New Rabbits!

Hello everyone. I hope this blog finds you well and your nestboxes full of babies! :) Everything here is going good. I dont think I updated since the break off. So let me just announce that Niki is no longer working at EAR. She has her own rabbitry again Catawba Rabbitry. She has holland lops & lionheads, specifically bews if you are interested.

Anyway in other news, we have some new rabbits on board. THF Kandy thanks to Jenna from THF Saynora. In addition, Spring Lake Demarius from Krys. He has two legs and Jenna thinks he can easily grand, so that is just awesome. He is going through a molt right now but as soon as we get him back into condition, he will be hitting the show tables :).

We finally have been working on updating the website the last few days and it has finally went live today. We still have so much more updating to do so please bear with us. Things are going to get even harder soon because Chris and I will both be so busy. Chris works usually 12 hours a day and is also going to be starting school partime. I am going back to school full time for web design & multimedia. So if you have a question or are interested in something, please just shoot us an email. :)

Well that is about all the updates for now. Hope all is well! :)

New babies!

So, Nala kindled 5 healthy babies last night :) This is her second litter I'm so proud of her, she's such a great mommy!We bred her to Angelic Hares braxton. Lets hope we get some fuzzybutts in there. lol He's our experiement buck. He is a teddy, but he has great lines and a gorgeous color. He's a nice buck. We just wanted to try him a few times to see what we get. If anyone is interested in him soon, let me know.:) I would offer him free with a purchase. Or if you are interested in a pet, let me know. He's a sweetie!

Anyway, all of the babies are growing up so fast too. Litters from Melody, Neffy, Kodiak, Bayli, & Mckenzie. I have a few does due later this week too. So i will have to post the news.

Anyway, I got a new blue fuzzy doe that was bred to bastet's rowdy. She is Fry's Aly. They are very nice people and very easy to work with. I'm so excited for her and her litter (if she took). It will be my first fuzzy babies! My buck Andrew is doing really great. He is looking so nice. His sister is nice as well but she's not a fuzzy, she is definitely a carrier because she does have some fuzzy fur. I am going to still use her with my fuzzies and see what I get. One breeding won't hurt. I am still looking for a nice fuzzy buck (which I will probably get from Bastet's in August). And also still a nice solid tort or blue tort buck (holland lop). Color isn't as important as type. Either tort,blue tort, or blue. I definitely enjoy working with blue. I wouldnt mind a solid black buck either that maybed carried dilute. I have been being real picky when the right one comes around I'll know it ;).

Well I am rambling. Nothing much else is really happening. I got my hollands from lolly lops. Solitilly, Aubre & smores. Check out the site for their pics & info :)

Hope everyone is doing well & ur nestboxes are full of babies :).

New Website!

So the last two days I have been working on a new layout for the rabbitry. Then I am going to be finishing up "Ever After Designs". If i start to get enough orders I'll send in for another business ID under that name. I still have my One Stop Trend Shop from my online store. But i really dont think I'll be doing that anymore. I do miss it, i just can't believe how rude some people on ebay can be. And impatient! It ruins it.


Anyway, everyone is doing good here. I am awaiting Vivians babies. And then on friday/Saturday Nefertiti, Kodiak, Melody, Selena, Bayli, Mckenzie are all due. And in about a month in a half (I think), i can breed Paisley & Blue Sunrise. Paisley will be bred to Breredon, (I can't wait for that mix!), and Blue Sunrise to Blue Gene. I may breed blue Gene to one other doe and then I will be selling him. He is just so wooly and I all the dilute does I'd like to breed him to already have plenty of that. He's clean though for as wooly as he is. I just will be using Out of the Blue more than him so I have to make a choice. I will probably breed him to Mckenzie, Bayli, & Blue Sunrise, and let him go. I MAY breed him to Melody for some blue chip line breeding. I know I will be getting a charlie perhaps, but some say they are fairly typy and if i do get one i will just sell it as a pet if someone doesn't want it as a breeder, depending on it's type. That way i have some babies from him to choose from.


