First thank you to all the faithful followers and rabbit lovers of my website! You are truly appreciated and the reason why I put the time into my website like I do. I like to try to keep it interesting and educational. I have alot of plans for my site if I can just find the time! If you want to keep updated on new features just become a member and I will send blasts when I finally add something new! Its easy to join...just go to my guestbook page.
I have been very fortunate to be enjoying gorgeous weather here in So. California...we have had several weeks of 70 to 85 degree weather! I've been trying to take advantage and getting some breeding in. I am only having some luck but better than most I assume. I have one doe B&L Betty that I really like alot and I REALLY want to get babies out of...so I have been trying alot longer than I do most does!I have a return addition to my rabbitry. He is an opal vienna marked that I gave to my son's preschool teacher last year and she and the kids have really spoiled him. He was the star of the school. Lately they discovered a few kids are allergic to the rabbit and the school hamster. I gladly took both of them home. My son loves the hamster "Noel" (he is a boy) but he is really old! The kids named the rabbit "Scooter" but I have since re-named him Sly. He is a littermate to Artisan and Heinz 57. This litter was very nice so I am happy to have him back and will use him in my breeding program for now. He was very well taken care of and has a super super nice coat! I think that being a pet was great for him!
Also lately I have been experimenting with different ways to keep the odor down in my rabbitry. I clean weekly with touch-ups in between with my shop vac. But I think with the amount of rabbits I have now the odor has gotten a little out of control. So I have been using a product called Dry Stall in the pans. Also recently have started using a product called Abate XP that is sprayed in and around my rabbitry. Also a product called "Odor Magnet" from the same company. I have only done two applications so far so we will see how it works. I have to ask my husband or non rabbit friends if its working because I have become immune to the smell! LOL
Additionally I have decided to run for National Mini Rex Rabbit Club District 2 Director! I have gotten alot of encouragement from fellow members so I am going for it! I TRULY enjoy this hobby and figure I might as well get more involved! I made campaign website so I can get out my message so come by and visit. Be sure to sign in as well!So basically thats whats going on lately....hopefully I have new updates of litters soon! I am getting ready to leave tomorrow to my next show which is in El Centro, CA. Its about a 3 hour drive so I am going to stay in a hotel the night before. I am looking forward to seeing everyone especially my Arizona friends!
Thanks for reading!
