Free to a good home

This little boy needs a new home. He's only 14 weeks old, and exceptionally docile and good natured, but I can't afford to keep him as he isn't up to breeding standard. Free with a week's worth of food and rabbit care information sheets.

Here are a few photos I took the other day of Joseph and Caleb playing with our newest rabbit. He is the only rabbit we kept from the last 2 litters, but I'm very pleased with how he's turning out. He's part of my Silky Lop development project and judging from him the overall progress has been excellent. I'm really excited about the progress and I hope to do a blog post about the whole project when I have more time and photos.

For now, photos alone will have to suffice:

The 'marbled' effect of the colours on his coat comes as a result of his coat growing back in patches after being shorn (I shaved his coat off a couple of weeks ago to keep him more comfortable in the summer weather and to make his long, soft coat more manageable and matt-free.) I think the marbling effect looks quite nice, but it is inclined to look a little untidy at times.

Relatives

Hey there! This is Emma posting again! =) So on Sunday night our Cousins family and wifes sister arrived here to stay till Thursday morning! So this will be about them and what we did with them! We had a great time! Their two kids, Mia (3) and Timmy (4) were SO cute, so we enjoyed playing with them!

Well! Thats what we've been up to! I hope you're all having great holidays!

Rabbit photos

So I finally got around to posting those photos I mentioned a while ago. Unfortunately not many turned out well, so I only have 3 to show you. Anyway, 3 is better than nothing, and nothing is what I've done on here over the past 2 weeks.

The first 2 photos are from Coffee's litter. Last time I posted photos of rabbits they were from Toffee's litter. As you might imagine, Toffee & Coffee are twin sisters, so you'll find these kittens look very similar to Toffee's kittens. Of the Coffee's 4 kittens, only 2 behaved for the camera, so as well as the ones you see there is also a nice Blue kitten as well as an amazing Lynx. As rabbits tend to do, the nicest ones wouldn't behave for the camera. Anyway, these 2 don't have names yet, so if you can come up with anything that you think suits them, let me know! ;)

This one is from Toffee's litter. If I remember correctly, her name was Patricia (?) - I get so confused when I'm not always the one naming them... As you can see, the coat has grown very long, almost like an angora at the same age. All of Toffee's and Coffee's kittens have the exact same coat, because both parents had a long coat. At this age there is more hair than rabbit and you wouldn't believe how small the rabbit actually is under all that fluff. Fortunately for her, she lost most of this hair in her first moult, otherwise she would be a tad uncomfortable in this heat!

Anyway, that's all I've got for today. Happy weekend!

Spring has come...

 ...and brought with it the new life and fresh energy that makes it my favourite season. Here are a couple of photos I took today. 

These first 4 are photos of an ornamental cherry tree we have that has just begun to blossom. As usual, my photography is, at best, poor, but these photos were the best that I could do in a strong wind with a camera that had no manual focus (not that I would have been capable of using a camera that had). Ever tried photographing closeups of blossoms in the wind? Take my word for it when I tell you it's not easy...

Tristan aka Eloise again. This is my favourite of the litter. I know it doesn't seem right, but I just can't help having favourites!

 Tristan again. He's THAT special.
