Updates from Melbourne: Day 14

Since I do not have kits in the nest box at the moment, I am going to flood the blog with some photos of kits. It shall lead to nest box filled with kits, I hope…

This litter is just so colorful. I wish I could have a litter like this. So many varieties to choose from.

This is the stage when they are the cutest!

Noobie’s Update 4: No kits for Christmas

Expectations has been too high I guess. I am a little disappointed on Christmas eve. Noobie has not kindled and I believe she do not have kits in her. Today’s day 32 and her stomach has flattened out.

There are so many possibilities namely reabsorption, she was too heavy to conceive and false pregnancy.

My concern is not having a foster doe when I need one. She is suppose to be my foster doe when Holly Hope delivers. So now my risk is even greater.

Really need some graces here.

It will be a quiet Christmas in Meadow Haven after all…

There is a rabbit in everyone

There are many things that we can learn from rabbits. I personally learned that we are very much alike, rabbits and us humans. One very obvious lesson rabbit owners will come to appreciate is that, rabbits almost never show sign of weakness. The only sign shown would be death.

Why is it so? Being animal of prey, rabbits cannot afford to show their predators that they are weak because that will cost them their lives.

I believe one of the reason why I am so attracted to this hobby is because I am required to constantly look out for awkward signs and to react wisely so that I do not loose any of my rabbits. That is the challenge I find worth taking up. When Noobie was taken ill last week, my wife said to me, “You rabbits are like time bombs”. That’s because she felt that from time to time, hurdles never fail to crop up and she sometimes wonder why I bother putting myself into these sort of mental torture and going through all the troubles.

For a matter of fact, I have grown to deal with these problems. And to be honest, they help equip me for the cruel world. Handling a rabbit really helps me deal with people. In the rat race, people are very much like rabbits.

I will tell you why. In the corporate world, human are like a rabbit running free in the meadow. When they get injured, they will never show signs of weakness. Your colleagues will never show you their sign of weakness too! And being prideful beings, no one will ever admit that they are weak. It is survival of the fittest too.

It really scares me a lot to think of human acting like animals but inevitably, they do! The fun part is when you see through them and figure out their weakness. When you do, you get the problem solved!

So whenever you get worked up whether in a rabbit show or in your workplace. Just remember, when someone act nasty, that’s just because they are WEAK and felt THREATENED.

And remember, WE ARE ANIMAL OF PREY, HUMANS!

Noobie’s Update 3: I do not think it is happening…

I was out with the family the entire day and when I came home, the nest box was still empty.

I really do not think it is going to happen…

There is a reason for everything and maybe Noob’s feeling the pinch of the economy crisis. She’s saving up for rainy days too? LOL…

If there is any kit in there, I hope she stop “baking” them already because the nicest chocolate will turn black with so much “baking”.

Quite positive it is not gonna happen. Let’s look forward to 12th January 2009 for now.

Could she be pregnant there?

By the way, I would love to congratulate Lindsey of 4 Kings Rabbitry for having had a litter. Just got news from her. Very happy for her. Everyone seemed to be having kits except me….sob sob…LOL!

Noobie’s Update 2

It is 9 a.m., 23rd December 2008

Noobie has yet to kindle. I am starting to believe in the possibilities of false pregnancy or reabsorption of kits.

The wait continues…

Tru-Luv Luna

Luna has grown quite a lot and is almost 6 months. I especially like her short ears and her cheeks are filling in too. I only wish that she have thicker bones and broader overall.

Noobie’s Update 1

As most of you know, today 22nd December 2008 is Noobie’s due date for kindling. As at 9.38pm there is not sign of kits and Noobie is still chilling on top of her nest box. There is no way I can tell if she is pregnant until she kindles. It is too late to palpate and I have yet to master the skill of palpation.

When she had Holly Hope’s litter she was 2 days late (based on questionable date given). She was on time when Moesha and Charlyz was born. I sure hope that she is taking a little longer to bake those kits in there like how Lindsey had put it.

There is still a little hope in me that she is pregnant. LOL!

I just can’t wait looking into the heavenly sight of white fur covering little wiggly pinkies in the nest box.
