First Spring Litter (Growing Up!)

Here are just a few quick pictures of Morwenna and Henryi's litter, which is currently 14 weeks of age and approaching real Juniorship:-). There were nothing but Torts and Fawns in this litter, and there was actually one 5th baby who went home with his new owner a week or so ago because his mom accidentally bit off a toe at birth, rendering him unshowable.

These guys all look fairly good, with exceptionally calm, quiet dispositions for FAs (how unusual is it for every baby in a 14 week old litter to sit this still for a picture, anyway? LOL!)

This pick of the group at this point is a little Fawn doe, the second picture from the top. She is very typey and looks like she'll have excellent wool, but since this is a slow maturing line it will take time to determine how good she actually is.

Morwenna will be re-bred very shortly, this time to Giacomo for an all-Tort litter that I'm hoping will concentrate all the best traits in the barn. The other babies are coming along and eating me out of house and home which is a sure sign that everyone is healthy. Spring is the greatest time for new possibilities and potentially spectacular showbunnies!!

More again next week:-)

They are so pretty. My first litter of FA is three weeks old now, and I can't wait for them to look like FA!

The wool starts coming in at about 6 weeks, and then before you know it there's a nice, fuzzy bunny in front of you, LOL.

Best of Luck,
Amy:)
