amberfocusSo we brought home our 3 new New Zealand Red rabbits very late Saturday night during a snowstorm that hit during the last leg. It made the last 30 miles take 2 hours to drive. But they are here, they are beautiful and they are settling in well. The green ears are due to tattoo ink as the lady we bought them from tattooed all but the youngest of them. The excess ink will wear off. They are all purebred and pedigreed.
Anyway, meet our new proven junior buck Wildfire:
And our two new little does who are still very much kits Sienna and Cinnabun:
The girls should darken up around the 16 week old mark. I am aiming for the coloring of Wildfire or darker for our breeding program. I've got a line on another doe, hopefully. A closer breeder just bred her two NZR's, so 10 weeks or so from now she will know if she has any females. The last litter was all bucks and I don't need another buck. anyway, they are all very sweet and good-tempered and have the softest fur. They are starting to get used to me, though Wildfire is still shy. Hopefully that will pass soon.
