A spring update on kits

 If you’ve been patiently waiting for a bunny from us then you might finally be in luck! We will have some available once they are weaned from their moms at 8 weeks. The first ones will be 8 weeks on March 17th. These little guys will be available a few days after they are weaned(to make sure that they are transitioning well and to help reduce stress) as they are colors from programs that don’t fit into what we have here. These ones are all out of the tri line and are either torts or blacks that I know of at this point. They are available regardless of type so there’s potential for show quality animals however when they are so young, it’s impossible for me to say what quality they will be when mature. So if you’re looking for a show animal, it’s a educated gamble at this point. Bucks and does will both be available and there maybe some normals(animals with two normal genes so will grow to that 4-5 pound range, which is heavier then the standard calls for) plus the crown development will be a guess at this age(some crowns may remain tight causing the ears to be erect and some will have fully lopped ears). 


We will be requiring a 50% non-refundable deposit on these guys once they are weaned and posted for sale, to reserve which bunny you would like. Pet's are priced at $60 with no pedigree. Show and breeding stock go up from there. You are free to inquire before that point however we will not guarantee an animal or accept a deposit until they are weaned and doing well. I expect to have photos and information posted around March 17th and later for those litter weaned later. 


We are located North west of Grande Prairie AB and any transport will be the responsibility of the buyer to arrange and make payment for


Here's what's in the box for litters(not all of these will be available) 


DOB Jan 20/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd(tort) x SLR's F140(torted tri doe) had 5, 2 tort bucks, 1 torted harlequin, 1 torted tri buck and what I think is a minimally marked torted tri doe.

Just about all the torts and blacks will be available and the ones that are specified as being held back for now, will be grown out here until a later date and may or may not be available depending on type development then. 


We are also planning a herd reduction hopefully before we start calving so will have some brood stock available mostly tri/harlequin animals. If you are interested then send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry @ hotmail.com (remove spaces). We are approaching our busy time of year at calving so please be patient on the reply, if I haven't replied to you within a couple business days then please send me another e-mail. Please e-mail me instead of leaving a comment on this post - I don't check them and don't get notifications of comments to know they are there.
