New Beauties :)

Well, I go tomorrow eve to pick up some new English Angoras and a pair of Jersey's. I can't wait. I hope I am feeling better by then!!! I thought I was feeling better today with this cold and here I am on the couch with the laptop feeling a fever running through :( This sucks! If I'm not feeling that great on Sunday, I may just drive to the show to pick up my new bunnies and not show. We will see though I guess! This snow we have here is ridiculous. How funny is it when you have to dig a trench to reach your rabbits,lol!!! I can't believe how high some of the drifts are. If I felt better, I would take the kids out sledding.

Well, I feel my cold meds kicking in again. Good night everyone :)

Bunny news

Well, my first contact for BEW fell through, but I am getting a BEW buck and a VC doe from Angelsbunnies! I'm excited. It looks like I will have a carload on the way home from the Washington CH show. I am also getting some French Angoras as well. I plan on breeding the majority of my does after this show. I am hoping that taking them there will make them more receptive ;)

I was out with the rabbits until 2AM last night!! It actually started to thaw, so I took the opportunity to scrape up the concrete floor and clean a few pans. I am so behind because everything has been freezing. I was also able to get a few buns groomed and get some pics up on my page. I still have a few to shrink to size and get up and of course a lot of rabbits to take pics of.

I am trying to sell the majority of my lionhead herd to make room for my angora and JW herd. I will keep a couple though.

I was able to purchase about 6 used cages and a couple of bigger carriers this past weekend as well! I was pretty excited about that. We went ahead and threw out 5 cages this morning. I had thought about replacing floors, but they just weren't worth it. The "trays" in them left much to be desired. I also bought a 4 ft tall shelf to put in with the bunnies to be a bit more organized.

I put together a conditioning mix and started feeding it to all of my rabbits. Wow, what a difference!!!!! They clean up everything now, and some that felt a little out of condition are picking up nicely. If anybody is interested, I will have some for sale!

Well, my colllege called off classes this evening! I am sooo happy about that...between having to get rabbits ready for this show, cleaning up, and having a head cold...and of course not wanting to drive (LOL) it worked out nicely. The kids did not have school as well!

Well folks, time to get to some chores.

TAke care and keep a shovel handy!

BEW's

I am making the plunge and I have decided to go with BEW in my English Angoras. I can't wait. They are absolutely breathtaking! I should be recieving some in the next 2 wks. I am also on a waiting list with Candy. I hate starting out with a small gene pool with anything, so I try to go witha couple of different breeders and see where that takes me. Well, wish me luck on this venture!! :)
