Available Seniors

 First off, I apologize for the photos, my camera took a tumble and on occasion doesn't want to work. These are off my phone so I can grab some more/videos if interested. Please keep in mind that we are hitting our busiest time of year here as we approach calving season so it may take a day or two for me to respond to an e-mail. 

These are the seniors that we're parting with on this round of reductions, there may be more to come but it'll be a few weeks. If you are interested in any of these guys then please send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry @ hotmail.com (remove spaces). Rabbits will only be held for longer then 7 days if they are fully paid for. Transport is the responsibility of the buyer from Grande Prairie AB (This is already an hours drive for us to get to the city from the ranch). 

* SOLD * SLR's F82 Broken Black doe DOB September 25 2018 Decent brood doe, wonderful momma and very sweet, calm, laid back and friendly personality. One of the kids favorite bunnies in the barn. She is from the tri program but does not carry the tri gene so could go into any program. Just off a litter. $80 brood or $40 pet

* SOLD * SLR's Blake Black doe DOB August 5 2017 If we weren't parting with all our blacks, this gal wouldn't be going anywhere. She's an older doe and doesn't look like much but she clicks so well with the bucks here and always out produces herself. She is a tri carrier so should go into a tri program as she will only ever produce full extension animals(blacks/black otters) or tris/harlis depending on what she's paired with. If paired with a tort she genetically can not produce a tort but it will always be a harlequin/tri however probably lightly marked. She should have a few more litters in her but if she stays here, she can have a retirement home. Sweet doe who's easy to get along with and one of the best mommas, another of the kids favorites. $100 brood, $40 pet. 

* SOLD * SLR's F140 Torted Black/orange tri doe DOB June 9 2020 I didn't grab some photos of this girl but hopefully can tomorrow. She's just off a litter and sure out produced herself. Is torted and lightly marked. Good mom, friendly, curious outgoing doe. $90 brood or $40 pet

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. 

DOB Jan 22/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F82(broken black) has 4, 2 tort does, 1 black buck and one broken black doe(may be holding her back to replace her mom). 

DOB Jan 22/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F103(Chestnut) has 3, 2 torts, 1 buck and 1 doe and one black doe. 

DOB Jan 25/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F100(torted tri doe) has one torted black/orange tri doe(she'll be held back for now). 

DOB Feb 3/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd x SLR's F94(tort doe) has two tort bucks who will be grown out for a bit here before possibly being available. 

DOB Feb 10/21 SLR's F88(tort black and orange harlequin buck) x SLR's F138(broken chestnut) has 5, 1 black buck, 1 broken black doe, 1 broken chestnut doe(will be held back for a bit), 1 black and orange harlequin doe(will be held back for a bit) and 1 black/orange tri buck(will be held back). 

DOB Feb 13/21 Grand Champion LLL James(broken black)  x SLR's F105(black/orange harlequin) has 3, 1 torted black/orange harlequin buck, 1 clean orange doe and 1 clean black/orange tri buck- This whole litter will be held back for awhile. 

DOB March 3/21 Grand Champion LLL James x SLR's F107(black/orange harlequin) has 1 harlequinized chesnut. 

DOB March 3/21 Grand Champion LLL James x SLR's Honeybee(torted black/orange harlequin) has 1 black.

DOB March 3/21 Grand Champion SLR's Sundance Kidd x Nolands BMG2(broken tort) has 1 broken tort. 

DOB March 5/21 Grand Champion LLL James x SLR's F110(torted black/orange harlequin) has 1 broken black. 

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.

New Litters

 Most of the girls have had a good breeding break over the summer so we'll be breeding quite a few of them over the next bit. We're still trying to get back to genetically correct tri colors and breed out the otter gene that is in them so we can stop producing so many foxes and improve the orange color. It's been a couple years already but I think we are almost there if we can just roll the dice right and end up with some tris now! We'll part with some brood does after we get some litters on the ground so should have some does available in January or so. 

We have a couple cute litters right now that are just over a month old. 

Grand Champion Registered SLR's Sundance Kidd x VIB2 has three tort does in the box. We were hoping for a nice tort doe from this cross to replace the dam with. This is a repeat cross as it produced Grand Champion Registered SLR's Billy The Kidd who had 9 legs by about 7 months of age. 

