The bunnies are all doing well. I have several litters due in the next few days/week. If I get any, I'll update. I added Red Oak to the for sale page. I wouldn't sell him but he has been known to bite. He has wonderful color! I love it! He has very nice type as well. I am asking $75 for him. Contact me if you interested. Anyways just a short update from Son Rose Rabbitry.

Can you believe it is already November? The days go by fast! I lost Dancer's whole litter. :( I'm not really sure what happened. Well I'll just try again.

Starburst babies are doing great. I think I mentioned that the sire is my Siamese Sable buck, Jacob. Most of you are probably thinking "Why would you breed a Orange to a Sable??" but let me tell you the story.......

Starburst, my broken orange nd doe became broody at about 4/5 months so I decided "why not try to breed her? She's young, and does normally miss the first time." Then the question came. "Who do I breed her to???" At the time, I had no chocoalates, oranges, ect. Her type is OK and my sable buck has really nice type so I thought "why not?" So the 31 days went by and a week before I put hay and a box in. Not expecting much. I went out to feed and water on her due date who is ripping out fur?!? I was shocked! It turned out to be chestnuts. I pictured them below: (These are random photos, I didn't get them at the same age.)

Chestnut Doe

Aren't we cute?



Broken Chestnut buck

So after that I bred her to my broken orange buck "Fireball" and she missed. Then I got to thinking "That was fun getting chestnuts, I'm going to try that again" and got TORTS!! What a suprise. I took this picture today:

Aren't they adorable?!? They are so sweet!!! Starburst won't be going anywhere any time soon! :) She is a great mom! Thank you Andrea at Peachtree Rabbitree for this sweet doe!

I updated the website and took Broken Splash off. She is turning out way nicer than I thought so I bred her to Hershey. I might sell her in the future but for right now I want to see what I can get. Cocoanut our HL doe is due tomorrow and if she kindles I will write a new post.

Dancer had another litter yesterday. She had three kits last time but this time? Five healthy kits. I know for some people thats not alot but for me its exciting. :) She had two dark kits that I can't tell if they are seals or sables. One is a marten but one is a solid. The other three I think are Smokes. Some are martens some aren't. Once I comfirm colors I'll update.

I know this is short but just wanted to update everyone. I updated the for sale page as well as the Nestbox page. I also changed the template to fall! ;) I also bred a few new bunnies this week. Anyways.

A new litter

Well we had another litter here at Son Rose Rabbitry this week. Monday, Starburst gave birth to two torts. The Sire was Jacob. I can't wait to see how they mature.

Vixen was due and I went out this morning and she had pulled fur but I didn't find any babies. Later I found on dead baby. I don't know but maybe a stillborn? Dancer is also due.


I updated the site completly today. I do have Broken Splash available still. I have been back and forth on whether to keep her or not. She is very sweet and will be a good brood doe but not showable because 1) Her back is not all that smooth and 2) She is heavy pattern. She carries chocolate and I thought about keeping her but really need the cage space right now. When she was little, she was really nice. She is at lanky stage so I don't know how she'll turn outI'm asking $10 for her. Let me know if your interested!

The weather is getting colder! It was about 60-65 today and at night it is getting in the forty's!!

Whew! We've been so busy! I have been culling some bunnies. I was at a friends house and saw a BEW doe for sale and just had to get her. I don't have a buck but I don't see buying one so I'll just use Hershey and get my own line going. I'm going to show her next month at Conyers show. She is pictured on my does page under "Raddison's Clara".

In other new, Dancer and Vixen's (Vixen is raising Mask's baby) babies are doing well. I have a few does due over the next week or so and I'm hoping their bred.

The fairview show was the 1st and was a pretty good show. We came home with a black silver marten ND pair. And two new HL does, a Sable Point and a Tort. We are excited about our new aditions can't wait to start breeding them.

We have been going over each bunny and deciding what we need to cull. We decided to sell our HL jr buck. He will be a great pet for someone who wants a sweet bunny. We also have a broken black doe and a Siamese Sable jr doe (ND) available.

Thanks for reading,

I never know what to put for my title. :) I was taking photos of Dancer and Mask's litter and wanted to share.


This is Dancer's doe. I think she is a himmie marten but I'm not sure yet. She is really sweet. When I took this picture, she kept checking everything out. :)


This is Mask's baby. I love this little doe. She gets a lot of attention :). She wouldn't hold its eyes open lol. It turned out to be a Smutty himi.

The Fairview show is this weekend and I'm really exited. TNT

Busy

Where to start?!? It's been so long since I've wrote a post. Now to the litters!

I will start by saying that sadly Emma's litter did not make it. They were pretty small so. Maybe extended peanuts? I don't really know.

Jacob x Dancer ~ 1 kit: Dancer did have three but sadly two didn't make it. They were smaller than their litter mate. She is doing great with one though!

Jacob x Mask ~ 1 kit: Mask had three but this time I think was a little stressed and was as great of a mom. These were also small. It ended up she has a smutty himmie.

Vixen had a kit but it also died a few days ago.... She is raising Mask's though. I was just glad she had a live kit because when I bought her, she had only had stillborns.

It's been in the 70's this week and I can feel the hope of fall!! It is suppose to warm up to 80's this week but still better than 90's. :) Hope all my bunny friends have a good week!!! Until next time, God Bless!!
