Falling Down Heights, my daily life

[Ponypoor]

Finally 'warming' up. Although the wind chill is still bad. It's -9 right now, feels like -14. Beats the -30!!

Going to get better as the week goes on, with expected 0 on Sunday! I may wear a bikini!

Have a total of 28 baby bunnies, including the ones born a few days ago. Not all of them come from my rabbits, but my friend and I have pretty much decided that we're splitting them 50/50, no matter the parentage. More does are due in a few days, and then a few more next week. Glad it's not me dealing with all of those, lol!!!

One litter I'm really looking forward to is next week. I hope to make steps forward towards having tri-coloured rabbits with this one. Like this:

I think there is a breeder north of here that raises them. I always stuck to the 'broken' blacks and lilacs - lots of fun with them. Good dual purpose rabbits. Most people don't know this.

Tri Standard Rexes??

The fun in making the tricolours is that you need a specific combination of genes to get them, *plus* a specific type of broken for good markings. Blanket/booted brokens are preferred, and you need to have Harlequin.

I also love red rabbits, so working on those, too. None so far in this bunch, but like I said, fingers crossed for the one that's due next week!

As for the rabbits I have here, I'm going to test my chinchilla doe to see if she carries the non-extension (e) gene that produces reds with my black buck who is split for it.

I'm gonna be having fun this Spring.