Grand Champion Registered LLL James x Grand Champion Registered SLR's Annie Oakley has a broken tort doe and a black doe in the box. Annie's our little 5 times Best In Show Winner and 2 times Reserve In Show winner and we were hoping for a broken tort out of this cross so we can have some brokens on the table. Outcross so we'll see how this gamble paid off in a few months. 

That's pretty much all that's new for now, just getting the bunnies ready to be moved into the heated barn for the winter. The cages are almost all pressure washed, barns clean, bunnies are dewormed so we're just waiting for the temps to drop so they have to be inside as they seem so happy outside. That's our update for now, hope all is well with everyone!

The last available bunnies for awhile!

We took some photos tonight of the three bunnies that we have weaned and are offering for sale. There's a few more litters coming up here but this might be all we have until next spring since this year has been so busy and we have some major projects lined up for summer/fall. We're almost done calving and have had a wonderful season despite working on a skeleton crew.

Here's the bunnies available, all are being offered as pet although the one harlequin buck could be a brood buck too.

* SOLD * SLR's F133 Black tort doe out of Grand Champion Clear Sky's Marley and Knoland's BMG2 $60 as pet DOB April 16/2020

* SOLD * SLR's F134 Torted black and orange harlequin buck out of SLR's F88 and SLR's Honeybee $60 as pet DOB April 20/2020

SLR's F135 Torted black and orange harlequin buck out of SLR's F88 and SLR's Honeybee $60 as pet April 20/2020 This dude is a busy guy and would work well in an active home that has some previous bunny experience.

An update here

Please keep in mind that we are calving cows at the moment so my reply time to inquiries may be quite delayed(a day or more). 

Some folks are asking why there is such a price difference between a pet and brood or show stock. Long answer short, we want to make the animals going to pet homes available at a reasonable cost so that even pet owners can have animals that are healthy, tattooed, dewormed, etc so we greatly discount the price that we ask for those heading to be a pet. Generally speaking young pets go for $60, brood quality starts at $80 & goes up from there and show stuff starts at $100 and goes up from there. We try to invest in quality stock for our breeding program and sell our home raised animals at a huge price reduction compared to what we pay for most animals. 

We had some time on this rainy day full of rescheduled plans to do a blog update. We've seen lots of bunnies head to their new homes and only have a few left that mostly have someone interested in them. Thank you to all who have given one of our bunnies a new home. 

* SOLD * Out of GC Clear Sky's Marley and SLR's F94(2 legs for BOS) is this little dude who was born on Feb 24 2020. We kept him back as he's looking promising for show but we just don't need another tort buck with 3 GC tort bucks here already. He's still promising and might make a good show buck, he does need some more crown development which will hopefully come with age. These photos are from a little over a month ago now so are outdated. $60 for pet or $120 for show/brood

Out of GC SLR's Sundance Kidd and SLR's F103 also born March 10/2020

* SOLD * SLR's F128 - Black buck Show/brood at this point. He's a very nice upright buck who likes to show himself off. We were thinking of possibly holding this guy back but we're going to keep our senior black buck instead so this guys available to a new home. $60 for pet or $120 for brood. 

SLR's F112 Torted lightly marked black and orange harlequin DOB Aug 1/19 Show(if the color was showable)  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 $150 for brood or $40 for pet 

SLR's F82 DOB Sept 25 2018 a proven broken black brood doe. She's a longer overall doe and needs to be paired with an upright short buck with good mass. Good mom, hasn't been bred in a year. $80 for brood or $40 for pet

* No photo currently available * I thought I had a previous photo of this gal but it's of her sister. She's currently in a molt so will take a new photo once she's got some coat back.

We have two litters right now that will be weaned mid June and some of those babies possibly available. We won't know on these little ones until then though. 

Knoland's BMG2's litter is a tort doe and 2 broken tort does
SLR's HoneyBee's litter is 2 black and orange harlequin bucks

More Juniors and for sale bunnies

Please keep in mind that we are right in the middle of calving season so my reply time may be quite delayed. 

