Family Portrait Day
I miss Clark terribly today while spending time in the rabbitry. I really wonder when I will be able to get another just like him. I miss his crown mostly. He has the best crown definition in my opinion. To distract myself from the sadness, I decided to take some photographs.
Have a nice Sunday everybun!

This Fred boy can pose nicely if he wants to. He doesn't do it often but when he did, it was a sight to behold!
Seem like I am not the only person having photo shoot with my furkids, the Chestnuts had a session with theirs too. Check these out:
Thanks for the photos lovebirds!

What A Pleasant Surprise!
Holland Lops are really nothing but surprises. The recent litters has been nothing but surprises and I am really excited about each and every kit in the nest boxes right now. The latest litter produced by Fred and Sibylla is such a huge surprise for me. I have expected some torts or blacks. One was black so my prediction was right. At first I thought the broken colored kit was a broken tort perhaps a darker tone. As days gone by, it seemed to look like a broken chocolate.
Why is it surprising? That brings us to the “B” gene of color genetics. Again, I turn to my favorite blog by Laurie Stroupe to get a better understanding of this gene http://www.thenaturetrail.com/BGene.htm.
Now let’s look into the history of both Fred and Sibylla.
Sibylla is the offspring of Clark and Holly Hope. Holly Hope is a lilac and Clark is a black tort which does not have any chocolate family member up 4 generations. But by breeding him to a lilac, the offspring are chocolate carrier. Sibylla is a chocolate carrier having the “Bb” gene.
Fred is the offspring of Thunder and Java. There is only a squirrel and a black otter up 4 generations. I am guessing that higher up the family tree, there could have been a “b” introduced. But it really surprises me that Fred is a chocolate carrier.
Thus, I have successfully obtain rabbits in the Chocolate Family through using rabbits from the Black Family. The probability is just too high but I am so lucky to get a little chocolate kit!

Insanely Cute!
These are all the kits that Balian sired. They are so different in many ways. The torts are total out cross while the lilac/blue are produced through line breeding.

We are currently stuck at #12 and it is a pity to give up after coming so far.
I know everyone has been waiting for photos of the cute little kits at Meadow Haven, here they are:
On the other hand, Holly Hope’s kits turned out to be blue now that I can see the color of their eyes clearly. There is no red tint on their eyes so I can confirm that they are blue instead of lilac. They are really cute and this is the first time my wife requested to name a litter. Initially I wanted to name them Toble & Rone. Since they are not lilac, I agreed to allow my wife to name them. She named them Maqique & Mystique (pronounced as Magic & Mystic). I have been warned to keep these 2 – sorry, not for sharing. LOL!

Look Familiar?
Wilma’s kits really remind me of her and her 3 siblings. This is the age when they look the cutest.