Well I am rambling. Boy oh boy, that is what makes it fun. Who to pair up with who. LOL Just a huge puzzle and i know I have only been a breeder since last fall. I cannot wait until a year or two from now when I have a lot of my own stock. :)

Well anyway, just wanted to post another update :)

Updates

Well not much is new here... all of our babies we got from Nationals are all settled in. We have a ton of rabbits and some of them wont stay around as long because we also want to keep some of our own stock, so we have to cull hard (not kill just sell LOL). We can have about 30 holes that's about it for now. We have some gorgeous rabbits so definitely check out our new lionhead pages (bucks & does). In addition, we have a new holland junior page. hehehe! Our first little holland litter is about almost 3 weeks old. Ryan, a first time mom, also kindled 5 and is nursing colleens 1 kit she had. I'm so proud of her. Colleen has been acting up ever since i took her baby away but they both kindled so close I wanted the kit to be with others to keep warm. Plus i wasn't sure what kind of mother she would be... she seems very Pi**y. LOL!



Anyway, next week I am getting Rocko from Krys he is THF Saynora & is a broken blue. He will be our main herd buck. He is Foo Fighters brother. Then also I am getting a really really nice brood doe from LopNmops. In addition, a blue lionhead from Robins Backyard bunnies. She is trading me for a himi doe. I am also getting a large grooming table for shows from her as for a trade of two other kits. So I'm pretty excited about that!!



We have a lot of lionhead does due on the 8th & 9th. Lots of dilute & dilute carriers... i can't wait! :)

Well that's about all that is going on. I will update more later!

More bunnies! lol

Yes more bunnies, i know! We are getting two from Catwalk! I cannot wait. We are also getting two more from Angelic Hares! I just love buying from her. She has such nice rabbits available. I am getting Cimmaron Mckenzie & Cimmaron Out of the blue, which has a smokin' body! She had a litter of 7 her last litter. So I'm excited to have them both. Also, she carries dilute. So what more could you ask for! LOL. I cannot wait until Friday when I get all of my new babies :)

News! :)

So the rabbits are currently in our basment. This just started out as a pet thing about 7 months ago. And already it's only been 7 months and I have almost 25 holes. LOL! Anyway, the basement is just not working out for us,and we'd like to expand. LOL! We've been looking for barn spaces to rent, like rent a stall but everyone is full or has too many horses to board rabbits LOL! Anyway, Niki met this really nice lady she was going to get a Chi puppy from. She only lives less than a mile down the road LOL! Anyway, she said i could use her garage as my barn. And we have a garage here but we are renting now and so their stuff is all in there. I did have plans that when we bought this house, my sister would rent out the top (apartment on top of the garage). And then we'd share the rabbitry below. It's huge and well ventilated so we would have no problems. But that's a while away. And Niki introduced us to Sue and wow what a nice lady!! They are just huge animal lovers too! So we just need to fix up and patch up some holes and we can move them in. Maybe within the next week. Next weekend is Nationals. And I now have the cage room to get everyone at nationals so I'm excited :). Everything happens for a reason and this is just too good to be true! :)



So now i have enough room to grow out holland juniors if I want to watch them develop. If I want to keep some lionheads I dont have to sell others to make the room. I think i will maintain about a 30-40 hole rabbitry (definitely no more than that! LOL) . That is so big to me. Although I know that's actually considered "small-scale". It depends. I can't get too carried away. LOL But currently, after Nationals I will have about 25 rabbits & 27 cages. So I will have a few if needed to grow juniors out :).



Anyway, this just works out great. :) So I thought I'd post it. You know. someday i cannot wait until Chris & I move more out in the country & we have a few acres. Woods surround us, privacy, etc. That way I can have a veggie/flower garden... and we can build a huge barn just for the rabbits. Oh don't get me started. But hey, we're only 23, so we have plenty of time...

Lots of new rabbits

We have a lot of NEW and promising stock we are picking up at Nationals from Cimmaron, Catwalk, Wildhaven, & Angelic Hares. All have heavy Cimmaron/DJ Lines! We are very very excited to be getting such exceptional stock that will REALLY help our rabbitry tremendously! Check out our does & bucks page to see what we'll be getting. We cannot wait until next year, who knows how many we'll be getting! :) Thank you to EVERYONE!
