pictures of my flemish giants first litter

[djluster]

I will have to try and double check that she is a doe. I was just going off what I was told from the breeders. that is one thing I have not checked was here lenght. I have measured here ears and they are just over 6in. also most of these picture were taken a few months back so she is bigger now when she lays down. I also changed her food last month she is now on Purina Professional (grey bag) so hope that help add some wieght and makes her coat nicer. I thought about doing a mix of profession and show together. and thank you all for your comments on the babies and help with both of my bunnies. I am tring to learn the most that I can and you guys are a great help to that

Bella, to me looks like a cross with a French Lop. The ear wanting to lop, and the shorter ears, and just the way she is sitting in the first pic. She's beautiful no matter what though.

I was told that Bella's ear was damaged when the original owners got her. They said That the breeders son picked her up by her ear and it has alway been ment over since then.

Wow split faces!

 

[TinysMom]

Oh my word.....I LOVE them. I've always wanted a harlequin flemish (after having seen one). I wasn't sure if I'd ever see one again...I'll enjoy watching them grow.

Well there ya go, Peg! I'd bet the OP would sell ya one!

Very cute, djluster!!

What's interesting to me is that they're Japenese Harlequin colored w/ the orange. Maybe Crystal can explain how that happened?

It has to do with the "e" gene (there are five sets of genes that we look at in breeding - A, B, C, D & E....

Both parents would have had to have an "e" gene (versus "E" gene) or an "ej" gene for the harlequin (hard to explain at this hour of the morning).

 

[amdfarm]

LOL! I knew it was a genetics thing.

WHY do you have to be so far away!?!? i want one!

beautiful babies! i can't wait to see more of them as they grow!

 

[djluster]

thesse little ones are 3 weeks today and they are growing big fast. Today was the first day I really notice that they were going in and out of there nesting box. How long should I leave it in for.I will wait one more week before I add more pictures.

 

[djluster]

ok here is there 4 week pictures. they are getting big. they grow alot each day. they have started to eat pellets and drink out of the water bottle on there own. I have removed the nesting box since they stopped using it.

oh goodness! you can pack up the one with the orange face and send it to oklahoma, k? lol

 

[Nancy McClelland]

No, no,no! We're fairly certain that they would like Las Vegas much better, hint, hint.

 

[TinysMom]

The black and orange one is Texan at heart...I can tell that. He/she needs to come "home" to Texas and be with my flemish herd.....

 

[djluster]

ok Here this little ones. I tried to sex them today, but since this is my first litter I am not sure yet But from what I can tell so far I have one of each

Baby one think male

Baby two think Female

Few more week then i will start weening and sell these cute one. I am hoping to be able to get a pair of Dutch to breed

 

[TinysMom]

Oh my goodness - I am in love with them - I wish I lived nearby and could buy them.

How much do they weigh - just curious since we had been debating a bit about if they were full flemish if I remember right.
