The Rabbit Queen
Hello everyone! This is my journal for my rabbitry, Woodleigh Creek Rabbitry. To start off, I am going to give a little background information.
I live in a small house with no land in a neighbourhood in Columbia, South Carolina. After I had to get rid of my chickens, I was looking for a new project. One that would not put a lien on our house. I went to the general 4-H meeting to see what was available. I heard that they were starting up a Rabbit 4-H club. I had had rabbits before, but only ones from the petstore.
The speaker showed pictures of all types of rabbits, but the one that really caught my eye was an Angora. After she was finished, I told her I wanted to join the club. She asked me what kind of rabbit I wanted so I told her I want an Angora. Apparently, the kind I wanted (English Angora) was a bit to big for me to take care of, so she suggested a Jersey Wooly. A few months later I got my first pair. A tort buck named Suka and a black brood doe named Hufflepuff. I went to my first show that month and Suka got BOB twice. After that, I got a blue doe who I named J~Woww and bred Hufflepuff and Suka.
In her first litter, Hufflepuff had 3 kits, though only one survived. That kit was sold and I rebred her. She only had one kit who I kept and named Hummingbird Heartbeat. He got 3 legs and a RIS his first time out. I entered him in one open show to see how he placed. Out of 40 rabbits, he took BOB.
By that time, I had gotten 4 more rabbits. A broken squirrel doe named Lat Friday Night, a REW doe (broken) named Hot Stuff, a REW buck named Waking up in Vegas, and a Smoke Pearl named Starstruckk.
