We are very excited, we sold our first baby rabbit on Saturday! The babies are 7 weeks old now, and they are already quite large!! I made up some ads, and the only place we advertised was at the local Rotary Market - and we got a call that same day. The first question our potential buyer asked was "is there a doe"... hmm we had no idea!! So I said we'd call her back....
So Damian and I went out, and Damian caught the babies one by one, turned them pretty much upside down, and squeezed below so we could "sex them" and see what we had! Turns out that both black rabbits, and the 2 white ones with red eyes are all females and the white rabbit with black eyes is the only male.
We called back our potential buyer and she agreed to come and have a look, half an hour later we sold our first bunny!! :-)
Here are some photos of our cute rabbits :-)
The adult rabbit above (Morgana) is actually the 'aunty' not the mother, I was surprised seeing as the kits don't seem to have any tan/brown at all!
This one here shows the 'mum' Gwen :-) and interestingly just the other day when looking at the black rabbits, one of them is actually getting more brown behind his ears! It will be interesting to see how they change colour as they get older. If anyone is interested in rabbits :-) send me a message.
We are also expecting one of our Californian does to give birth between the 3rd and 6th of November... there will be pictures to follow!
