I have been having a really good past couple of days. I started a group for Orange/Fawn netherland dwarf breeders on Facebook and much to my surprise within 48 hours there are actually 20 of us on there! I'm really excited about it, with so few who breed them out there it's wonderful to have a place to connect. Plus a few of the breeders are talking about going to the ARBA Convention this year so that'd be really cool to be able to meet with them all (and maybe pick up a few bunnies too lol)
Speaking of picking up bunnies, is it April yet?! One of my rabbit breeder friends gave me the heads up that she is having a herd reduction and 2 of the rabbits I was looking at before are listed in it along with a few other does that I think would really be a benefit to my orange program, I'll be picking them up from her sometime after Easter. Still broke from the dentist and doctor BUT I can not pass this up, so thankfully she takes paypal and I'm going to be naughty and use my card and just pay it off. Fortunately the hubby wasn't too hard to convince, his biggest issue was the driving distance and gas prices. Sometimes I envy those women whose husbands are rabbit breeders too lol.
In other news all my December matings were misses except for 2 does, one who gave birth to 2 peanuts, and the other had them out on the wire. I think I may pick out 3 or 4 does to bring in and give them a try... I'm really really wanting at least one litter out of Ninja and Oreo, Heath and Fe, and then either Minute Maid, Orange Crush or Heath with Kisses. The other does I'm ok waiting until it warms up a bit more if I must. Well that's it for this post, just thought I'd update again since this weather doesn't allow for much else lol.
