For Sale Animals

Spring has sprung here on the ranch! We ask you to kindly be patient when contacting us this time of the year as we are just starting to calve and that involves 24/7 work out in the calving field. Things will really get busy for us come mid April to the beginning of June. I'll try to stay on top of e-mails during this time but if I don't get back to you right away this is why! Thanks for the understanding!

We're trying to sell off the Hollands we have here that keep giving us otters as we don't have room for another color project! So here's some that are available and we'll also have a brood/show quality broken black otter Jr doe and a show/brood quality black otter junior buck born Feb 28/17 out of Registered SLR's Oreo and SLR's Kavana. We also may add Registered SLR's Jesse James 2 Sr legs to this list as well as I'm wondering if he's not a broken tort otter as well - he won't be listed till fall at the earliest though as I want to test breed him and see what genes he has.

* SOLD * SLR's Kavana a tort otter doe out of GC Reg. Campo's Fire N' Ice x SLR's Lonesome Dove - DOB Mar 4/16. Kavana was bred to a broken black buck with zero otter behind him and produced two black otter kits so I know for a fact she'll produce otter. This is a doe that I really like and wish she could stay around but can not keep the color so she's up for sale. She is just a year old, proven brood doe and has been shown(judges were suspicious she was a tort otter but she wasn't DQ'd for it). If you are looking to produce otters and have a self buck then this gal is the one for you. She was a great mom and even fostered a kit with no issues plus is a very curious outgoing and friendly doe. -$80.00 as brood

* SOLD * SLR's Jersey - Broken orange out of SLR's Chambler(blk/org tri) and Cutie Patootie T'fer Tigger(blk/org harli) DOB June 25 2014

Jersey has been a wonderful brood doe much like her mother but better. She's a great doe to foster kits too and has her babies tucked into the nest all by herself. She is a smutty orange and has produced colors like blk/org tri & harli and oranges. Colors in background include blk/org tri & harli, blue/fawn harli, orange, blue otter, chestnut, chin and black steel. She's very much a doe in type and lacks thick bone and overall substance. Her crown is slipped & ears could be opened up. Cute little doe head and a wonderful personality. We're keeping a daughter and a son out of her so it's time for her to move on and give someone else some cute little babies.

*** I have always thought this doe was a broken orange however I am now thinking that she is actually a tort otter. I don't have a self buck to breed her to, to test that theory out though. I've also tried to breed her a couple times this spring and she has not been interested nor has she gotten bred either of those times. I would suspect this would be more of a mood thing but I can not guarantee that she'll produce kits anymore.

Brood or pet $40.00

Spring & a for sale bunny

Spring has sprung here on the ranch! We ask you to kindly be patient when contacting us this time of the year as we are just starting to calve and that involves 24/7 work out in the calving field.

We have this little dude for sale who just didn't want to take the normal posed Holland photo so here he is in a non traditional way! He sure is a cutie and very well mannered(he's a calm laid back guy so far!). He'll be available to a pet home for $60.00 as I think he would rather laze around a house then head out to a bunch of rabbit shows! He should mature to the 3.5 pound mark and is a tort otter which is a non showable color. Dad is Registered SLR's Jesse James and mom is SLR's Lonesome Dove. DOB Feb 5/17 He just needs a tattoo and to be weaned from mom(tomorrows the big day!), then he can head to his new home!

Send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry @ Hotmail.com (remove spaces) if you are interested in this little dude.

* SOLD * SLR's F37

Breedings

As some of you know, we've had a HUGE new addition to the SLR family and that new addition is a day short of being 6 months old! We had a little boy in the summertime and that has kept up hopping for the last half a year so we haven't done too much with the bunnies. We are planning on heading to the Wetaskiwin show at the end of the month and also have bred a few gals. We'll be breeding a few more does over the next few days as well - whoever we don't plan on showing in Wetaskiwin.

