The look of fear in Little Jerry's eyes... ๐Ÿ‘€

"Um guys, what's that poky clamp thing for?!!"

๐Ÿซฃ Rest assured that Little Jerry spared no dramatics and jumped off the table into the trash can. 90% of the rabbits will hold still for a quick tattoo - not Jerry ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

A little sad that this cute 8 week old Polish buck had his ear over groomed. He's a singleton kit and was very loved by his first time mama, maybe a bit too much! ๐Ÿ™ˆ We were hopeful the ear tip would heal and re-grow in black fur.. but, darn it - white hair on the ear tip! We really don't need brood-only bucks at the moment, but we will see how he grows out a bit before deciding. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Someone doesn't want to share her kit ๐Ÿคฃ

Buttons is one of those type I call a "fussy mom" .. she basically lived in the nest box with her kit since birth and now that the nest box has gone, they are still like velcro!

Well, THIS was a surprise! ๐Ÿผ

Long story short, Wigglytuff got her show career cut short because she was bred by mistake! ๐Ÿ˜ณ At some point, when we had bunnies out in the playpens - Wigglytuff and Pibbles - both black does - got put back in each other's cages. I noticed a couple weeks ago and swapped them back. Apparently, they had been in the wrong cages longer than I had thought. Pibbles was supposed to be bred to Bunzilla, but Wigglytuff was bred in her place by mistake - and poor girl has been showing her whole pregnancy! OOPS!

Last night, I noticed Wiggly acting very frantic...I thought back to the accidental cage swap (which I thought was for only a couple of random days) and was like hmmm nooooo way. But, yesssss way! So, I rushed and got her a nest box and she immediately made a nest and gave birth to 3 healthy kits! Two days overdue, while Pibbles never actually got bred! ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿซ 

Thankfully, Wigglytuff and Bunzilla do make a nice pair, even though we weren't planning on breeding this 5 month old doe the boys were showing. She did earn 3 junior legs at least LOL..darn for no senior leg! The mama dewlap DQ has arrived!
