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.

Just had this very interesting discussion with a fellow bunny owner and my vet on separate occasions. My friend believes that stress can cause a doe to re-absorb her kits in the womb and my vet believe that it is logically impossible. He believes that it would be more of an abortion, or a mummification is also possible but not absorption. How or where can all the bones & body masses disappear?

Anyone has any experience to share?

I do not normally get comments on my blog and getting one every now and then makes me really happy. As a reader I am also guilty of not leaving behind comments when I ought to. When you share your life on the cyberspace, one thing that remains as mystery is who actually reads what you post. I am starting to wonder and became in awe of how my easily accessible my blog is and as many people would be in fear of having their identity snatched away through the information of themselves left floating in the cyber-world, I felt that all good things in this world should be shared.

I love sharing my passion with others especially Holland Lops. It is through sharing that we ourselves get to learn and grow. But most of the time, we do not get the affirmation whether our post is a good one or not. Therefore, when someone leaves a comment behind, I felt appreciated because someone actually take the time to read what I wrote.

Although some may not agree with what I do or believe, we are still very closely knit because of something common we share and hold true to our hearts – our rabbits.

And that being said, I just want to thank all those whom have been so faithful in reading (not necessary commenting) this blog and sharing this great hobby with me. May our passion for these beautiful creatures grow as we expand our circle of friends within our local community and in this large cyber-world.

Thank you very much…

I am getting kind of excited today because I got some good news of some possibilities. I do not hope to keep you guessing but I really have to keep mums about it. Till it really happens, nothing is gonna happen for sure. LOL…
