The New May Rabbits

I woke up to a surprise.  Seven kits!

Meadow has mothered 15 kits so far.

A wee bee!
My little Meadow had her babies this morning! She had seven this time. Noah's rabbit had eight kits yesterday. They are so cute and pink. I have a little runt and Noah has a runt.

sooner or later

We have two does that are about to have their babies, Meadow and Dixie. They are due any day now! Last year I got eight kits for showing at the fair as market rabbits. This year I am hoping for the same amount. Any way, they are fat and lazy. They are eatting ALOT and making their nest boxes cozy. We made two boxes this year! They are wooden and just the right size. I now have three nesting boxes. We got a medal box for 10.00$ at TSC! That is a better price then it was. The boxes have welded wire on the bottom. I cant wait for the kits to be born!

show

 We went to a rabbit show last week. I put Meadow in the show. She got third place on being best rabbit! My friend got second! I got first place on rabbit knowledge. Or you could call it rabbit showmanship. But it was really fun, and I enjoyed it. When I was at the show I saw Mini Lop rabbits, New Zealands, Holland lops and more! After the show we went home and bred two young does for fair this year. Coming soon baby bunnies!
