Cold Ears

1/28/2014

 
Perhaps this is common knowledge amongst breeders but I have recently discovered something.  This is our first winter with baby bunnies.  Our garage protects them from the elements but it by no means protects them from the cold.  I have read that winter babies are known for shorter ears.  To be honest I have a good mix so not sure that is something I will put a lot of faith in.  I have  however had 3 litters with extreme ear control.  This is coming from bucks and does with no ear control so I was a bit confused and dismayed.  Well in the midst of shuffling babies around now that they are weaned, I have brought 2 inside.  Now that they have been in for a week their ears have finally dropped.  So to test it out I brought in another and sure enough it's ears are also starting to drop.  All the ones outside are still full upright.  So it may mean nothing but I found it interesting just the same.  
I had a fun day playing with babies today.  I brought everyone in and put them together.  I imagined chaos.  Instead they all flopped down for naptime.  I couldn't really get any great photos that I loved but it was fun to see them all together.  My favorite Doe is still Honey.  Ooh La La.  Kami is pondering if she wants to go to the Feb show or not being that her sisters have nothing to show.  And our cute little bucks are getting nicer by the day.  Crossing our fingers they come out of the uglies in a GREAT way.
