Just a small query.

[Kez-bunniemom]

Hey I'm new so will write a little about myself.
I have 3 fully grown dwarf lop rabbits- Honey (The mom) Bob (Dad) and Cadbury (Daughter). I live in Scotland, St andrews to be precise and my rabbits live outside in my heated summerhouse. I also breed birds: Canarys, Budgie, Finches and Java sparrows.
I am relatively new to breeding rabbits but have had 4 successful litters over the past year and a half.
I breed mainly for pleasure- i just love looking after the bunnies and my local pet shop buys from me so rehoming is not a problem. (I have considered this pet shop very hard and have noticed that they are exeptional at vetting potential customers)

The dad- Bob- is a beautiful black and white spotted lop and his 'wife' Honey is a grey but with a fawn pedigree background.
The two of them produce adorable mixtures of fawn spotted, grey spotted and black spotted with the odd solid grey and black.

Anyway, i could talk about them all for ages but will get to the point:
I would love to start breeding from more than just Honey but the only other female i have is Cadbury who is Bob's daughter. Will the fact that Bob is her dad interfere with future bunnie genetics? I have read horror storys of mutations becuase of family inbreeding and would like to hear what other have to say on the subject.

Thanks

This thread in the Forum Information section will help you:HowTo Post Photos and Avatars

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Ahh, i see. Thanks I will go and investigate right now.

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Ok, my avatar works now It's a little streched but you get the idea. This is one of my bunnies from my last litter. A beautiful silvery grey spotted lop.

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Yet another test. The tinypic didn't work for me, hopefully photobucket will.

I wonder why it doesn't, i put the img code thingy in the box but it doesn't show the picture

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Hi! Thanks for the great welcome!
I think i will give up on the attaching of photos, i can just show them on my avatar if i need too.

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Well,i'll leave it at that for tonight.
(I live in Scotland where it is 9:01pm. Is this an international forum?)

I apologise for the slight spamming with all the 'tests' and things, i promise i don't do that all the time My avatar is still Cocoa the bunnie but from a different angle, she was being so good during the photo shoot we took loads.
I name all of my bunnies, it's fun.
So far they are:
Rolo
Cadbury
Fudge
Toffee
Jelly
Bob jr
Galaxy
Dime
Chocolate
Marshmallow
Licorice
Mocha
Cocoa
Twix and cookie.

They all went to new homes except Cadbury. I've only had two deaths,Galaxy died at her new home :sosad. She had a problem with her digestive system.
Poor fudgie died of heatstroke when his new owners left him beside a radiator on full power then went out for the day :growl: I was so angry at them i could have wrung their evil neglecting necks. Well anyway,thank you all for being so hospitible and thanks for the links,they were really helpful.

Yet another test

 

[naturestee]

I'm guessing this is a picture test? Could you make your picture smaller?  It's taking forever to load, and this computer usually isn't that slow.  You might be able to resize it on your computer.  I usually take mine down to 500x500 pixels or smaller.  Or you can load them up on tinypic.com or photobucket and let them resize it for you.

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

I put this through Tinypic, obviously not so tinypic!
I will experiment

 

[SunnieBunnie Rabbitry]

Very cute little Broken Tort.... and look at those Milk-Dipped Ears!!!!

:inlove:

~Sunshine

 

[naturestee]

LOL!  Tinypic does get random about the size sometimes.  If that's with Tinypic, you may as well keep using it.  I can see the pic on my home computer, and man is that baby cute!

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

I have had two bunnies in all my litters with the symmetrical 'milk-dipped' ears, i love how identical the little white bit is on each ear!
When we got our doe, Honey, i had no idea what her background was- she is a smokey fawn. When she and Bob produced these adorable fawn spotted babies i was esctatic!
I have posted more pictures on the thread 'Umm.....kinda scared....'
I don't want to take up tons of room on here so please feel free to 'awww' all over them over there
You have no idea how proud i am to have such adorable babies.:bunnydance:

 

[Kez-bunniemom]

Hmm.....i don't know why but i can't see the pictures all of a sudden
