Woolie Creations Angora Rabbits

Last night I went out to feed the bunnies and got a big wake up call! Prima the French doe with the 3 BIS's, Grand Champion now, and lots of legs had a pile of wool in the corner of her cage. OPPS! I knew she was getting close to her due date but I didn't realize how close! I fixed her up a nest box and put it in her cage. Within 5 minutes she was delivering babies!!! Boy you talk about a close call! She is a great mom and just licked them for what seemed forever! I wanted to see what she had in there, BUT she wouldn't quite licking on them! I got a quick peek before I came back in the house. I am glad I asked on the Blue Eyed White Angora list what I would get breeding rew to bew. Normally rew to rew is always ruby eyed white...... just about 100% of the time. That is the only genetics rule I have never broken  except when I had a satin doe that was a broken but looked all white. From what I could tell almost all the babies were colored! I bred her to one of my Blue Eyed White bucks - Sinclair. Prima is a BIG girl, and Sinclair is a big boy so these babies should be big! I will check them later today to see what colors I have. :)

I finally got a chance to take a few pictures. Here are a couple of the latest Blue Eyed White babies. They are sooooo cute. There are 2 does and 1 buck that are BEW and an Opal and a couple of Blues that are Vienna marked. Mom is CDA's Zinger  and dad is EH's Sinclair. This litter is about 3 weeks old now and out of the nestbox. They should be very nice and big as poppa is over 9 pounds now and under a year old!

I have several BEW French / Satin crosses to work with now, and all of them have tremendous shine! I am thinking I will have BEW shiny Satin babies by Fall. I have to wait a couple of months for the earliest of the crosses to reach breeding age. Keep your fingers crosses!

I have not sent a post for several days and I apologize. I have been very busy with my sign business - Custom Signs & Designs. Business picked up really fast, and those of you who have your own business know you have to get the work while it is there!

I have had so many litters the past few days I am just amazed. Most of the does have done an excellent job making nests and putting babies where they belong. I will take some pictures the first part of the week and post them for you to see. A pretty red satin doe bred to a broken red buck had 10 babies! All are doing great with no problems so far. A blue French Angora doe bred to Gay's Epic (the son of Prima) had 3 - 2 lilac or blue and a black.

The Blue Eyed White babies are doing well. I have 2 does and 1 buck along with Vienna marked litter mates in Chestnut, Blue and Opal. Their eyes are open and they are out of the nest box now! I will take some pictures of them also.
More later...............
