Found My camera!!!!




Happy Saturday everybody!!! I finally found my digital camera that I "lost"...turns out it wasn't lost, it was in the bottom of my purse, which sometimes is almost the same thing as being lost.  I took these pictures of the dogs last week, before my camera ended up in the bottom of my purse. The funny thing is, I don't even have a big purse, its a smaller purse to keep this very thing from happening.

As you guys can see, My Trio of pups are getting along just fine. Its not always easy to get a shot of everybody together. Sometimes somebody sneezes, blinks, see's a squirrel, or decides they need to pee.

Its been a slightly busy day here. I set 42 eggs in the incubator, that will be this springs meat. Then of course there is the basic, put gas in the car, get chicken feed, feed the chickens, gather eggs, feed the rabbits, snuggle the babies, wash and put away laundry, fix supper...you get the idea...the best part is, its Saturday night, and that means, new Doctor Who episodes!!!!

Now, here are some bunny pictures from last week as well. They have gotten a little bit bigger since I've taken these pictures, but are still just as adorable!!!

More Baby Bunnies!!!!







Doris's babies are starting to open their eyes, so they have started climbing out of the nest box. We are going to be putting up what I like to call baby bumpers around the sides of the cage to keep them from squeezing out. Just have to wait on Frank to get up. (He works night shift, so He obviously does need to sleep some.  I just cant get over how fast these guys grow!!!!

Ginger had her babies this morning!!! Of course she knew just how hard I was waiting, so she made me wait a little longer...but they are here!!! I don't know how many she has just yet, because I'm leaving them alone for the day, to let her adjust.

Growing Babies!!!




These are two of Doris's kits, as you can see, they are growing quickly!!!! Even though they are older than Ethel's kits, they are a lot smaller than Ethel's.  Of course, Doris is a smaller rabbit, and had a larger littler, where as Doris is a much bigger rabbit, who had a much smaller litter in comparison.

Two of Ethel's kits have started climbing out of the nest box on their own, even though their eyes aren't open yet. I covered the floor with hay around the nest box so that they would have a softer landing. Yesterday one of the blue ones was out of the box 3 different times. Once she was just laying in a pile of hay, the next time she was crawling around, and the last time she was hanging out with her mom. This morning it was one of the black ones, and it was cuddled up against Ethel. When I put some food in her dish, she went over to that, so I scooped the little guy up and put it back in the nest box. Once their eyes are open, I guess I'll just have to turn the nest box over on its side, and let them come and go as they please.

Morning Bunny updates











By now, you are probably saying...ENOUGH of the baby bunny pictures!!!! This being my first time as a baby bunny watcher, I can't help myself.  Now I did get some pictures of all of the Silver Fox grown ups as well for you guys. (If you are a potential buyer, maybe you are enjoying the watching of the growing bunnies??)

Alright, lets get started on who's who, and who belongs to who!!! 

In the first picture you see two cute little sleeping bunnies, and yes, I did get that much coveted Lilac!!!! The hubby has given his approval on keeping the little guy regardless of Gender. I suppose he knew just how bad I wanted a lilac. If its male, it will be Jean, if its female its Debbie. (yeah, I've already started picking out names)

In the second picture, we have that beautiful little Chocolate bunny that had started out looking like a lilac. Its amazing how fast they change!!! But they are quickly growing, and getting so chubby!!! 

The next picture is basket full of Doris's babies. All of hers are blue and black. She had 4 Blacks, and 7 blues. Ethel has 2 of her babies, 1 is black, and 1 is blue. Those two little ones are finally starting to gain weight and grow. I was a bit concerned about them. They didn't look like they were going to make it they were so skinny. I guess that's what happens when a bunny has so many kits. In order to be able to tell them apart, I put some green tattoo ink on the tips of their ears. Its so funny to see that green. 

This next cute little black guy sleeping in my hand is one of Doris's babies. He/She seemed rather content to sleep in my hand like that. That was one of those things that just really made me go awwwww....

Up next we have Doris with her nest box. She has really made up for that first incident. She has really turned out to be an excellent mother. 

Now my grown up bunnies are posted in this order, Betty, Doris, Hudsen, Fred and Ginger. I don't have one of Ethel right now, but I plan on trying for one of Ethel today for you all. She kept moving every time I snapped a picture, so they came out blurry.  As you can see, Fred is quite a long bunny all stretched out like that.  they are all quite large, and have a good shape. 

Ginger, really looks like she's going to pop, she's really showing, even though somebody in one of the rabbit groups said that bunnies don't show, we just imagine they are showing because of human emotions. I guess they must just have small litters every time. 

Well, that's enough rambling from me for today!!
