Sweet Tart & Joshua's Baby
Born July 4, 2019
Just when we thought Sweet Tart had missed conceiving this month, she surprised us with two kits. One is quite a bulldozer, while the other is petite by comparison. Because of their day of birth, they are going to be called Liberty and Patriot.
7/6/2019....Update...Sweet Tart's smaller baby, Patriot, wriggled away from the warmth of his/her litter mate and died during the night. :(
7/12/19...Little Liberty is doing great. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a broken sable point. In some light it looks a tad blue-ish, but we will wait a bit longer for clarity. It's a very cute little Bun, regardless. :)

Tabitha & Joshua's Babies
Born June 14, 2019
Tabitha's very first litter was surprisingly successful. There are four wee ones, all kindled safely in the nest box with absolute efficiency. There are two chubby, healthy kits, one definite peanut, and one that could be a peanut or a runt. We should know in a few days and will post pictures at that time. :)
June 17, 2019...Tabitha is keeping her babies well-fed. The two small peanut babies are still holding on, but they still know the warmth, love, and comfort of their mama and litter mates. It looks like both of the healthy kits are going to be broken black babies, which are always beautiful!
June 19, 2019...Both of the peanut babies passed away in the past 36 hours. We hate that part of breeding dwarf rabbits. :( Instead of two broken black babies, we have a broken black and a broken chestnut. Tabitha is being a very devoted mother and we are proud of her. :)
June 26, 2019...New pictures have been added. The broken black is a little chunk of a bun, while the chestnut is slightly more petite. Eyes are just beginning to open. :)
July 10, 2019...Enjoy the video of these two little sweeties! If the chestnut is a doe, we MAY hold on to her. I'm loving the ears and wide head on that little Bun. If its type changes or it turns out to be a buck, both babies will be available.
July 12, 2019 update...The little ones finally have names, genders and pictures! LOL. Both are does. The little chestnut is called Nutmeg and the broken black is FlipFlop. The lighting wasn't quite right when I took the photos, so I ended up posting only a few photos, but at least they finally have updated photos. :)

Molly & Little Boy Blue's Babies
Born June 3, 2019
This was a surprise litter. We knowingly bred Molly and LBB, but we didn't think she had conceived, so I was quite taken aback when Molly actually kindled because she hadn't shown any interest in her nest box, nor had she shown any signs of being pregnant. Molly actually kindled 5 kits, but one was stillborn. The fact that she has four living kits in her very first litter is amazing and she has been taking very good care of them.. There is one smaller baby that we are keeping an eye on, but it seems to have a chubby milk belly after feeding time, so we are praying for a good outcome. :)
6/11/19 Update...The babies are growing well. The little runt seems to be holding its own. It appears we have three broken sable points and a broken blue.
June 17, 2019...There appears to be a problem with one of Molly's babies. It looks as though it was injured in some way and is having a difficult time moving it's right hip and leg, and I am concerned it has a spinal injury. The fact that it is one of the largest in the litter and has never had issues until now makes me wonder if Molly somehow injured it during one of her leaps into or out of the nest box. I will observe it carefully while we wait for our appointment with the vet, but I have a sinking feeling that it is going to need to be put down. :( The other babies are doing very well. I will post new photos as soon as we know what to do about the injured baby.
June 21, 2019..We still have four babies in this litter, but I can't tell you how it's going to turn out. We may have a special needs baby on our hands, or it may grow up to be perfectly fine, but "Wonky Bunny" as we call it, has too much life and determination to give up. It's head is a bit turned to one side, but it manages to scuttle along quite well and pushes its litter mates aside when they're in the way. Wonky Bunny is the little broken sable point pictured by itself in the third row down. It has the narrow stripe of sable coloring down the back. In looking back at the second row of photos, substantial bruising is visible along the back and neck area, and even the smallest sable point appears to have a bit of bruising, as well. My theory is still that the mama Bun Molly landed in the wrong spot in the nest box when she hopped in. I'm a sucker for the underdog, so am rooting that all turns out well, and that another person with a heart for special needs Buns will come forward and volunteer to take the little one when we find out what, if any, challenges he/she will be facing. We're cautiously optimistic because there's no slowing this little Bun down. :) The other bunnies are doing great, too. The little broken blue looks grumpy because someone else keeps waking it up.
June 26, 2019...The little Buns are so stinking cute! The broken sables all have incredibly perfect butterfly markings across their noses. Except for the different ear angles, I can't tell one from the other when looking at their faces. The smallest one, whom we have nicknamed "Nugget" kept photo bombing, so we had to delete a lot of them. Nugget has a lot of energy at this point. LOL Wonky Bunny is doing great and was trying to climb up the back of the chair where we took the pictures, so there's no slowing that little Bun down. The one ear up, one ear down look has solidified its HCB name as Wonky Bunny, poor thing. I love the patterns on the broken blue's ears...they look like blue marble, so we are calling him/her "Marble" for now. That leaves "Other Bunny". Other Bunny has the most sable coloring on the sides, but you wont be able to tell much from the pictures because Nugget kept photo-bombing him/her. Other Bunny had a grumpy expression today, so we didn't want to push our luck and try for more pictures. Hopefully by the next round of photos, Other Bunny will have a proper HCB name of his/her own.

