April: Baby Month!

It's going to be a baby month this month!  Three does bred, I'm so excited.

Haylie is due any time now... probably tomorrow or Saturday.  She's huge.  I'm really thrilled for this litter - my first Mickey/Haylie cross - the last litter from these two didn't make it.  :(  Hopefully all goes well this time.

How many babies do you think are in there???  =)




And Chocolate Chip, due the end of this month.  AND... I just got Dolly bred today!  ...to MICKEY!  I've been looking forward to this cross since Mickey was a tiny tike, so this is REALLY exciting for me.  I am hoping for some gorgeous babies, this is a mother/son cross.  We'll see! 


I've been using pine shavings instead of straw for bedding in the pans lately, and it is working much nicer.  Smells better and looks fresher.  ;)







Just a cute photo of Regina:


I am SO looking forward to breeding her next month.  Time flies, she's grown up!


I've been working on doing a spring cleaning, day by day.  I got some cages scrubbed a couple days ago and need to work on the rest today.  There's nothing like shiny cages.  :)

I'm hoping to be posting pictures of new babies soon! ...fingers crossed.

That's cool that you raise rabbits! =) How long have you been doing this? We are thinking about getting two rabbits this year, but we're not sure yet.

Well, I just recently came across your blog and decided to leave you a comment, since it's fun to meet new people through blogs :)

In Christ,

Thanks for replying to my comment, Emily! =) Do others in your family raise rabbits too, or are you the main one doing it? Sounds like a lot of fun! I used to have two gerbils...but that's all the pets we've ever had =)

Thank you for the kind comment about my blog...I'll be sure to stop by yours when I have some time =)


Blessings!

No problem! :) Nope, I'm the only crazy person in the family... LOL. Just kidding, I love it. :) The rest of the fam all has there things they do, too. ;) I've never seen gerbils, but I bet they are fun too... I'm sure you would love rabbits. :) Feel free to email me, too, if you have any questions about them!
God bless!

We were thinking about getting some rabbits, but I'm not sure if we'll actually do it. We have so much wildlife around here (we would keep it in it's cage :P), that getting any kind of animals, or having a garden would be very difficult.

Thanks for the offer for e-mailing you! I'll keep that in mind =)

Blessings, to you!
