The 2 kits didn't make it :(
I started all the rabbits on a 5-day Corid treatment again...did a ton of research and talked to a few rabbit breeders and they don't know what could have caused seizures in newborns :idunno

On a brighter note, someone contacted me about a possible trade....3 angora bucks for a refurbished laptop! I need a new laptop and was planning on trying to get this one fixed but getting all the issues fixed would cost me almost as much as a new laptop. So this deal sounds great!
I'm having a hard time selling the bucks...everyone wants does. But this person is getting into fiber/spinning and they know bucks are better for that...so it's perfect :D =D

Sorry that you lost the litter of kits. You may be right, that there was something wrong with the litter. Mother Nature has a way of correcting mistakes. In the wild, they would have provided a meal for another animal. Such is the way of raising animals, we celebrate the success and deal with the loss. Yes, you lost that litter, then the next litter came along and they are healthy and fat.

Love the pictures of your dog and bunnies!

No babies from Skyler yet...she didn't make a nest last night but she's strange about her nests so I might have to make one for her today.
Maybe she'll have her kits during the day! I love daytime litters...then i can actually keep a close eye on them :)

I rebred Betty yesterday with Archie...my chocolate chin buck who threw that blue-eyed VM kit in his litter with the lionhead. Maybe i'll get some blue-eyed squirrels! The breeder that I got one of my bucks from had a VM chestnut and a VM squirrel both with blue eyes and they were just beautiful.

The weather has been so much nicer the past few days...less humid and in the upper 80's.
Still no sign of rain in the forecast...i'm afraid to mow the lawn, don't want it to burn even more!

Have a great day everyone! :frow

Miss Amberlops,

I hope your kits arrived safe and sound today.





Huh? Rabbits can cross breed with squirrels?:ep Does that give rabbits who gather acorns and climb trees?

Ha ha! NO!
Rabbits can't breed with squirrels :lol:
Squirrel is a color from the agouti group in rabbits...it's called Blue Chinchilla in other breeds, but in the Holland Lop it's called Squirrel ;)
This is Betty Sue when I first brought her home in March. She's a Squirrel.
