They are Growing and Growing

They are 6 weeks old now and 6 have survived. They are gregarious and have a lot of fun. I have placed an edible log in the tub with them and it is amusing to see them all crowd in there. I am sure they do not realize that they are not all hidden. They are also jumping up on the edge of the tub. The time I like the best is when they are all on the bed hopping over and around me.

They are eating hay and pellets and their mom still nurses them once a day. I am planning on keeping the two red eyed whites unless they are both bucks and then will only keep one. I want to keep the best black doe also. I do not need bucks at the moment. Of course, I would love to just keep them all but that is not really wise. Plan on breeding Jett to my other buck, an erimine. Will do that in a month or two. Will post some pics as soon as I can figure out where I put them on the computer.

A new knitting site

I just signed up for a knitting site called Ravelry. It is a nice site with a place to keep all your knitting stuff in order. I look forward to using and participating in it.

Did not drop off face of the earth...well, at least am back

I can't believe that so many months have gone by. Some have been wonderful and some....well, you know, life. I have backed off a bit with the rabbits. Had a few losses that were hard to take. And realized that I wanted to concentrate on my french angoras. Did one breeding this year. Plan on a few more. Think if I concentrate on getting my lines established it will be better than doing too much. Will not be attending many shows this year. I love going but think it better if I wait until I have more stock. Bred Jett and Obsidian and had 9 babies. I was surprised at so many. We lost a runt and I think we may lose another runt too. I just will not do supplemental feeding. I figure if they cannot make it then perhaps, it is for the best.

Here are some pics:

The white ones. Except I think one of them is maybe cream

All the babies


The kids seem to be doing well. Rosie is busy with "Words of Fire" and David should graduate this year. Hurray!!!. He will be going to prom next week. Anna is growing up and I don't want her to. But I haven't figured out how to keep her little. Julius is married and living in Illinois. He is maturing.

The ducks are wonderful. They have started laying again. The indian runners built a little next under the rabbit house and it took us awhile to find them. So Eggs R Us is back up and running. The local food coop is buying them from us and I can't wait for the farmer's market to start up again.