Here's who is expecting little ones:

UPDATED March 17 2017

Reg. SLR's Jesse James(2 legs) x SLR's Lonesome Dove - Due Feb 5/17 expecting black & orange tris and harlis, oranges and broken oranges as well

Positive palpation

Kindled Sunday Feb 5/17 Dove had five babies total, one of which was born dead, and one that died a short time after birth but she's still got 3 fat healthy happy bunnies in the box. One broken orange buck and two tort otter bucks. Both tort otter bucks will be FOR SALE once they are weaned from mom at 8 weeks and eating solids fine. E-mail me if you may be interested in one of these little ones starlitrabbitry @ Hotmail.com (Remove spaces)

 Reg. SLR's Oreo x SLR's Kavana - Due Feb 28/17 I'm not sure what to expect color wise from this cross(I think Kavana is a tort otter so am trying to prove that theory by breeding her to a self) We'll see if she has some otter babies!
Positive pregnancy Kindled Feb 28 - Five total with two broken black otters born DOA(1 was a peanut) and we lost a black otter kit a day after so she's got one black otter and one broken black otter. Kavana's also fostering the harli kit from Summer.
All the otters will be FOR SALE once they are weaned as we do not have room to have an otter color program! 1 solid black otter buck and 1 broken black otter doe

SLR's Huckleberry Finn x GC Reg. SLR's Summer Breeze - Due Mar 1/17 Expecting black and orange tris and harlis.

Positive pregnancy

Reg. SLR's Jesse James x SLR's Olivia Due April 15/17 - Not too sure what to expect out of this cross. It SHOULD be blacks and oranges however I'm a little suspicious that James may actually be a tort otter so we might get some otters in this litter. I'm SO glad we got Olivia back and can do this test breeding as she has zero otter behind her!

SLR's Rabbits

We've officially moved the bunnies inside for the winter after our nice extended fall(minus the snow!). We've worked hard to have an outside set of cages, and an inside set of cages for each bunny plus a couple big outside runs and an inside playpen. I'm a bit of a clean freak so I like the cages and the barn clean enough to eat off of and having two sets of cages helps us maintain the high level of cleanliness for the bunnies. Since they are inside now we'll be leaving the lights on for longer periods of time so that we can get some of the does bred to kindle in January.

Here's the bunnies that we currently have:

SLR's Bucks

SLR's Aiden - Black & orange harlequin buck

GC Reg. Campo's Fire N' Ice - Black & orange tri buck

Reg. SLR's Tort - Black tort buck - 1 Leg

Fall Update

This is titled "Fall" however one peak outside and it should be called winter! We do live in northern Alberta and it's been white at home now for a good few weeks. There's currently over a foot of snow outside already so our fall I'm sure, is long gone! The bunnies are enjoying the last of their outside time before they all get moved into the barn for the winter. This doesn't mean that they won't get outside at all over the winter but on nice days we'll still be able to kick them out into the large covered run that doesn't get snow filled.

All the inside cages, dishes, bowls, toys, matts, etc. have been pressure washed so the bunnies have a nice clean place to live. We'll also be breeding most of the gals here so that we should have some babies available in January 2017. We have one brood or pet doe still looking for a new home - SLR's Jersey(info on her is located in two posts below this one) but otherwise we are sold out until next year.

We will post some updates on some bunnies here and the barn once everyone finishes shedding their summer coats and are moved into the barn for the winter. Until then we hope that you enjoy the beautiful "fall" weather!

For Sale Buck

* SOLD * SLR's F34 Black and orange harlequin buck out of Reg. SLR's Tort 1 leg(blk tort) and Cutie Patootie T'fer Tigger(blk/org harli). DOB April 11 2016
This little guys lookin for a new home for winter time! He's an adorable little buck with a great personality to match. He's been handled lots by kids and adults so would make a good pet but he has nice enough type to also make a good brood buck. Good head, ears and crown with good bone, a good shoulder although a slight dip is present and a good midsection. He is a little pinched in the hindquarters and his color could be a bit cleaner. Brood $60 or pet $50(no papers)
