I love the sounds they make when they are this small. To me they get cuter when they have their eyes open. ;)

I am happy to report that all 12 kits are doing well. I hand fet 4 of them a few times the first 2 days but then put them back in with Ruby after. All 12 are little squeeking, hopping popcorn bunnies. I will post pictures when they get a little cuter. :D

OK, I put the 4 kits back in with mom. I will just keep a close eye on the babies. She is a really nice doe and does not mind me messing with her kits. I think I am lucky with her that way. The 6 that lived from her last littler were sooo tame. I hope this litter will be also. :P

Thankyou! I have a new nest box in there now. It has much higher sides and I do not think they kits can get out this time. I did bring 4 in the house and gave them kitten milk replacer. They ate it up. It was not that hard to get them to drink it. Only one kit seems small so far, and I...

My chinchilla (Large) doe had a litter of 12 yesterday. So far they are all ok, but I am thinking I should take 4 or 5 and hand raise them. Her last littler was 11 (Her first litter too) and 5 died. She kicked them out of the nest box over and over. I don't know if it was the same ones or...

He is a good one but I have 6 horses and really would like to have only 3. I have his buddy Slick who is a much nicer mini but 2 inches taller I am debating selling. Slick is a registered 'B'. Slick does not have any trust issues like Rocky does, but he is a little more lazy in harness.

I forgot to say I am in SW Washington State. ;)

Rocky is a 15 year old 34 inch mini gelding. He is a well trained cart horse and has a very good work ethic and was in training for marathons last year. He was a rescue I bought from a horse dealer 6 years ago so can be a little shy. He does best with a quiet hand and a little patients. He has...

My MIL decided to keep him. Bummer for me, but that is ok. He is still in the family!!

I have 6 horses. Well technally, I have one, my hubby has 2 and my son has 3. :D Bein is the oldest. My husband bought her as a 4 y/o and she is now 27. she is a Gainey bred Arabian mare. 14.2hh. CJ my hubby's other horse. He is a 10 y/o Hispano-Arabe (Arab X Andalusian) and we bred...

Thanks again bunnylady. I was told by someone I sould get rid of my buck because he hit her in the eye, but I really like him and don't want to do that. He has so much personality. ;) I have antibiotic ointment for ruby's eye and I hope that should take care of that soon. I will look for...

And we are already off to a rough start. Today he bit her on the lower eye lid and not it is all goopy and nasty looking. :rolleyes: I will get some ointment for it tomorrow. Are bucks usually that agressive? (I put her in with him, BTW)

Thanks!! I believe the parents are pure bred. I was hoping for chocolate pointed Chinchilla colored bunnies, but I will see what I get. I also hope they have the darker eyes of the doe, not the red eyes of the buck. Do you know anything about how that might turn out?

I got a 2 y/o California buck rabbit a few months ago and yesterday I picked up a doe Chinchilla. She is a year old. I want to cross breed them and am wondering what colors I might get with this cross. My california is of course white with chocolate points and the Chinchilla is of course...

I still have this cute little horse. You know you want her!!
