Whenever I do not have much to write, I always think of this song call O Come Divine Messiah. Quite a common song during the Christmas season. I am not saying that any of my rabbits is my Messiah although I spend most of my free time with them. It is how I illustrate the feeling of looking forward to something hopeful. If you are reading this, you are definitely a rabbit lover. So my question to you is, besides the normal routine with your rabbit, what other things do you look forward to for your little hopper?
Since starting with Hollands, I have had 3 successful litters despite some unnatural deaths. I believe as a breeder, we always look forward for those little pinkies to arrive. From witnessing mommies picking up hay to build nest to having kits curled up in the nest. It makes me look forward to every beginning of the day anxiously to take a peep into those nest boxes to find healthy little “pillsbury” kits. It is true joy.
I am sure the rest of you breeders would agree that this is the ultimate fulfillment in this wonderful hobby. I am especially envious of those countries that have rabbit shows. Although we do not have it here, I am still contented to be able to own show quality rabbits. I do hope that some day we would be able to hold some small shows and slowly grow from there. But before that, we must always remember that shows are not for show offs or to gain recognition of any sort. I believe the true meaning of showing is when we meet people of the same interest. To share the knowledge and together improve on the breed without jealousy of any sort. This would be a healthy competition.
