck available was Oliver, and that's her son. So we'll probably get broken blacks again.
We tried breeding Emmie again, but she wouldn't cooperate, so we'll try her again in a few days.
Sophie is now old enough to breed, but when we tried her with Oliver, she didn't want to have anything to do with it. So we'll try her again later.
In other news, we recently got another new bunny! Well, not exactly new...Her name is Darcy. She was born at our Rabbitry last Nov. and was sold to a sweet family for Christmas. Well, the family was no longer able to keep her, so they asked if we would take her back. And, we did. After looking back through my records from last year, I figured out that her parents were Bucky and Kim. And because we don't have either of them anymore, I had to go look through my pedigree records so I could make her a pedigree.
She was pretty scared the first day or two, but now that she has settled in, she's super sweet and loves getting attention! Just like our other bunnies! : ) She's a brood quality kind of girl. But no surprise considering who her parents were. Her owners never got her spayed, so we're going to try to breed her to Oliver (since he's so small) in the next few days. Hopefully she'll take and be a good mom. It's harder to get them to bred when they are older, but it's not impossible! Our one Doe "Millie" was a year old when we got her and, now she has litters with 5-7 babies! So we're excited to see what Darcy will do! : )
Here are some pictures of her:
