Now since we are into february we are getting ready for the baby bunnies to come!!! In four to seven days we will hopefully have two litters! We are so excited around here waiting for bunnies. ill keep you guys updated and let you know when the babies come. wish flower & jessie luck :)
Here at THUMPS~A~LOT we arent just about breeding. we also rescue bunnies in need. i dont know about you but i have always loved bunnies (what little girl doesnt). i always grew up with the lager breeds like the new zeland whites, and the rex. the reason i wanted to breed hollands is because they are so cute and pocket sized. i know sir thumps alot gets out alot during the spring and summer months. he goes to the pet store and the mall and the kids football/soccer/cheerleading games or even just to drive mommy to the store as you can see from the photo album. smaller is just easier especially when breeding haha. i have a hard time finding spots for six cages that fit the hollands let alone the size it would take to keep rex/mini lops/ or hares happy.but it wasnt until tonight when we rescued max our new mini lop that i remembered why i love the big bunnies. max is the sweetest little cuddle bug ever he's like a little puppy. unlike most rabbits having him in the car on my lap was no stress at all. i sat down in the passenger seat with max in hand he hunkered down curled into my arm and fell fast asleep. he has mats all over him and his toe nails are starting to curl around and he is far to skinny. his owners had a tea cup cor him to drink out of there is no way he could have fit his face into to drink. now he is in a nice new cage with new bowls fresh hay and he has had his nails cut tommorow we will brush and maybe bathe him iif its warmer. ill update maxs photo album tommorrow and give let you know how he's feeling. hopefully he will be much better :]
Cleaning cages, trimming toe nails, brushing out bunnies, and making sure everybunny gets attention is time consuming. But i love what i do so you will never hear me complain. Starting next week ill be going to school at night for a CNA course im excited but i dont like leaving the momma bunnies along for long just incase. So ive been getting a lot of emails for bunnies. more requests than i can fill but im working on it. If your wondering why the lapse between litters its simply because i was waiting til the time was right to breed all four does for easter. If you have checked out my photo albums then you noticed Lola and Flower have been bred already both mommies are proven. This month im going to breed daphne and jessie (dame Lola x sire Thumper) for the first time. wish us all luck hopefully there will be no complications and everything will go well. As well as breeding and going back to school im building more hutches. Twister [buck] (dame Flower x sire Thumper) will be ready to breed in just over a month which means im on the hunt for a new doe for him to mate with. If anyone is selling a young sr doe i would love to hear from you. you can find my email on the contact us page.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to visit i hope you come back soon Jamie |
