New Litters

Please keep in mind that we are right in calving season now so my reply time to inquiries may be very delayed.

We've had some new litters born here so here's the update!

GC SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F100(a tri doe out of Wyatt and Annie) had her first litter doing a perfect job. She's got five in the box, 1 torted black/orange harlequin, 3 broken torts and 1 tort on April 16/20

GC Clear Sky's Marley x Knoland's BMG2 had 4 with 1 peanut, 2 broken torts and 1 tort on April 16/20

SLR's F88(a heavily marked black and orange harlequin buck from Wyatt and Annie) x SLR's Honeybee had two black and orange harlequins on April 20/20


We're trying to get our older babies tattooed, their first evaluations, nails trimmed and dewormed today(plus the oldest litter weaned!). If we can do some photos too we might but they are still on the young side for most of them so will likely not post any photos for another couple weeks.

Tis' the season.

We normally try to "shut things down" for the months of April and May as we are also cattle producers and are typically the busiest during calving in these months. This means it may take me a few days to reply to messages and we don't often sell anything during this time. We are also going to create a questionnaire for those who inquire about sale animals that we do not know from previous interactions. This will just make some things more standard and instead of having to play the question game over multiple emails, we'll hopefully streamline this a bit. With that being said too, we breed for show quality animals. Yes we do also produce pets and those are animals that come from a breeding intended to produce show animals but for whatever reason, that specific rabbit doesn't have the qualities that we are looking for confirmation or color wise for a show or breeding program. We hope that most of our animals that we do not keep back to help our program make the breed better, go to homes that will show them and try to help further the breed in a good way.

We did have some litters born and I'll update the sexes below as we did get to having a peak at that. At this current time, all the pet quality ones are spoken for and the others will need to wait until they are at least 8 weeks old to have a first evaluation type wise.

GC SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F103 - 1 tort buck, 1 tort doe, 1 black buck

GC Clear Sky's Marley x SLR's F94 - 2 tort bucks, 2 tort does


We have five more litters due in the next week so will try to update on who has what once those cuties are born.

New Babies

We've had our first few litters of 2020 and here's the results.

GC Clear Sky's Marley x SLR's F94( 2 legs) has four black torts, two buck and two does that are about a month old now

GC SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F101(harli doe from Wyatt and Annie) has two black torts, one fox and one torted harlequin that are about two weeks old

.

GC Clear Sky's Marley x SLR's Blake has three blacks and a lightly marked torted harlequin who are almost two weeks old.

GC SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's 103(Chestnut doe from Finn and Blake) has a black and two black torts.

The fox and almost all of the blacks will be available since those aren't colors that we work with in our program(we do keep the odd black to test breed our tris too to figure out their genotype).

Today feels like spring!

Today does feel like spring but I won't kid myself yet! We've went through some bunnies and bred a few today too. We'll have these three available right now and possibly some more at a later date. Please send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry @ Hotmail.com (remove spaces) for more information and photos. I managed to drop my camera(okay so the kids pushed it off the dryer) and the lens bent so sometimes it focuses but other times not. So I can send some poor quality phone photos at this moment.

SLR's F118 Tort buck DOB Aug 25/19 Brood No DQ's but crown needs to develop, ears are above horizontal right now, could be shown but not what I consider "show". Needs to be more upright and needs to fill out but is a young buck. Nice head coming in if you look past his ears.  $100

SLR's F112 Torted black and orange harlequin DOB Aug 1/19 Show(if the color was showable) $150 - I really don't mind if this dude stays here as he's developing so nicely. Love this buck and he's probably one of the nicest harlequin based bucks we've let go of. He's got wonderful mass and width especially for being such a young SR. He could use more depth and fullness in the loin area and needs more width to his crown to completely lop those ears. Would be an asset type wise to a tri program. Is torted and is a aaB-C-D-eje

* SOLD * SLR's F119 Tort doe DOB Aug 25/19 Brood no DQ's so could be shown but not what I consider "show" $120 Great width, mass and hindquarter on this doe. Does have a shoulder dip, longer in bone/overall then I like and needs more width to make those ears fully lop. Nice head. She would produce some nice kits if bred to a buck with a strong shoulder and a good crown. Is a bigger girl.

FOUR BIS wins!

This is a horribly late post but sometimes that's how life goes these days! We are so humbled, blessed and excited to let folks know that SLR's Annie Oakley was honoured with all 4/4 Best In Show wins at our last show at Farmfair International Edmonton. We are still in a bit of disbelief over this as it's really a dream come true for most of us bunny show people. We never would have dreamed of taking home all the top honours for a show weekend. We are so thankful to the show committee and the judges for the chance to show our bunnies and to pick Annie for these honours.

Here's some updated photos of the little doe who thought she could. We've finally had a chance to register this gal so will send in for her grand champion papers shortly.

Registered SLR's Annie Oakley - 14 legs, 5 of which are for BIS and another 2 for RIS wins.

An update!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! We have been hunkered down at home here for a bit after the last -30 - -50 cold spell we had but are now back enjoying the weather. It's been pretty quiet around here and that's partly because we haven't had internet in the house for the last year but we have a temporary connection now. We thought to post a bit of an update as we are just getting things organized to "start back up" for the new year.

The bunnies have had a long breeding break but we've nailed down a breeding list so will get that going as soon as the girls decide they are ready. We've kept back quite a few juniors from last year so have a barn full of young senior animals, we'll be parting with some of these guys after we go through them this next week so may have some show/brood stock available.

Just a reminder too that we start calving in April so I try to take a "bunny break" during April/May while we are the busiest with new calves.

We sure are blessed to have such great chore helpers and bunny cuddlers around here!

Final sales listing for 2019

We've done a lot of available bunnies listing and not much for updates here, this is the last listing for the year so after this we can introduce who we've kept back to add to the herd this winter. We've retired a lot of older brood does this year and replaced them with their babies as there's been some really promising juniors born. Here's the last of what is still available now and one's that I'm holding back for now but might be available at the Wetaskiwin show as breeding or show stock.
