Special focus on Brokens and Blues, but have all showable colors.

Best news in a bad situation...I decided last minute to try to foster Debs litter to Sky.. I was worried because they are older by a week, Sky has 4 and I wasn't sure how she would feel about the sudden increase in 'children' but y'all this doe is AMAZING.. she accepted them and within the hour was nursing and grooming them like they had been hers from day one.. thank you Lord!!

Sometimes Dealing with Animals is truly heartbreaking.. I can't remember when I have been this Disappointed, Angry, Sad and hurt all at once, at least toward an animal!
Deb is a Red New Zealand doe I bred and Raised.. literally.. her mother had no milk, so I ended up bottle feeding the litter. Deb (Debut) had such nice color and Type I decided to keep her..
I had intended to show her but never got to show anyone last Spring.
So she became a brood doe because I THOUGHT she was being super hormonal.. turns out she's just a nasty tempered doe. First 3 times I bred her she missed.. I decided to give her one more chance and she had a large litter of 13! Only 8 of the 13 survived but despite her still being exceptionally cage territorial, She was taking good care of her kits... that is UNTIL they got out of the nestbox and started moving around HER cage.
She has progressively gotten nastier and nastier with them until this afternoon when I was feeding she attacked one of her little bucks and I thought she had broken his leg. Thankfully after he calmed down (it broke my HEART hearing him screaming and trembling even after I grabbed him out and held him close) he started putting weight on the leg and I do not feel a fracture.
She seems to only be bad when I'm feeding.. I think she's just resource guarding.. so I am going to TRY tomorrow to remove her and feed her in a transport cage and feed the babies in their cage. Once they have eaten, I will put her back and watch. If she even shows the SLIGHTEST indication that she's going after them.. she's DONE. They are only 4 weeks old and I really would like to leave them with her at least another week but not if the risk from HER outweighs the risk of early weaning. I'm fairly certain she isn't allowing them to nurse anymore anyway.
It truly hurts my heart to have to cull a rabbit I raised on a bottle.. but I will not allow her to get away with more than I would any other .. I will also not pass her off to be a problem for someone else.. so she is definitely being culled.. it's only a matter of if it's now or later .

Due to some health issues, I have decided to scale my rabbit herd back. I decided to just focus on my Whites, Reds and Brokens.
I will have several very proven Brood does and Bucks available. All are pedigreed, some have shown well. All have produced large very healthy litters for me. No issues with any of them kindling or mothering their Litters..
Tentatively I will have 2 Black does, a Blue Doe, and Blue, Broken Blue, and Broken Black bucks. If any are interested please message for further information and pictures.
The Blue doe is on brood and could potentially go with her litter.

Saying prayers for this little smudge this evening.. found her behind the nestbox (a lot of that this time) she had clearly missed several feedings and looked quite dehydrated.. got some fluids into her, then after a rest, I syringe fed her. She ate very well for me, then after peeing all over me, settled in for a good rest. If I can keep her alive, she will be inside for a while and I will be her mom..
So hope she bounces back

Whoohooo! We have babies galore! I felt really confident about these girls being pregnant and they didn't disappoint..
Dream (Broken Black) x Storm (Black) was an experimental pairing.. they are mother and Son. I really hope to see some improvement. Unfortunately we only had 3 and surprisingly all 3 are solid Black.
Crystal (Black) x Riddle (Broken Black) had 9, and what a fantastic surprise we have Broken Black, Broken Blue, Black, Blue and White in this litter. I had no idea she carried dilute.
Lastly my lovely Mimzy (Broken Black) x Elvis (Blue) had 7, they also had a beautiful colorful litter of Broken Blue, Broken Black, Black and Blue.
As we wrap up breeding until Fall.. I have 4 does left.. I have Debut (Red) x CASH (Red) along with Rosie (Meat Brood Broken Chestnut) x Hardy (Broken Blue) that are both due the end of the month, then I have Soci and Promise who will be bred this weekend.
Soci (White) x Gambler (White)
Promise (Broken Blue) x Elvis (Blue)
These will be my final litters until November or December once temps cool back down.
I am so thankful for the beautiful kits this year, the education I have received and Still am receiving on Color Genetics (Steel).
I am thankful to the Breeders who have helped me get my herd started.. I am especially thankful to Angela for her mentorship/friendship. I still find myself just staring at Soci (HKS3- BYL's High Society) and wondering how I deserve such an amazing animal. I am RIDICULOUSLY excited to see her first litter!
Will keep you all posted on how these babies grow.. it's been a baby Boom!
We currently have..
CRYSTAL 9 (Newborn)
MIMZY 7 (Newborn)
DREAM 3 (1 Day)
KAHUNA 6 (1 Week)
VALENTINE 8 (1 Week)
RAMONA 10 (1 Week)
SKY 8 (4 Weeks)
ROSIE 2 (4 Weeks)
That's 53 little babies.
I still have a few left from my Christmas litters that I will be going through again to determine who goes on to show and who will go to the Freezer..
Lots to do! More to come.
