Sad not to make it to Convention this year but happy to have some unlikely litters being born. It was so hot this summer that I figured it would be sometime before I would be able to get some bunnies bred. Some little bird told me that to keep breeding the bucks and the sterility would pass through. It sounded like a good idea so I tried it and have been happily surprised to have 4 does making nests this week. So far, Sassafras had 4, some chocolates maybe? It sure looks like it and with enough wool in the nest to keep an Eskimo warm. Bunnies are such willing foster Moms. I had a Wooly have a litter 2 weeks ago and she was feeding them well. Then I had another young doe have a litter about 10 days later. She would have nothing to do with the only living baby. I stuck it in the nestbox with the two older babies to keep warm. It looked so tiny peeping between the two big babies. I put Mom in to feed them and much to my surprise, this bitty thing had a fat tummy after. How it managed to get to the milk, I have not idea but it continues to thrive. I will have to get a photo.

Managed to make it to the MARCS Show on Sunday to support the club for the Convention Bid. It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed the slower pace of a single show. Got to spend time with friends and the bunnies did better then expected. Amber Pearl won BOS in angoras and Drizzle won BOS and Perriwinkle won BOSV in woolies. Fun was had by all!
