Whoa BABIES

Lets start off with Lebanon!
It was sooo much fun!!! It was the most fun I have had at a show since :) I loved hanging out with Julie and Chrissy for a day then sneaking bunnies into the hotel room for the night with Julie and hanging out with Julie AGAIN and April. My perfect weekend right there! Speaking of Perfect Julie, April and I all bought a chestnut doe that is to DIE for I nicknamed her perfect since well she is perfect. Her real name is ANR's Idina (Uh-Deen-A) She's so nice and I can't wait to show her and have babies. She's currently living with Julie right now. She is also currently bred to Spring Lake's Fred who is AMAZING so we are extremely excited to have babies from both of them. Let's see I also came home with my first official Netherland Dwarf Doe. Her name is Mallorie and boy is she cute! She's 6 so she will probably only have one more litter but she's gorgeous and I love her! :) She's a pretty Chinchilla color which is one of my secretively favorite colors. April got 3 new bunnies and Julie got 4! Normally it's me getting the most then April and then Julie but Julie got the most this time! haha :)
As far as placings the first day I did bad lol, I got dead last with Kennelly is Open Solid Senior Bucks but that's okay I still love my Ken <3 He is awesome I think he just is taking his time pulling out the big wins! haha :) Then Chrisily got DQ for lack of color :( poo but she did get AWESOME comments so that's good. I am on the hunt for a buck to breed her with lol. I only brought 2 kids since I knew I would be on the hunt for some new bunnies there wasn't any there that really said WOW to me except for Perfect of course! haha :)
Jedan had 5 sable point babies!!! I am soo excited. I have been trying to get her rebred for the longest time and then the day before she had her babies I was cutting her nails and on a whim I felt her stomach and sure enough we had babies!! It's such a blessing I cut there nails because other wise I don't think the 4 living ones would be here today! She had 5 but 1 baby died. It clung onto her from feeding I am assuming and got too cold :(
Mirie never had babies :( I was so sure she was prego but I guess I was wrong which is seemingly happening quite often lately lol. She was nesting and stuff so I just was like oh good she's pregnant no point in palpating her well I tried but I am not very good at it but anyways I kind of just let it go and assumed she was. Turns out she wasn't. So I bred her with her son Laszlo he's a broken blue with some hopes of solid blues so I could breed one with Chrisily maybe.. But with my luck I will get all charlies lol
Noel pulled fur like 12 days in advance so I was super uber excited for her babies turns out she didn't have any ugh! So I am trying her again with Repeat in hopes of some babies this time! She hasn't been very willing to so I am going to to keep trying her and hopefully soon get some babies out of Noel!
Panda had 4 babies this morning! YAY! I am so excited :) It looks like 1 broken and 1 Solid then the other 2 I think are peanuts. Although I have never had peanuts they are significantly smaller so we will see if they are or not. I realllly hope they aren't because I am super excited for this pairing but who knows whatever is meant to be will happen.
Okay I think that's all the updating for now lol. The State College show is tomorrow so there will hopefully be another post shortly following!

Only 40 more hours!!

I am really excited for Lebanon!!! It's going to crazy fun at least I an anticipate it to be! I get to spend all day with Chrissy from Huggable Hollands, April from Razzle Dazzle Bunnies and Julie from Oak Ridge Rabbitry!! I am sure I will learn a ton and can't wait how my bunnies do! I am only taking Elliot, Chrisily and Kennelly so we will see how they do. I decided to show in Open just because no real reason lol. I am hoping to find a couple new surprises there so we will see how things go! I have lots to do still!

Sable Point Breeding

Well where to start I guess I will introduce Panda our newest addition. So I was suppose to be downsizing which seems to be an impossible task her but that's okay one day I will get down to numbers I am happy with. I don't have trouble with deciding who should go it's more so of selling them and NOT bringing anymore new rabbits in. I really want to try hard to start keeping my own names so hopefully by this time next year at least half of my rabbits will just have Wagner's Rabbitry name on them!

