They Couldn't Be Cuter....

Chocolate Chip's five lil' babies are about 2 weeks old and drop-dead-adorable.  I LOVE this age!  And I'm making a guess at 4 DOES 1 buck!  I sure hope I'm right.  They are still kind of young, though. But 4 does... that would be great!  :-)

Could anything be cuter than this!?!

All five, lined up like they are perfect posers.  They aren't.  That is the runt second from the left.  Not a peanut, just a runt and doing great!  :-)  <3

Yes, not always perfect posers.

Wiggly

The runt... you can see she's a big smaller than her sister above, and has less fur, but is doing really, really well.

The sport... my goodness, this little girls is SO adorable. Love sports!  <3

Hiding in the corner.  Camera shy!

Grumpy face. <3

Doens't he have the cutest head?

He's like me.... always closes his eyes when you take the picture. LOL

My Grooming Table!

My AWESEOME little brother Jonny made me this AWESOME grooming table for my birthday!  I had been hinting aroudn that I would love to have one, and Jonny is so amazing with woodworking, among his many skills. ;-)  The table is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  I'm using it every day, it's so handy for photo shoots and critiquing the buns.  Thank you, Jonny!!!



He built a nice little cubby to keep extra things on.

My Jr. Buck posing on it.

For other news... it is SO hot.  There is an extreme heat warning until Friday. :-(  I hope all the buns will be OK.  My three nest boxes of babies are inside the house enjoying the AC.  The other rabbits out in the barn are so hot, though!  :(  100 degrees ... poor things!  :(

Pictures from the Rabbitry

Just a bunch of pictures from the rabbitry!

Regina in her nest box.  First time mom, doin' a fabulous job!

You can see she is plucking herslef nearly bald for her babies.  There is TONS of fur in there so I took a little out to save for winter. It's so hot they don't need quite that much!

Andrew with his little pet buck he will be getting in about a week.

The rabbitry.... the fan has been going, it's so hot!

Only a few empty cages... I'm pretty full right now!

Haylie's 5 silly babies sitting on top of each other in the corner.. LOL

One of CC's five.  They crawl out in to the front of the nest box where it is cooler. 

The three moms.  From left to right: Chocolate Chip, Regina, and Dolly.

My little Mickey Junior... this boy is blossoming.

Princess looking like a Princess!

Are you taking a picture of me???

This boy.... he is out of Chocolate Chip and Vinson.  Was SO gorgoues, but is going through an ugly stage right now.  I'm just hanging on to him to see if he gets pretty.  Still looks pretty nice, but those ears are longer than I like!  Hopefully he gets beautiful.  We'll see!  A cutie, that's for sure.  :)  What do you think of him???

Little Mrs. Zahara.  Expecting her first litter in 3 weeks.  This girl is so pretty.. just wish she wasn't so flat over the topline, but...

....I LOVE her head and ears!  Ears are SO short and nicely furred, too.

Dolly's two little rolly-polly babies.

Taking a nap

4 of the 5 CC babies... so cute!

Regina's mountain of fur in the nest. LOL

Regina's three babies. Sooooo sweet.

I love this picture... the little sport baby is shaking my .. err, finger. =)  CUTE!

Regina's three babies.  Such sweetness!

Regina's three again

Regina's three... I love this photo. :)

Look at that fat belly!  Well fed little buggers, that's for sure.

Dolly's Two

*Kisses* LOL!  =)

Mickey Junior... this lil guy is so beautiful.  And yes, that's Mickey in the background.  Don't they look similiar???

Update

God is so good!  :-)  Regina went all day without having a single baby.... and I was giving up on any more.  And then last night I went out to do chores and she was pulling out TONS of fur.  Within 45 minutes she had FOUR more babies!  I was SO surprised!!!  There was one peanut, so that leaves three healthy babies - 2 banded and a sport!  Yaaaay!  Regina is doing a GREAT job.  For a first timer, she's amazing.  Babies are fat and healthy and have a very furry nest. ;-)  And... the best part, they were born ON my sweet 16th Birthday, June 28th!  LOL  I always wanted a litter on my birthday.  And my 16th, too!  Thanks Regaina, perfect timing. ;-) 

Dolly also followed suit and had two beautiful little babies this morning, one banded and one sport.  So I have three mommas with full nest boxes right now!  I have taken a lot of pictures lately and will do a picture post soon.  ;)  Thanks for your prayers!

Baby on the wire :-(

Regina had one baby on the wire about an hour ago. It was a peanut, and didn't make it very long.  She hasn't pulled ANY fur, has no after-birth, milk, or anything, is not nesting, but I really think I can still feel at least one more baby in there.  I don't know.  My palpating skills aren't that great, but it seems like it.  We'll see.  This is looking pretty bleak so far, but perhaps she will surprise me.  I will be happy with anything alive that I can foster to Dolly, who is due today or tomorrow.  Finges crossed!  Pray for Regaina that she'll be a good mommy! 

The Queen

Regina has been begging me for a nest box so she got hers early.  She is so cute.  Now she's sitting on top of it just like a queen on her castle or something... which is funny, because the name Regina actually means "Queen"... LOL.  Totally fits her.  She is on day 29 now, so hopefully (!!!) she will have some healthy little princes and princesses soon. :-)

And speaking of Princesses.... here is another photo of Princess.  She is SO beautiful, but the camera just can't seem to capture her beauty.  ;-)  These pictures do her NO justice.  I'm still trying to get a real good one of her.
