Updates :) :)

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know we did! :)

So, my husband got me a bunnie for christmas from PJ Bunnies! I also got two more srs. I am sure I posted about them in a blog previously ;) Osahar, Jesse, & Lillian. We named Lillian last night she's 9 weeks old. :) I'll have to post new pictures soon. Right now i have zela in with Osahar mating... so hopefully if it takes we'll have some kits from her in a month. Also will be rebreeding lavina in a week. So that's 3 upcoming litters. (although I think I mentioned that before) lol!

Anyway, Amy from PJ Bunnies was just great. I love the stock I purchased and she's a really nice lady! She's going to nationals too! I just can't wait to meet everyone there. She said theres a dinner afterwards and also an auction. :) I dont know how much money/ space I'll have and what I'll be able to buy, but we'll see. I should have a few litters and I can use some of that to pay to go to nationals & maybe some stock :)

Bunnies @ Nationals! :)

I'm so excited. I'll be going to Lionhead nationals. I cannot wait to get some new stock from breeders all over the country!!! :)

DOE & BUCK of kit i'm getting!

~~ 2007 Lionhead Nationals!!! ~~

I sent in both of my club memberships and decided to check out the lionhead club page... I found out that LH nationals are in MAY in Columbus, OH. Well Columbus is where my family lives and also where my grandma will be moving too. So, it would work out great to go to the show and also visit family!! I talked to Judi and she's going of course, she never misses nationals she said. She really thinks I have a good chance at doing well. Hopefully by then too I have some Jrs from my cimmaron buck. I dont really expect to place, heck if I do that'd be awesome. But I just can't wait to meet some of these awesome breeders I've met (HUGS!!) and also just get the experience. Also... can't wait to buy some top quality stock too!!!


When Chris came home, i told him about it, he's excited too. SO I was happy for that. He's getting into this with me to, and i love it... just nice I have him to talk with and listen about future plans for the rabbitry etc. :)

Okay so that was my good news. Judi said she would help me with anything I need to prepare etc. She has been so good to me!!! :) (( THANKS JUDI!! ))

Well I'm rambling. But I'm just excited. I can't wait to meet everyone!!!

Good news!

So, i am fully prepared now if runtie is a peanut. Just going to not think about it that way and let him enjoy his life while he's here. He's such a spunky little guy. So i'm not growing attached... atleast not trying to... :( So we'll see. Only time can tell. But the poor guy is so small, i'm hoping to believe some of the LH breeders that he's just a tiny runt, but i i'm half and half. I dont want to think either way and be disappointed. So... i guess we'll see.


As far as colors, It's looking to be 2 torts, and maybe two sable points. Little runtie man is sure soo white, heck they could also have a rew as both parents carried it. Who knows. But the 2 torts we thought may be torts. One is definitely because it's starting to get the orange colors. It's still to early to tell, but i'm just playing my guessing game, hey it's fun! lol


My main breeder i get from, Judi, she doesn't have any bucks right now except But she said he doesn't have the best mane... but, He is an extremely clean sable point. And has great lines that really compliment my does. So we'll see. I'm mainly going to work with the sable point and tort because I love them both!


A breeder in NJ -- PJ Bunnies (Whitmores) they have a few stud bucks i can choose from. A lot had their fall molts but they are growing back already. (which the molts happen a lot). Anyway, I am pretty sure so far I'm getting Osahar. He's Cimmaron. He looks to be a very clean sable point from the pictures and a flat face and decent mane. He's a few ounces heavier than my does, but not by much. I'm also debating over a few more. But we'll see.

I may just decide to drive up to Judi's next saturday and breed zela again to zambezi, and also get ahaz. But we'll see I guess, lol I'm not real sure. The reason I wanted a stud buck right now was to breed zela and lavina in about a a month or two... But... now i'm not sure. lol!

Oh decisions, decisions. Well I think I'll end this here. Just woke up so this might not make sense. haha! Thanks for reading!

Update on Lavina's litter

Oh WOW! Such encoraging words I have got this morning with my fellow LH breeder friends! I am very happy to say that little runtie is doing great. He has gained so much weight all on his own. I woke up and he had a full little tummy. I'm just trying to be hopeful. Niki had said she was thinking he was a peanut based on my pictures, then i sent them to a few others and they said he could be, but the pictures they couldn't tell for sure. So last night I took some more after he had a full little belly. And i took a top and side view. I woke up and everyone said for sure, he's not a peanut. Because theirs never gains weight that quick, in fact they lose weight. But just to make sure I toook more today, and asked again. Boy am I sure thankful for the support I get from Niki and Brandi and my LH breeder friends. :) Today with the new pictures they think for sure he's just a tiny runt. Because with his tummy now full like the others, he is ver proportional, and the fact that he is so active, and digging his head for milk, are all good signs. This is based on their experience with peanuts. They said they lose weight, aren't very active (in fact usually lay there), and definitely more unproportional. I think the biggest thing was the fact that yesterday he was not fed in his new pictures, and that made him look a heck of a lot different than the others.



Again, i cannot express the gratitude of the time that was taken by other to help me with my first litter. Really thank you! To my friends, and all the LH Breeder friends I've made. You have taught me a lot, and thanks for looking at all the pictures and helping me. I'm going to keep being strong, because anything can happen. But i feel very good today with all the hopeful, encouraging words you all gave me this morning. Like i told you all, haha, if he or she makes it, he's mine forever!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again this morning, honestly, it made my DAY!!!!!



here are some new pictures:

Lavina's litter to Ahaz!! Dec 7th

Hello! Yepp, Lavina had 4 adorable kits this morning. I was checking on her a few times last night, and wow she was really ripping out the hair and weaving it in her mouth it was so neat. I got my nestboxes yesterday just in time so she's able to use it.

There are two darker kits and two lighter. But it's too hard to tell. Of course with Double mane LH's are different... they have like a color band. Anyway, tommorow or in a few days i should be able to tell better as they were just born this morning! :)

There are two huge ones, one medium size, and one really tiny runtie. I made sure he was eating well he's just so tiny. She's such a good mama! Anyway here they are!!! :) hehehe my first litter! Not lavina's of course but mine Lol LAVINA x AHAZ!!

Good news & bad news!

Well my first litter that I was expecting December 3rd from Zela did not take. I am sure lavina is pregnant though, because I felt babies, so that's a good thing! She is due on the 7th of this month!

Since we no longer have a buck here at Ever After Rabbitry (EAR), we have decided to get a senior buck instead of waiting for one from the litter. Mufasa was sold because he was just too big, we are looking for a buck that is smaller than our does. We have to be picky since we have such limited space and startup costs.

We've been debating over a few rabbitries. Peace Lane's of course is about 2 hours away and we love Judi's LH's! But we have also found a few more breeders that aren't that far, or there is a way they can get them transported to us. I'm VERY interested in Hat Tricks. I have seen her website before, but thought she was too far away. But it is possible she makes trips to the PA/OH border. So that's a plus. Otherwise she is over 4 hours away. I was told by MANY breeders they feel she is the best on this side of the US, so i'd definitely like to get some stock from her in the future.

Anyway, so that's all that is going on in rabbit news right now. We are debating over a few breeders and buns, and have to be picky about our selection with the limited space right now. So... I'll post pictures of the new buck and maybe other buns when we get them :) Thanks for reading!!
