Farewell Skor, You’re Always My Boy

My last chance to trance Skor...

With the heaviest of heart, I bid farewell to my favorite boy Skor. He shall begin his life as a very pampered pet Holland Lop with his new owner. Like any other goodbyes, the only consolation for me is that my boy Skor is promised a good home.

Good teeth

I am very grateful that his new owner has contacted me and shown much interest. I count my lucky stars each time someone approaches me for my rabbits and it clicks right away. There are many things we feel with our 5 senses but there are certain things that we sense with our heart – SINCERITY & HONESTY.

Clean vent

His 4 digit tattoo

Skor has done his bit in providing us a few of his offspring that has brighten up a few homes with their antics and unconditional love.

My only wish is that, he will live his life to the fullest and enjoy every single day hence forth!

Go make me proud Skor boy!

Another one to miss...

Day 35: Mini Holland Lops Anyone?

My wife told me that she likes kits at this age because they are small and cute. The 2 kits are exactly 5 weeks today and they are 1/4 the size of mommy.

Can’t believe that in another 3 weeks they will be weaned off mommy. Here are some photos taken of them today.

Mooruku's side profile

Mooruku either having a tight crown or short ears. Either way I'm keeping her for the breeding program!

Papadoom's side profile

I hope this buck and replace Skor. Right now the ears are a little long in my opinion.

On the other hand, besides from their sizes, what I like most about kits at this age is the size of their poops! They are also 1/4 the size of adult bunny poop. Don’t believe me? Check this out…

Told ya'll so!

Day 32: Thankful

Whenever I loose a litter of kits, looking at successful litters do give me the motivation to keep on working with this breed. Mooruku and Papadoom has grown so much now. In another 2 weeks they will be weaned off mommy’s milk. Mooruku wasn’t too cooperative posing for me this evening. Nonetheless, here they are:

Still having ear control

Cute eh?

Depth of chest for sure. Hope it stays that way!

Chestnuts Visit!

Today TLR is very honored to have a very special couple visiting and taking photographs of the rabbits. As I have mentioned many times before, friends are the most important part of this hobby and along the way, I must say that I do not have many friends in this hobby but those that I have the privilege to befriends with are very special to me. I really appreciate the CHESTNUTS dropping by Meadow Haven. I do hope they both enjoy their short stay here (wasn’t that short actually). Love the chat. If you like what you see, please visit their site and hire them at http://www.chestnutpictures.com/. I highly recommend them to everyone! Although I watermarked the photos with TLR, they are the rightful owner of these photos and due credit must be given to them.

Thank you Chestnuts and I am sure my dear readers will be very happy to see these beautiful photos!

Carmel:

I have been asked which is my favorite rabbits among all that I have. My heart is normally partitioned equally among all living things that I care for. But there is a little bit more for this wonderful doe. She’s AMAZING! Adesh and Shahfiq had fun capturing her on stills. Take a look at all the poses that she could come out with. Absolutely adorable!

_MG_0977

Moving Along

Have decided to let Skor move on to a pet home. Interested & loving person/people please drop me an email at truluvrabbitry@gmail.com. Though I have a long waiting list, I want to find a perfect fit for him.

It was his birthday yesterday. Born on 10th November 2006 so that makes him 3 years old.

Day 22: Celebrating Life & Friends

Over the weekend, there was a interesting  debate over a nasty comment over at https://truluvrabbitry.com/2009/09/18/postpartum-psychosis-bunny-owner/. I normally do not patronize childish and outrageous comments but I just need to approve the 1st comment because I just need to show how someone rear its ugly head. Go on and enjoy the comments while we’re at it.

I believe there is a reason for everything and what raises above all these dramas, is the fact that I have a lot of good friends in the Holland Lop world. I absolutely love each and every one of them. They are the reason why I am loving this hobby even more. Let me choose between rabbits and friends, I’ll go for friends ANYTIME! Rabbits come and go but friendships last forever.

To celebrate my friends in thanksgiving, I would like to dedicate these photos to each and every one of my friends. Thank you so much for being there for me and encouraging me!
