Litters coming up

We have 2 Champagne litters, 4 Jersey wooly litters(one doe is sold, so will be 3 litters) due this next week. All the does need to get boxes put in tomorrow. I've already put one Champagne box in as the doe has been nesting for the past week. And I will put in the other boxes today or tomorrow.

I am looking forward to these litters.

Secret Weapon has 2 babies- a Siamese Smoke pearl looks to be a doe, and a Siamese Sable also looks to be a doe.

Panache has 2 dark smoke pearls or blues ( I think blues) by Hero.

Mara, Maggie, and Ms Sierra are all due this week.

The 5 babies of Fantasy X Cowboy are 4 bucks and 1 doe. Blue torts, Smoke pearl and Blue points.

The one baby from Cowboy X Foxy Lady is a Sable point buck- SO CUTE!

I think we may work on pictures today. We also are hoping to get the pet site finished this weekend. Tomorrow we do a shipment of 6 Jersey woolies to Ontario. On Tuesday 5 Jerseys go to Alberta, and then throughout the next couple of weeks a bunch more will go. That will be nice for cage space. We have 72 Mini lop holes and 52 we are keeping so far(not including the youngest litters) so we will need as many empty holes as we can get!

We decided how to work out our holes:
72 Mini lop holes. The mini lops are a really fun breed that we both enjoy, and they are our main breed. 4 holes for the Champagnes, and 4 holes for Red Satins as we have a huge demand for meat for the pet food industry, so we NEVER have a problem selling our culls. 8 holes for the Jersey woolies.

There are some breeds we would never try again, and we are offically finished with cavies for life(sorry cavy breeders) just not for us. (we haven't had cavies since last fall. I've tried them 4 different times in the past 8 years, but I just enjoy the rabbits that much more.

Well I should go and get my butt in gear... We are having a very lazy morning. Our mom is sick and usually we hear her early in the morning working around the house, but with being sick she didn't get up early so we both slept in, and then we've been getting caught up on e-mails etc. Now, I must go get some work done!