Anyways, Panda is a broken sable point doe who is the sweetest thing ever! I love her sooo much, you can do virtually anything too her and she loves to just be held and have lots of attention. You think between her and Jedan my solid sable point doe I would be able to have sable point babies right?
Wrong.
I think Jedan and Panda are both devising a plan on not letting me breed sable points because first of all neither of them are willing to be bred. Jedan had a litter of 4 about a month ago now and they didn't make it unfortunately :( Panda is proven and had her last litter about 4 months ago now so there should be no problem in breeding right?
They both just pancake it would when I put them in with Kennelly. I think it's starting to hurt Kennelly's feelings! haha :) Kennelly is awesome and I want to have babies from him so bad!! So hopefully by christmas we will super adorable solid and broken sable point babies!!
I will keep you updated on how it goes!!

Only 2 weeks until Lebanon!!! I am sooooo excited!! I will be rooming with Julie from Oak Ridge rabbitry and it will be a very fun time!

Oh my overdue post!

Well this post is way over due sorry if anyone is still reading this! haha
Anyways so lets start with baby news!
The Lionhead babies are super cute and growing lots! They are really friendly and are little puff balls right now!
Jedan's babies sadly all passed away :( She was either not producing enough milk or not letting them nurse for long enough :( I am going to try to breed her again with Kennelly and hope for better results next time!
I palpated Noel and she has at least 2 babies in there hopefully more!! I am super excited for this litter :) I think they will be a nice cross :)
I think that's it for baby news right now!
Next on to show news!
For Grange Kennelly got 3rd out of 3 :( The judge said he had a nice wide head excellent crown and placement and short shoulders, but lacks in depth and overall width.
Laurel and her babies got 3rd out of 10 he didn't really give any comments on them.
For Mill Hall Kennelly placed 7th out of 10 so he did better! the judge said he has a good head and ears firm body good bone but was too close to be broken sable point? not sure what that means but all well!He also said he lacked flesh in the rear and was a little undercut
Nadia got 3rd out of 3 he said her head shape was good but folded ears and a little slipped and was just fair overall
Laszlo got BOV!! Yay!! He was in broken junior buck, I am so proud of him :) He said he had a nice head, good bone, nice crown/ ear and nice solid buck

I had a lot of fun at the show and can't wait for the next one! I need about a week off though to catch up on sleep haha!

New cages :D

Yay!! I am getting 5 more cages!! wahoo!! 3 30x30 and 2 24x30. I am so excited! I am selling my 24x36 cages so technically I will be only getting 2 more holes but those 2 will be replacing my mini lops old cages so i will have a whole shelf to work on and stuff :) I am excited. Now if only I can sell my ones I have for sale!

Downsizing

So I got a job well hopefully I have put in a couple applications so I think that there is a good chance I will be getting the job. However, with working, going to school, coaching soccer, raising a seeing eye puppy, I won't have as much time as I would like to have for the rabbits. So now I have to downsize in order to have even time for everybunny. So far I have Mountainside Cave's Cyclone and Mountainside Cave's Nadia for sale, I haven't decided who else should go yet but it is going to be difficult to decide who should go. I am hoping to get my numbers down to 18 or so ideally 15 but that probably won't happen. I am also going to list Haagen's Brody as a pet only. The Netherlands also may become available as well.

WAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

JEDAN HAD 4 SABLE POINT BABIES OH.MY.GOSH. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
Jedan kindled early this morning, 4 super adorable over the top sweet sable point babies! Well I am 90% sure they are sable point so hopefully they are! I can't wait to see these guys develop! They are gonna be amazing! Well I hope they are. Jedan is a little on the bigger side and Kennelly is a little on the smaller side. Kennelly has short shoulders and a nice h/e/c (head, ear and crown). Jedan has an awesome body but lacks in sable point color so hopefully they have Kennelly's coloring. I have high hopes for these guys and they are only a couple hours old! Oh if they only knew what they were getting themselves into!
