Our cherry tree on the way out to the rabbitry is blooming and looks lovely!
And all my original flowers are doing really well!
I bought a bunch of Marigolds and picked up some tins from the Dollar Store and some glass pots at a yards sale, plus a couple of hanging baskets. It's looking great back there :)
And I'm still selling LOTS of rabbit manure. This is a great time of the year for it, because so many people are beginning their gardens, both vegetables and flowers :)
AND, to top it all off....I have seven females who are all due this Friday!!!!
 |
| Pumpkin |
I have them all in hutches and they've begun the process of building their nests. Now that it's warming up out, they're happy to rip out generous amounts of fur to line their nests :)

| Arrow |
 |
| Malaguena |
 |
| Pocahontas' nest... |
 |
| ...and Pocahontas :) |
 |
| Buttons |
I've been hard at work planting flowers, scooping poop, cleaning hutches, trying to make it look nice back there and not to mention all those adorable babies we've been holding now that their eyes are open! :)
GG is really funny...she's more on the shy side of things (she was part of the free 16 bunnies I picked up off of craigslist) but she's sweet. I'm hoping she's going to be a good mother...we'll see shortly!

Valentine's still being an awesome foster mother! She's taken wonderful care of her own four, plus one of Dotty's that she had rejected.
The other day I sexed all the babies from all the litters. It's not definite with them all (as it can be EXTREMELY hard to tell at such a young age) but here's what I believe them all to be at this current time...
Brown - Male
Black/White - Female
Grey - Male
Brown/White - Female
Brown/White - Male
The one baby had his eye shut after they opened. We opened it up with some warm water and a cloth and it's stayed open for the last few days, which is a very good sign :)
Then Ruby still has all TEN of her babies!!!
They're running all over the place...it's so cute to watch :)
From Ruby's litter...here's what I believe all of their sexes to be:
Brown - Male
Brown - Female
Black/white - Male
Black/white - Male
White - Male
White - Female
White - Female
White - Female
White - Male
White - Female
 |
| The one baby's trying to nurse :) You can see his little feet! |
They LOVE that bucket...both being inside it, on it, and next to it :)
The more adventurous they're getting...the more hectic it is for Ruby, but she's doing a great job with them.
Then inside this yellow, old box is where Dotty's litter hangs out most of the day :)
 |
| Dotty's grey baby in the food dish :) |
Dotty is very protective, but she's been very good about letting me hold her babies.
For this litter, Dotty has a nice mix of males and females :)
Light Grey/White - Female
Tan - Male
Black - Female
Black/White - Male
Black/White - Female
Brown/White - Female
Brown/White - Female
They're all so darling!
I love how he's all tan, except for his one paw, which is white :)

Kayla's been doing an awesome job with her two little babies!
 |
| Kayla |
The little white/black one looks JUST like Kayla :) So adorable!
This little grey baby is a male :)
Then the Black/White is a female :)
LE, like all the others, has been an awesome mother!
 |
| LE |
Her babies haven't been too adventurous yet, but they will be in the very near future :)
She has lots of spotted babies since the dad of this litter was Oreo :)
I must say, I almost always love spotted better than a solid color...but I really like the dark grey baby. He's a real cuttie :)
In this litter we have...
Light Grey - Male
Dark Grey - Male
White - Female
Black/White - Male
Black/White - Male
Black/White - Male
Black/White - Female
NEXT big bit of news....MORE females are bred and ready to pop in a little less than 4 weeks :)
 |
| Peanuts was bred with Rhett |
 |
| Dadooshka was bred with Achilles and Oreo (she wasn't really cooperating) |
 |
| Calypso was bred with Dustin |
 |
| Kizzy was bred with Piccolo |
 |
| Cupcake is bred with Benjamin :) |
Then while I LOVE Achilles' markings and the beautiful babies he makes...I have him up for sale because I have too many males.
Then the peeps are covered in beautiful feathers and our out from both our basement and garage and loving life in their new and HUGE space :)
I think most of the Ameracauna peeps are males, unfortunately. However there are definitely 2 females in there!
Then for a bit of sad news....
 |
| Sprinkles (AKA MudBug) |
Sprinkles had been bred with Bruce and was in her own cage enjoying life. I went out one day to take cage of them and her cage was on the ground and her spin was severed. She was still alive. When I picked her up to see if she was alright, I could feel her spin grinding into the other side of it. You could tell she was in pain and so we put her down. She was one of my favorites as she was the sweetest bunny ever.
 |
| Mara |
Then on a different note...I was going to breed Mara, but after thinking about it, I didn't want to have a line of bunnies as evil as her, so I found her a forever home along with the remaining bunnies from Peanut's litter.
And so there you go! That has been some of the things going on lately with my bunnies. Oh, I also gave my brother Honey (a female I was going to keep from Peanut's last litter). She's super sweet and he can bond with her while she's young. Plus he named her. Then when she's old enough he can breed her with my males and earn some cash when the babies are old enough to sell :)
