New babies born this morning!

SLR's AnnaPrimRose - 2 legs kindled a litter of 5 babies earlier this morning. One big black kit was born DOA(dead on arrival), she's got two black peanuts, one healthy black bunny and one healthy harlequin colored bunny. We are super excited for this gals first litter and they are out of SLR's Thumper - 2 legs. Attached are some photos of proud mom & dad!

An available doe

Now is around the time we start going through our herd and deciding what we would like to keep around over the winter time. We also generally make two cuts when evaluating animals for their potential for show or breeding stock, one is that they look promising for one or the other so they get some more time to grow up and the other is after they are more mature for who gets included into the breeding program. That being said this little gal didn't make the second cut so she's looking for a new home. She's just not exactly what we are aiming for in our program so it's time for her to find a new person to love her.

Olivia's her name and she's a pretty affectionate doe but is a little on the shy side which is fairly typical of the gals. She was born on March 14/14 out of SLR's Thumper and SLR's Dream. If you think you may have the right home for this litter gal feel free to send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry@hotmail.com

Available Bunnies

Our eldest litter here is a little over five weeks old and the other about three weeks. This means that some of these cutie will be available within a few weeks once they are weaned from Mom, tattooed and dewormed. Watch here for updates on when they will be looking for new homes!

Cutie Patootie T'fer Tigger

This is the new doe we picked up from Karleigh Friesen of Willow Hill Rabbitry - a big thanks to her for passing this little cutie on! Tigger's a black/orange harlequin out of almost solid campo lines and she's already been put into production kindling a litter of five out of SLR's Chambler. We were able to get some photos of her yesterday but she does look a little bit funny because of how much hair she plucked on her chest for her nest! Anyways she's a little cutie and we're excited to see how she'll cross with our lines!

More New Babies Born

We are excited to announce another litter that was born here on June 25 2014 out of SLR's Chambler and an outcross doe Cutie Patootie T'fer Tigger. She had five bunnies two of which were peanuts but the remaining three are doing wonderfully. She has a black/orange harlequin, a clean broken orange and a smutty broken orange. We'll post some photos of the mom, and some new ones of Chamber as soon as I am able to get out and take some photos.

We've also sexed our other litter of out SLR's Chambler and SLR's Dream - there's one black/orange tri buck, two black/orange charlie bucks, one charlie orange doe and one black/orange charlie doe. They are at that cute stage right now and are a hit with the neices and nephews.

We've also kept back this little harli buck from the litter out of SLR's Thumper and SLR's Dream and have decided to name him SLR's Cosmo. This guy is the pick of the litter type wise being just wide & solid with an adorable head/ear/crown piece. He may end up around the 4lb mark but we'll see when he's grown up! He is a VERY cute and sweet guy!

SLR's Dexter

This little cutie is the last buck to post out of our oldest upcoming litter. We're going to keep him back and show him this year to see how he does. He is a little guy right now so has some serious growing up to do before he'll compete with the big boys! He is on the light & long side for his bone but his overall type is good paired with a cute little apple head.

The Black & Orange Harlequin JR bucks!

Here are photos of the two harlequin bucks in the litter. Both are fairly similar type wise and both I'm sure will mature to that 3.5 - 4lb mark. The first buck on here has nice clean bright orange and the second one is not as bright and clean color wise. Both are pretty upright bucks with good crowns and pretty little heads for their age.

Four down and just the last tri buck to post photos of!
