So just an update on gunner he is back at my parents house. No longer receiving critical care or syringe feedings. He has some balance issues but not much and can run around like his old self although i tried not to let him get too crazy. Mom is observing his eating habits but he was eating and drinking out of a bowl by himself. Poo and pee was normal. Im so happy and maybe I might even be able to breed him. Ill ask doc when i call tomorrow

I haven't really been on here or on facebook much lately, so I'm a little behind. But I'm glad he's doing well. I know he is very special to you.
 
Thank you everyone for your support! You guys have been awesome at lifting my spirits! It was definitely a relief and he is super special kelly even if he got no placed at nationals lol :)

I promise to get updated pictures of my babies soon :) I sexed the blues and I am seeing two boys lol oh well I cant wait to start breeding for show season
 
Got some pics as promised. I went out to take pics of my blue babies but caught them nursing instead LOL older ones are in order of Sal Toni and Ava. They will be going to their first show next weekend I'm super excited for them :) sal is the choco buck he is so curious about everything. Toni is the black and Ava is the choco doe

The line across the face is very pronounced. Is that normal or will it grow out?
 
Totally normal. The nose color is the closest to what the adult color will look like. These babies when in coat will be pretty dark. Their tan color is alright now but it should get even darker as they molt out those baby coats. Even the black has a pronounced line lol. These guys are only just turned 8weeks old. Their prime will probably be at 10-12 weeks. There's this show next weekend and then another in August I just hope they don't go in and out of coat between these two shows lol
 
Ahh ok, cool :) I think I read once that there's a lot of competition where you are so the age for showing is really young, compared to other places that may not have so many tans and you could have much older competitive tans, is that right? In any case, they are absolutely gorgeous, I just love the chocolate ones. *steals*
 
Eeeeek I love the pictures!!! These are out of Sinatra/Dana right?

Gotta love chocolates their molt lines. I'm hoping one day Tahoe will decide to not be a "multi-hued" rabbit, but I think he likes the contrast of dark brown against a lighter brown on his fur.
 
Wow, if nose color says what their adult colors will be, then they're going to be dark! And I LOVE THEM!
I love the pictures of all of them. They're all so cute. If I ever get another rabbit...I'm coming to Texas.

Is Gunner still improving? I hope so.
 
Azerane: well there used to be a lot of competition in my area but everyone sold out now. Tans are a junior breed though anyways which means that they have some ugly stages in the beginning but once they hit that 3-5 month mark they can easily beat a senior for best of breed. After they hit senior age you are supposed to retire and breed them. I love the chocos too but the blues have me smitten

Elizabeth yes these are the babies :) lol at Tahoe!! That old man is so indecisive

Elise thank you :) yea that's my baby girl Ava that I get to keep

Morgan: I know!!! I can't wait for them to molt out! Haha just let me know what color you want when you come LOL! And yes gunner is amazing! Doc said ill be able to breed him in about a month :) I'm so happy he pulled through :D

I got some more pics today of the blues and momma Dana :) she is such a sweet girl

THe more I see your tans, the more I love this breed. They are so beautiful and the way they stand and look, well I just love them. Good to hear Gunner is improving and the babies are adorable.
 
Thank you :) It will be toni, sal, and avas first show this weekend and we leave on friday. I will have to clear out space to take pics with my phone but its sounding like we will have a really good turnout for tans which im super excited about! I was thinking about buying something for the bob and bos but im not sure what. I might make a thread about it asking. I also just bred serena with chevy and she will be due around the 4th of july :D I am actually super excited about this pairing because they are both awesome parents that create really nice babies. Ill attach pics of them below just because I hate making a post without pics lol :D

Annnddd if beyonce is preggo she should be due next week. I tried palpating but couldn't feel much so I am not too excited. After this I am not sure if i should try again or not. . .I already tried the acv trick and was giving it to her for two weeks once daily spritzing it on some oats. I bred her to seawolf again (this is the second time) without her catching. Any ideas or things to try differently? It wasn't too hot when I bred him so he shouldn't have been sterile. Im kind of at the point of questioning retiring her or finding a pet home for her.

I'm assuming that's the buck Chevy in the bottom photo from your last post? How old is he?
 
Thank you :) Elizabeth I am so excited I can't sleep the babies first show is tomorrow Ill take videos and pics of the show!

Yes thats him the black is Serena and Choco is my man Chevy(gunners dad). He was born in April of 09 so just turned four :D that pic is when he was younger and out of coat lol so far for about a year now he has been in a gorgeous chocolate coat without molting again. Sure took long enough lol

SOON.
 
Yay the babies have officially been to their first show and they did great! Everyone ran like they were supposed to and the babies got good comments. My moms polish also did good :) JS1 got amazing comments also. I got some random pictures of a blue baby, some adorable up and coming polish babies, polish being judged by mikey franke, and the winning pictures. Antonio came out on top in the Tan shows on saturday and won BOB for both shows. Mikey judged show A and Maddie Pratt judged Show B. BOSB went to one of my blues that I sold to a youth member during nationals! I was so excited for her and her blue :D It was sierra that took it and she is growing up so nicely! For the polish my mom had one other breeder there for friday night and JS1 took BOB. Her broken buck took BOSB. For the shows on saturday JS1 didnt have the maturity to beat the seniors but the judges really like her! Alright heres some pictures :)
