Hello Everyone! These are the Natty Dwarfs! All photos in this post were taken today August 16, 2010. I apologize for the photo quality, working on getting a better camera.

Matin is in a bad molt.

Thanks for the name suggestions Whiskerz, and thanks for encouraging me to make this blog! It was about time I got into a different part of the forum. :biggrin:

Today in Natty Dwarfs Rabbitry, most of the day I was away. I had to go to a training with my mother because I took my senior photos today and both were in the same city. When I finally got home after spending some time with my goats and feeding them as well, I got home and fed the buns. Everyone is doing good. Tomorrow I am going to do a little posing work with Navasota and his half brother, play with Navidad for a while and sex Stormy's babies. I have been making guesses for a while but I will finalize it tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to take some good pictures of all of my babies. :)
 
Today is anothe relaxing day before senior year starts. I determined the sexes of stormy's babies. Two bucks and three does. all three does are big uglies and the two boys are smaller. what a coincedence... not really. It seems strange to me but that seems to happen a lot.

You wanted pictures, but i've got something better. a video of all the babies and their mom. :biggrin2:

School starts monday! I am very excited to finally get senior year started and get going on school again so the boring summer will be over and I can get this highschool business over with and go to college! :biggrin:

Sorry no pics today, and for some reason I forgot all about what I was supposed to be doing today in terms of bunny business, and I will certainly do it tomorrow!
 
GREAT NEWS!!!! (and bad news)

Tootsie Roll is actually pregnant! I palpated her and it feels like she's got one kit. Which kinda sucks. But hey, at least we can finally get her going with having babies again after being out of it for about 4 months.

Now for the bad news (with more good news)... I think I am going to have to get rid of half of my rabbits because they are what we call "seal marten" and they are not the color that they are suposed to be. This would include Henry, Tootsie Roll, Santee and Navidad. The color genes that they carry are not what I am aiming for. I really hate to have to do this, but in the interest of bettering my herd, I believe it is necessary.

Now, the good news that will come out of that is that I get to get more rabbits! I will start a new project where I get some Chinchillas and some Otters and breed them together to make some good silver martens that I can actually use. Luckily, my buck Martin is saved by the little hair on his chin, haha pun, because he is actually a black silver marten, but he does carry that bad gene that I don't want. It shouldn't show up though.
 
Today was rabbit cage cleaning day! It is a lot of work but it is also fun. I do it every sunday.

Today I also helped out Oreo, who is in a huge molt, to get some of that pesky old fur off of him. This is what my grooming table looked like after I was done and the next picture is of him chillin' out afterward.

And the last picture of the day is my darling doe Stormy doing the dead bunny flop and her babies laying down and trying to keep cool too.

Oreo isa real sweety pie. I love him to pieces and am going to be really sad when he finds a new home. Hopefully I will be ablesneak ina replacement for him.

To be honest, he is nothing more than an FFA bunny, and is lacking in a few key places todo wellat ARBA shows. His head is very tiny, his ears are more folded looking than they should be, and I think his crown isn't very good. He does have a good body though, aside from being very fine-boned for a Holland.

:biggrin:Hollands are a lot of fun and I want to have some someday.

Yes I will be breeding that one to Bonnie and then get a buck from there to breed to Stormy and hopefully make some Lilacs.

Yep. I updated my web site today too. New pics of everybody. Basically they are just the ones I posted in my critique thread. Which not many people have responded to...
But today was another good day. I cleaned the cages and all the bunnies are doing well.

Thanks. :) It is hard to get rid of such cute babies, but you get used to it after a while.

Glad to hear that Liam is doing well and I hope your other two boys are well too.