We did get some photos done of some of the juniors we have here. I'm hoping to post our last litter later today in this blog post as well.

Out of GC Clear Sky's Marley and SLR's Blake born March 10/2020

* SOLD * SLR's F124 - Black buck who didn't get his photos done today, he's looking for a pet home for $60.00

* SOLD * SLR's F125 - Black buck who is looking to be show/brood quality at this moment and is my pick of the litter today. 

* SOLD * SLR's F126 - Black buck who is looking to be brood/show quality at this point but all these guys have a lot of growing to do. Can head to a new home since we have so many black bucks and we only have room for one in our program. $60 for pet or $80 for brood

* SOLD * SLR's F127 - Torted lightly marked black and orange harlequin doe. This gal looks like a high rufus tort but genetically has to be a torted harlequin(she'd be an aa-B-C-D-eje). She's looking like a brood doe at this point who we are going to let go as she doesn't have the mass and short bone that we are breeding for. She is a nice upright doe and does have good width of body. Her crown is tight at the moment and her ears don't lop even though her parents both have good crowns, I can not guarantee that her ears will lop with age. $60 for pet or $80 for brood.

. 

* PENDING SALE * Out of GC SLR's Sundance Kidd and SLR's F103 also born March 10/2020

SLR's F128 - Black buck

* SOLD * SLR's F129 - Tort buck who is looking for a new home. We might regret letting this guy go but he is a tort out of a tri program so if we kept him back we'd only use him in our tri program anyways. He might turn out to be a bigger buck(4-5 pound range) but has amazing mass and bone at this point. $60 as a pet or $100 as brood

* SOLD * SLR's F130 - Tort doe, we're going to part with this gal as well. She's a typey little brood doe with really good width of body and a nice natural upright body but she does currently have a tighter crown making those ears not lop yet. They may lop with age but I can not guarantee that they will. She is out of half of our tri program and half of our tort program so does have a tri background although should not carry that ej gene. $80 for brood or $60 for pet

We did have a moment to sex our three other litters in the boxes so here's the results

SLR's F100's litter is a tort doe and 3 broken tort does
Knoland's BMG2's litter is a tort doe and 2 broken tort does
SLR's HoneyBee's litter is 2 black and orange harlequin bucks

We have some older bunnies that are also looking for new homes:

* SOLD * SLR's Huckleberry Finn. I dearly love this guy and he's been around here producing some nice bunnies for awhile. He's looking for a nice retirement home to cuddle up with someone. Finn's baby photos and his senior photos. Loveable guy who's a favorite here.

* SOLD * 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 for brood or $40 for pet 

SLR's F112 Torted lightly marked black and orange harlequin DOB Aug 1/19 Show(if the color was showable)  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 $150 for brood or $40 for pet 

SLR's F82 DOB Sept 25 2018 a proven broken black brood doe. She's a longer overall doe and needs to be paired with an upright short buck with good mass. Good mom, hasn't been bred in a year but is currently bred. Inquire if interested and we can chat about the litter. $80 for brood or $40 for pet

* No photo currently available * I thought I had a previous photo of this gal but it's of her sister. She's currently in a molt so will take a new photo once she's got some coat back. 

That's it for now, if one of these bunnies strikes your interest then please send me an e-mail at starlitrabbitry @ hotmail.com (remove spaces). Please keep in mind that my reply time may be delayed. 

Juniors

Please bear in mind that we are in the middle of calving season here on the ranch so my reply time to inquiries may be very delayed.

Here's some photos of the litter out of GC Clear Sky's Marley and SLR's F94 - 2 legs. These guys are just tiny yet and I keep thinking the should be older then they are but they were born Feb 24 2020 so just turned 8 weeks on Monday. We thought to share some of them as we got this litter tattooed and partially evaluated today. We're not sure who will be going or staying right now so none of these guys below are being posted for sale at this exact moment. Without further adieu, here's the oldest juniors here minus one tort doe that the kids were busy packing around.

* SOLD * SLR's F120 Tort buck

* SOLD * SLR's F121 Tort buck, no photo available at this moment

* SOLD * SLR's F122 Tort doe

* SOLD * SLR's F123 Tort doe
