Well, I started out December fully prepared to share lots of cute pictures of our darling juniors.  I even took the pictures, yes Santa hats and all.  However, that next step never happened.  I got wrapped up with holiday frenzy.  So rather than letting these cute faces get lost I figured I may as well still post them.  I must mention, we have some very  incredible juniors growing right now.  Boos last litter has produced some of my favorite stuff.  I am loving the heads and body length.  They are definitely unlike anything we have produced so far.  I am hoping this turns out to be in a very good way. 
On a separate note, we will be listing a few sable does in the next couple of days.  One is a junior and one is a senior doe who is ready to be bred.  We can sell with a pedigree to the right home.  I've been seeing a lot of people filling their rabbitries with baby Hollands lately.  For me, on a personal note, this screams out that you don't fully understand what it is you want in your rabbitry.  You can not know, nor guess what a baby Holland can offer, therefore it leaves me to assume, you don't care, as long as you just own a Holland.  That is surely anyones choice, as I agree they are adorable babies.  But I would prefer our pedigreed stock go to someone who is carefully selecting their traits and very concerned with the standard.  There is so much more to breeding than just growing up a cute baby and putting it with the opposite sex.  

On that cute note we would like to wish everyone a Happy, and healthy wonderful new year.  We will return next year with our review of last years goals, and our upcoming ones.  

Well the day has finally come.  We have our first official singleton.  The dreaded single kit.  In the brink of winter.  Sigh.  We of course followed protocol and had another doe due, but she missed.  Our doe was due today, but I knew she had a tendancy to kindle early.  So I woke up at 6 only to find 3 very cold stiff kits.  The doe did not pull any fur for them.  One was a peanut, the other look stretched.  But I figured I would still try to warm the other one up.  Worst that could happen is it never revived.  Well to my surprise, about a minute under warm water and it began to slowly wiggle.  I was stunned.  I really in all my days, never have seen something like this.  It really seemed dead.  So I continued warming the baby, and it was struggling for the first 20 minutes, but then, it snuggled up against my husbands overly warm stomach, and went to sleep.  We have set up an incubation area for it.  Not sure how this is going to work out in the long run but for now our little "Zombie" is hanging in there.
