ELS's Movado
So here it is more than a month later and one of the three does bred actually kindled. Trio's Oslo, a little bitty broken blue doe was a fantastic first time mama. She made a beautiful nest with enough fur pulled to keep me warm :) She had one roly poly broken blue kits by Trio's Liam. Already at 12 days old the bone on this little monster is noticeable.

Aside from the new litter I've been trying to get outside with the rabbits taking advantage of the last few days of nice weather before we're cooped up for the long haul. I've enjoyed watching them hop around the field while taking pictures. I should note that not every rabbit is cut out for freedom in "the great outdoors" as one of my junior bucks will attest to that. As most breeders know rabbits are easily spooked and once they give chase, recapturing a frightened rabbit can be dangerous to them.

The story with my junior buck is that he was hopping about enjoying the leaves when a curious little squirrel decided to drop in for a closer inspection. Either that or we were intruding on his nut gathering expedition. Anyway, my little guy started dashing through the field and decided to seek refuge under a small cedar bush. After allowing him ample time (or so I thought) to calm his nerves I tried to collect him only to startle him all over again. He was darting left and right until he came close enough which is when I pounced. After I had him securely in my arms I looked him over and found his only injury to be a scratched lip. Lesson learned on never bringing young hormonal juniors out to play anymore! Luckily that is the only bad case I've experienced.
