Shipment of rabbits in from Ottawa!

So, I had an e-mail sent to me from a friend telling me of a breeder in Ottawa selling out of Mini rex. I know, I'm insane now we have 5 breeds of rabbits. But, the way I see it, you only live once and if I'm able to do this, why not? I will and do keep my high standards in every single breed so I plan to do just as well in all the other breeds as our main breed- ML's. Anyway so I contacted the guy selling and the animals are all from Cresthill Rabbitry, with 2 animals from New York. These 9 new Mini rex are mine/Cristina's but Mayhanna the little girl that helps us has her own pair, plus read further for more info!

So after a lot of organizing-- they arrived today just before 6pm. We got them unloaded and put into their cages. Some really nice rabbits in the bunch! We had to clip a bunch of nails as they were really long but the rabbits look good and healthy and hopefully they eat and drink well tonight.

We sold a rabbit and a guinea pig today/tonight. We have someone coming tomorrow for a rabbit and actually 2 rabbits tomorrow so that will be good.

Very pleased with the new rabbits, really great type. Just need to go on some diets.

We've gone a bit crazy buying new stock this month. We purchased these 9 Mini rex, and a trio of Mini rex from KT's Rabbitry for Mayhanna : ) Plus 2 Mini lops- Kitsemble's Gus and Kitsemble's Sara and Velotta's Hydro to work on a few things in our ML program but still stay within the same lines. We also purchased the new Chestnut dwarf buck, that is all the buying we will be doing for quite a long time!

Otherwise that is all that is new!

Regarding reds from the comment you left on my blog:

Yep, there sure is someone who raises reds. Jody Rosnik (Alpine Rabbitry - ARBA Judge) has reds. She's in Colorado. She has nice reds (she's who I got my reds from before)! I have a picture of one of her reds on my color guide: http://www.hoppinherdofhares.com/wideband.html.
