Let it Snow!
We got the snow we were hoping for and it was alot of fun, but it was a ton of work!
I am glad things are finally thawing out here. I was having to go out every morning and remove the snow from the rabbit kennel so the roof did not collapse. Twice a day I was going out to thaw out water bottles on top of the regular cleaning and feeding so it is nice to have a break! I spent 3 hours yesterday cleaning cages and cleaning up the mess the melting snow had made and I think things are finally almost back to normal.

No Tri Color Babies :-(
What a bummer! Solar Wind had a horrible labor and delivery. She spent 3 days in the house so I could keep a constant eye on her. She only had 2 babies. Both babies were DOA. By the end of the ordeal I was just thankful I didn't lose her. She is resting and recouping and will be rebred to Halo in hopes for some January babies. She is such a cute doe and already has a BIS to her name!

Vienna Babies!
My VM babies are here and I am soo excited! It is better than Christmas morning! Lela had 10 babies all live. Two of them are very small so I don't know if they will make it. I fostered 2 of her babies to Oopsie who only had 3 babies( also vienna carriers) Out of both litters it looks like there are 4 VM for sure. All of them are agouti colors except these two babies from Lela. They look non-extension which is weird because I didn't expect that from Lela. There is one that has a perfect full dutch blaze which is just too cute. I am going to have way to much fun watching these guys grow!

Show News
I have not been to any shows since Fair in August. Things just haven't worked out so I am really greatfull to Vanessa and Tomalene from Velvet Touch for showing Kayla for me at Mt. Vernon. She only got a second place but got some good comments. ( she was a little out of condition)She is out of Lela and Keepsake and I am more than happy with the way she is turning out. I wanted to get her on the table at least once as a junior and hopefully she will place better once she is a senior.

Switching Feed
There has been a whole lot of talk about people switching over to Purina Fiber 3 as their feed choice. I have heard great things from several different sources and it is around $3.00 less per bag so I am going to give it a try. I have been using Pfaus mixed half n' half with Purina Advanced Nutrition for about a year now so it shouldn't be much of a transition. I plan to keep mixing the Pfaus with the Fiber 3 and see how that works.
