Hey everyone,
Well... I know I was leaning towards Mini Rex, but I think I've decided to get a Satin instead. First of all, I've been in contact with the Satin breeder for almost a year now, and he's really willing to go out of his way for me, and I appreciate that a lot. I only just met the other breeder a couple weeks ago. Plus, I think having a big, red bunny is more "me" than a small one. The daddy is a bit small for a Satin, he weighs a litte over eight pounds, and the momma weighs ten. According to the breeder, the dad is the sweetest bunny he has in his barn, and the babies are showing really good temperments so far... they keep falling out of the cage because they'rereaching for attentionat feeding time!
I just got these pictures of the bucks that I get to choose from, are they not DARLING? They are 4 1/2 weeks old in these pictures, but they were taken about three weeks ago, so all these little men are now 7 1/2 weeks old. They've gotten bigger and darker since these pictures were taken... so they're a really vivid red color now, not so light. I'm either picking him up (lonnnng drive) next weekend or later. I have to match my schedule up with the breeder's first! I'm sooo excited!
And the Dad & Mom:
Those parent pictures aren't very flattering... the mom was VERY pregnant and rolly-ish, and it was cold and sunny out, poor buns. Shows how deep red the babies will be when they mature, though!
