I decided to start a new blog since my other one was so old, and mainly situated around my rabbitry. Now that I'm no longer breeding, and only have 3 rabbits (2 left to rehome), I figured a new blog for my Holland Lop was in order!
Here's a bit about Kaelum:
Kaelum was born August 4th, 2011, which makes him now 8 months old. I found him at a show in November 2011. I had been wanting a Holland Lop for a while and was waiting for that show to look around and see if I could find one. I saw Kaelum in his carrier, and actually passed him a few times, knowing there were other Holland Lops for sale in the showroom. One was an adorable 8 week old broken lilac tort, and my sister was pushing me to get her. But I kept on going back to Kaelum. Finally I asked the breeder if I could look at him and I had another HL breeder give me his advice on Kael. Wish I could remember what he had said. Needless to say I ended up buying him!
As I was walking around the showroom, Megan (Shaded Night) spotted me with him and asked, "Emily, what are you doing with a Holland Lop?" :biggrin: lol. It was quite funny.
I wanted a Holland Lop for my next jumper, and Kaelum has turned out to be quite the perfect athlete! He still has lots to work on, but I think a lot of it will come with age and more training. Since he's 8 mos old, he's in that teenager stage and can be a bit of a brat at most times.
Just lately he's started to actually appreciate seeing me come into the barn to feed! He used to just stomp his feet and watch from the corner, but now he is up at the front of his cage, rattling his dish, gnawing at the door for me to open it. A very nice change from the attitude he gave me before. lol.
I still have 2 Mini Rex - a lot of you will probably remember Kailua, and then I also have Dusty as well. Dusty may just end up staying as I've never met a rabbit that did so well with kids. He lets the girls my sister babysits just torment him like crazy - check out his eyes, his ears, let them hold him. He loves it when they feed him carrots.
If I can find a new home for him, then I will let him go.
Kaelum was bred to a doe in March, and she's due April 22nd, so I'd love to get a buck out of that litter, depending on if they are show quality. I've already got a few names I'm thinking of for a little boy. Cadmus (from Harry Potter), and Kannon, and Kian (pronounced Kane).
Anyway, on to some pictures! My sister took a lot of these. She has a photography business. If your in the WA area, check her out! She is offering free sessions until the end of this month, and as you can see, she takes fabulous pictures of rabbits! Her business is called Amanda Leigh Photography and you can find her on Facebook.
Dusty - really great head shot of him!
Kaelum in his cage. We've been selling off all of our cages, except I'm keeping this 2-hole 24x30 stacker, which allows me two bunnies! Unfortunately I'm having a hard time selling my remaining two stackers and that can lead to tempting ideas for someone with a Holland Lop buck, and a breeding pair of Mini Rex. lol.
I absolutely ADORE this picture of Kaelum.
Out for some play time and had to get some noms!
Jumping picture! Been doing a lot of work on oxers and spreads so that he learns to tuck those front feet...He really just has some crazy form over his jumps.
This was his first time tackling a long jump - 13 inches - and he acted like it was the easiest thing ever! I can't wait to see how far he get jumping!
This is the first jump I built. I have a 2nd jump in the works right now. Love this picture because Kaelum's actually tucking! lol.
My sister is getting more pictures up, and I'll attempt to get some pictures this evening when I take the bunnies out for playtime, so I'll have another update soon!
