SLR's Riley - You win some but you loose some too

This little cutie is SLR's Riley born this summer out of SLR's Chambler and SLR's Dream. He was my pick of the litter buck from this broken x broken breeding(I was wanting a charlie tri buck to use on the harlequin does). He was the sweetest little dude who already LOVED his head & cheek rubs not to mention he was good looking too!

Unfortunetly we lost this little guy today due to intestinal issues. Three days ago now I noticed that he wasn't feeling well so we brought him inside to do a physical exam and we found that he had an impacted intestine. Right away treatment was started and he spent two days at the vet clinic but sadly the impaction was just too great to pass causing a perforated intestine so he lost his fight. We are so sad that this beautiful little guys is gone. Days like this make having rabbits hard but we push through because the other happy excited faces still need their love too. We still have his sister, SLR's Saffir so we feel like we still have a part of him here.

Snow!

We've had the first significant snowfall of the season so we're working extra time to get the bunny barn all insulated and ready for when it gets cold. We took some outside photos this morning so I'll post them below - snow is SO beautiful!

We also don't have any rabbits available at the moment and won't have anything available until we neuter a couple boys and they are recovered so looking for new homes! We do strongly suggest that if you are looking for a pet rabbit to check out your local SPCA to see what they have available. The last time I had a peak they had quite the selection to pick out your new friend from.

A Keeper!

This little doe has got to be one of the nicest does that has been born here to date! We took some photos of her today that we'll share with you but didn't get any photos of her twin looking black sister. This little harli was a bad gal and plucked her sisters face bald so we're waiting for it to grow back in before taking some photos.

This harli was born on July 31/14 so that makes her 2.5 months old(completely in her uglies for my guys) and this is what she looks like! She is out of SLR's Thumper and SLR's AnnaPrimRose. She is super wide and deep with massive bone and a big chunky head and yes this is a girl! Her black sister is basically the exact same looking except for color - we'll try to show her this fall and we're certainly going to be repeating this breeding! Anyways here's her photos - it's not the best lighting but it gives you a good idea of what she looks like!

A Qucik Update

Winter is coming! We've been working around the clock to get the new bunny barn insulated and mouse proof before the snow flies. So far the guys have got the skid welded together and the floor built for the insulated inside part. We'll take some photos soon of the progress but we're super excited about getting them all settled in for the winter. The inside part is a 12 x 12 and the outside play area is a 12 x 18 place for them to run around and be a bunny. We'll split this outside area up a bit so we can put a few bucks out at a time plus the girls. Our gals always get turned out all together unless they have litters or other reasons why they can't play. They all get along well and seem to really enjoy to company of running around with other bunnies.

We'll also have a few bucks available this fall, some of which we may neuter and then they would be looking for a pet home of course. We've bred our old chestnut buck to our new to us doe Tigger today and will probably breed a few more does before the temperatures start to drop. We also have two does that we've kept back out of SLR's Anna and SLR's Thumper whci are the best bodied does that I have felt in a LONG time! They are both gorgeous gals and with one being a harlequin, well we're pretty happy to say the least! I'll try to get photos of them shortly. Until then enjoy the beautiful fall!
