Snow flakes

So photo's finally got a chance today. Thankfully it only lightly started snowing when I got to it. Each bunny had a one minute tops photo shoot, so do not expect any great photography skills taking place here. My camera does best in outdoor light (only way I keep it from looking very blurry) but it's A) too cold for me and the bunnies and B) either lack of daylight or good weather to really ever get to photo's in my spare time. Alas, I got some..and they are adorable!

The following bunnies are all bucks, and .....all available. I did a bunny search last night, since I've had some lovely people inquire to me for bunnies and came up with this little group. I'm not in the business of selling bunnies or anything, in fact I love all of these too! But when lovely homes come along and if I can give them a fantastic match, then I feel that's best. No matter how much I love them all here, I can't give them a full families worth of attention each. :) Anyhow... onto the bunnies!

This first little guy here, is well..kinda shy. He opens up, no worries there. He's a really cutie patootie also. His head is starting to mature and oh my goodness, I just want to kiss his cheeks. He's a lovely chunky monkey in body style and just all over a beautiful little rabbit. I am keeping his brother (expect to see photo's of him in a post soon too!) so I decided to let him go. His mom is one of my lovely old gals, Althea. His sire is Belkin. Just a super little mix and a really cute little bunny. He'll mature nicely to a good three pounds (he loves food and he's pudgy right now), but he's small and will continue to mature and fill out into a very pretty bunny.





This second little guy, is Mr. Lap bunbun. He's, well...very reserved. He enjoys being petted but is not highly into exploring and forgetting about you. He would rather munch on fruit puffs and sit in your lap all day long. Because of that, my short photo session was a flop. He kept trying to come on the chair and back to safety. Poor little guy. He needs a really loving and calm home I think, he would just adore that. He's also pretty small, well under three pounds. His half butterfly or mustache adds to the cuteness factor. He's a mix of bloodlines, but his sire is EP and he shares many of EP's cute qualities.



Next up is Tiny Timmie.. maybe? Timmie isn't a really cute name but oh well, for today...he's Timmie. Timmie here is eight weeks old and just looks downright silly next to these slightly older boys. He's gangly..and well...silly looking in general. He's such a cutie though! I know exactly what he'll look like, but it's a little hard to see it right now unless you watch these bunnies do this (yep, they all get a little goofy looking at this age, which is why...I normally don't photograph them when they are this old..hehe). Timmie here is tiny! I can sit him in my hand. He's be pretty small grown up too but he's a pudgy little guy. Look how fat and round his head is! Oh my! And his body is like a softball. So cute...


I saved the best for last... a fuzzy Holland. Honestly he's only available because I do not have enough time to seriously brush him weekly and it is just not fair of me. I'd name him Chewy, for lack of a better name but I'm gonna go with dust bunny right now. Basically, yes...he's not named either (if I name them, then I have serious issues letting them go..figures). Fluffy here is just so freaking cute! He needs to be brushed about twice a week for an hour or so. His angora fur picks up hay, dust, whatever your feet dropped when you walked in the door... so basically he's a bunny Swiffer. He's honkin' cute though. His daddy is Posidian, and his momma is Molly. He's a beautiful little mix up (the fuzzy gene is a whoopie show up gene...so I didn't plan on a fuzzy, but got one...he's awfully cute none the less). He's maturing really nice and I feel temped to snap little barrettes and bows on him... I might do it. He loves people too! He's really friendly and social, which is awesome. He looks a lot bigger than he his, mostly due to the 2"+ of fluff he's carting around on him. His feet have extra fluff too, so it makes me laugh when I see the fuzz sticking out from between his toes.. he sleeps on his belly, back and sides...he's sometimes lazy but will explore if given the chance. Can you tell I like him? We have play time a lot, but I'm bumming over the fact he really needs more. Aw shucks though... he's available only to an adult or young adult owner...that will brush him and love him and pretty much assure me they will spoil him (well same for all my bunnies, they all need spoiling but you get the idea).

Winter bunnies

Ah, it has been a heck of a long time since I've been able to do anything with my website or blog. I'm so sorry. Bunny happenings have been very slow here, no breedings or anything of the like. The bunnies on my sale page, well the little broken doe is living with my friend and the others..well are either sold or ended up staying here anyways. Mabel is my baby of course now, I adore her. She's just soo darn cute!

Anyhow, back to rabbitry stuff. Since molting season is pretty much over I've been powerwashing the cages each day. It is a little too cold for it and it takes me about an hour a stack to really clean them well but it needs to be done.

I've been weaning some juniors and trying to go over some of the others and see if there are any I can part with. I came up with one to find a new home for today and another I'm edgy on. Both junior bucks. Very cute.

First up is the little guy I'm undecided about. He's a small little buck but I think he has quite a bit of potential if I'm right about him. His head is developing a little slowly, which might be part of my reasoning for maybe letting him go. Although I'm not sure yet, if you may be interested in him, let me know (might help sway me anyways! hehe).


He's overall a nicely balanced boy for being so small. A cute little solid tortoiseshell. His head I think will widen quite a bit with age, so that's not really a worry of mine. His bone is good and his shoulder short, although maybe his headset is a tad tiny low. He's Saynora, FRR and Pitney bloodlines.. a good mix of the countries top completing lines.


He's just finishing up his junior/fall molt, so his coat looks a little rough on the side. Yikes..sorry about that. I just wanted to get his photo's today but you can see below near his shoulder his molting fuzz. hehe. On the plus side he has a nice thick coat too boot.


Second up is the guy I will be posting as available (he is available if you read this and like him, email me, as it may take a couple of days before I get to my website updates). He is ready to go now.

He is an adorable broken tortoiseshell. His dam was from Saynora rabbitry and his sire is FRR and Pitney lines from a rabbitry in WA. Cute cross of top bloodlines in the country. He is available as a pet only to an indoor loving home of course. He is not available a a breeding buck, I'd like him to go to a wonderful home to be spoiled.


He's very well balanced and a beautiful bunny. His head is just starting to come in, and as you can see in the middle photo, it has wonderful shape and is just a fantastic bold and CUTE head. Overall great bone, good substance and cute as a button. He's a small buck, probably only going to mature at about three pounds. He's very inquisitive and loves to explore. He's friendly but a little shy when you first meet him, no worries though as he warms up quick and will jump all over you and hang out for some Cheerios's or applepuffs if you're willing to give in to him.


Other rabbitry news. I finally switched to ANOTHER feed, after three switches since the deadly Manna pro, I've finally settled for a while on one I like and helped create...still fine tuning and adding my own to it though. We'll see. The bunnies are doing better and several are back in condition, just some left to work on. The get to run in puppy pens and move around gaining muscle.

Lots of other bunny options and rabbitry ideas are spinning in my head of course, but time and funding will denote which if any of those get done..oh my.
