More Rabbit Updates

9/10/2013

 
Yesterday I bred Paris to Porkchop.  Breeding was witnessed, but this will be her first litter, so we'll see how it goes.  Today I attempted Sweetheart to Porkchop, but I don't think he achieved anything.  She's just so fluffy it seems to be difficult for Porkchop to find his mark.  I watched for several minutes as he attempted, but I did not witness any successful attempts.  They were left alone for a while, so I guess it's possible, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.  I'm a little disappointed, but Porkchop gave it his best.

The Harlequin/NZ litter is growing quickly and their orange coloring is darkening into a beautiful red shade.  I can hardly wait for them to be bigger and hopping around.  I think they're going to be absolutely beautiful.

In other news, Starfyre the black and white male Syrian (teddy bear) hamster goes to his new home.  Yay!

The second level of the new rabbit shelves is now attached.  It's just a matter of getting the separator part (to run under the top cages to avoid the bunnies on top from soiling the bunnies below), and the roof purchased and built.  Sounds simple enough, but it's going to be very expensive and it's going to take a lot more work than the three days I've already put into building the shelving structure.  After the roof is on, I'll work on the tarp walls and the heating system (still working on the logistics of that though).  Once it's all set up, I can move the bunnies over to their new structure!
