May 4th, 2024 Reservations

I'm really excited for this reservation because we have so much variety in color! Jetta had the most beautiful grey/lavender toned colors and I may be keeping Oregano because of the unique vienna marking on her face. I'd love to pair her with Mr.Magoo! I'm also drawn to the fact that she is a grand daughter of Balloo..my precious Balloo. I'll make my final decision by May 3rd so if you see her photo taken off the website, that's why. Running a full time farm operation sometimes makes bunny photography a last priority but I'm going to try to blog more and add more photos and details about reservations through our blog page. If you aren't following us on Instagram or Facebook yet, be sure to because that's where I will be posting blog announcements! I also have highlights with reservation dates where you can tap through and see videos and pictures of upcoming reservations If you don't have social media, I completely support that and admire you!! Just check back a few days before a reservation and see if any new blogs appear. I decided to take a bunch of extra photos after I had already taken Jetta's babies photos for the website, but if I get to it before reservations open, I'll add more here. 

Twizzler and Clover had such a beautiful litter of babies but unfortunately only one made it. It's not uncommon for this to happen and for those of you that don't breed animals, there's a lot behind scenes that you wouldn't even imagine. Baby bunnies especially are super fragile their first 4 weeks of life and it's super important to keep a close eye on them. They can fade so quickly even if they have the best upbringing and nutrition. This is why we check our babies daily. Sometimes you can tell when they aren't very strong from the get go and sometimes I will hand feed them or give them extra time with mama bun, but sometimes it just isn't enough and nature takes it's course. Anywho... everyone meet Uno! She is an only child but super sweet and mellow. She's so attached to me since she's a singleton which makes it harder to adopt her, especially since I think she is probably a true dwarf! Look at those perfect ears and smooshed face! I think she's going to stay in the 2-3lb range. Of course that's never guaranteed, but sometimes you can just tell as they grow that they're going to turn out really nicely. Love this girls head and overall shape! If you are an ethical breeder, this doe would be ideal to add to your rabbitry given the colors in her pedigree and markings of Twizzler! She will probably produce some amazing colors depending on your buck. I would love for her to go to a pet home and be pampered and love on though! Her temperament so far has been amazing and very mellow. I hope she stays this way! ​

Uno- Blue Eyed White Doe

Up next we have Eloise's litter of the chubbiest babies ever! I love this pairing and plan on breeding her to Buzz again. I love how they inherited Buzz's chubby cheeks! This whole litter is very social and has been handled daily. They've done amazing at bunny therapy and have won the hearts of many. I mean how can you not fall in love with these faces?! I also can't believe how many girls we are getting! For years I have always had a lot more boys than girls born here but the gender fairy has showed favor in does right now! 

Jasmine- Orange Doe

Orange has always been a favorite color of mine. She's going to look a lot like her papa Buzz! 

Ivy- Sabled Blue Magpie Doe

Absolutely LOVE her colors and markings and I'd like to keep her but I can't! She is pure perfection! 

Sweet Pea- Tort Doe

The idea of blogging with extra photo's came to me in the middle of photography days so unfortunately I don't have extra photos of  Sweet Pea as I was just taking her photo for the bunnies to adopt page. There are several videos on Instagram highlights though so check there! 

Rhodie- Orange Harlequin VC Buck

Rhodie is technically a vienna marked because of the teeny tiny white on his nose, however, he has brown eyes so it would be easier to mark him as vienna carrier as he carries the blue eyed gene though he doesn't express it.

Smoosh and Paris's babies photos will be coming soon! They are still very tiny so I'm letting them grow out more before I take more photos. Enjoy their baby photos for the mean time! I made the mistake of pairing these two when I knew Paris was most likely a true dwarf given he is SUPER tiny. He's one of our newer bucks. Well.. this breeding proved Paris is in fact a true dwarf as this litter produced peanuts. Peanuts carry two dwarf genes and cannot survive. They can live for a few days to a few weeks but it's mostly common for them to pass within the first 10 days. I am very particular to not breed my true dwarfs together for this very reason! I don't like producing an animal that's only outcome is death. I don't think there is any ethical reason for this. Also fun fact, I see posts all the time of people selling their 8 week old holland lops as "dwarf holland lops". Breeding two dwarf rabbits together does not mean all offspring will be true dwarf. You actually have the same chance of getting dwarfs from a false dwarf bred to a true dwarf but none of the babies are peanuts in a false dwarf/true dwarf pairing so why wouldn't you just breed FD/TD for the same outcome of potential true dwarfs? Also no one at 8 weeks old could guarantee the size. No matter what, holland lops range from 2-5lbs given some brood does are heavier than the standard size. Genetics does play a roll so if you adopted a baby from two rabbits that were 2lbs, your chances are higher that your baby would stay on the smaller side, however, it's still possible that baby could grow out to be 4lbs. The only way to guarantee a 2-3lb holland lop would be adopting one that is 6 months old as they are full grown by then. Random education moment, but comment below if you have any questions about that! 

Bless you all and I hope to add you to our Blue Clover Family on May 4th!
