Ohio Shipment sent out, and others!

So it took a day longer, thanks to the Victoria cargo office, but going out of Nanaimo went with no hitches to get 9 rabbits off to Ohio (supposed to be 10, but will send the other one to Convention, she just didn't fit in shipment).

Cage space wise, that REALLY helped!

Also sent 4 Mini's down to WA (thanks Jan for transporting for us!!!), and we are doing a shipment of 1 Mini to Terrace tomorrow morning (7 am flight in Victoria.. not my idea of a fun Saturday morning! Oh well can use the cage.)

Now we just have to try to get through a few more weeks, with a few other people's rabbits. We have been looking after 2 Dwarfs, that are to go with a few ML's to another breeders place, and as of tomorrow will have 4 hollands we are housing until we can get that shipment off (along with 3 French lops).

Our nest boxes are getting full, have 5 ML litters right now, smaller litters though so not too high of numbers. New litter born yesterday by "2nd Time Around" a broken chestnut doe who is a sister to Ada and Ava. She was returned from a 4H home, as they found her scratchy. So I worked with her for a few weeks, and she really just wanted to be a mom! She is actually a super sweet doe, wanting head scratches. So she had a litter of 4 (3 alive) yesterday by Montana. Perfect timing, as we were just loading to send Montana to Ohio, so glad to have this litter by him!

I believe our last count of ML babies, including the 3 born yesterday is 19 I believe.

Dwarf litters are doing well. We have an Opal! Out of Mae and Keno. Something different for sure. Was expecting it to be a Blue Otter, but now that it has more fur / eyes open, we're sure it's an opal. Last count was 12 Dwarf babies. Have 1 more doe due, then nothing until Nov when we will breed a few for Dec litters (that way Selina can have cute 4 week old babies when she is here! Her request).

Still have the 10 Satin babies, Hope is raising 7, Rosalind 1, and Sara 2 of them. We have Tana due in the next while, can't remember when she is due, need to check barn calendar on that one!!

Still have some ML's due, with not breeding since May (last litters in June), we had a WHOLE slew of does that needed to be bred. Ones that had the last 6 months off. We have bucks that are 1 yr old that have only just now been used for their first litters, and does that are 1 yr old who have had 1 litter, and sat idle since then... So, we had to breed some of them!!

I think the next most important one(s) to breed are Alexis, and maybe Anne Marie, and Dream on Boys (as Mayhanna really wants her rabbit to have babies, and I forgot to breed her to Porter before he left... Whoops! I think she wants her bred to a REW though, so Kayden can get a girlfriend probably!!)

Those are all the updates for today, have a gazillion jobs to do with Luxton Fair this weekend.