Matilda & Joshua's Babies
Born May 27, 2019
Matilda was prepared for her kits early on. She nested on May 16th, and was ready to go. We were thrilled that she had such a nice litter of five this time around, as she is an older girl and had only one baby in her previous litter. The two broken black kits are considerably smaller than the others.
5/31/19 Update... We lost one of the broken black kits and the other isn't looking too good. We are doing everything we can to help. It appears we have one broken black, a broken chestnut, a solid black, and two solid blue babies (one is a vienna marked baby!) in this litter. Nice, easy colors to figure out, for a change. :D
June 1, 2019...Today the other broken black baby died. :( The remaining four babies are fat and sassy, so we hope this will be the last of the sad news to share for a while.
June 11, 2019...New pictures of the quickly growing kits have been posted. They are all doing incredibly well and are already developing their unique temperaments. Their eyes are fully opened and, while they have not yet climbed out of the nest box, they are beginning to explore a bit more every day.
June 17, 2019...The kits are starring in their first video today! We also updated a plethora of new photos of them today, so enjoy! They turned three weeks old today and will be ready to go home in five more weeks. :)
June 25, 2019...New pictures (green background) and they are so grown up now! at four weeks and one day. :) They are beautiful and sweet. A couple are developing a bit more spunk, while two are a bit more timid and cautious. I took a gender peek, but will wait another week before announcing because a couple were not conclusive just yet.
July 4, 2019...We just wanted to announce the genders and HCB names of Matilda's litter. The broken chestnut is a fuzzy buck my daughter started calling Putt-Putt Fluffy Butt. (Don't ask...it's an 11 year-old girl thing.) The solid blue is also a buck who is being called Hiccup. The solid black is a little doe we are calling Ivy. The Vienna marked blue is a little doe who is being referred to as Raindrop. All four of the kits of very similar temperament; we are calling them very adaptable middle of the road bunnies at this point. That basically means that they are equally playful and curious, with the ability and desire to settle down and snuggle nicely. The variations should become more noticeable in the next week or so, but these little ones are very sweet and friendly, so will be wonderful blessings to their new families. :)

Tootsie & Little Boy Blue's Babies
Born May 27, 2019
Tootsie kindled five kits early in the morning. Sadly, one was stillborn, but the others look nice and healthy. Tootsie is already returning to her normally sweet-natured self after spending the last three weeks growling and lunging at me every time I reached into her cage. Got to love those pregnancy hormones. LOL
5/30/19 Update...Tootsie's smallest kit died during the night. It appears Tootsie may have bruised it badly when hopping into or out of the nest box. Poor little baby. :( The other kits look very well-nourished, with fat, bulging bellies. Color-wise, I'm guessing sable point, black, and blue.
6/11/19 Update...New pictures of the bright-eyed babies! I just realized that, other than not having a solid blue baby, Tootsie's litter is a carbon copy of her daughter Dulcie's first litter with Twilight, Luna, Dusk, and Midnight. Tootsie and Little Boy Blue have solid babies in black, sable point, and blue point. They are doing very well and are utterly adorable.
June 17, 2019...The babies are three weeks old today! They are doing beautifully and have new pictures and a video to prove it. :)
June 19, 2019...We had some dear friends visit us today, although I think they mainly came to visit the baby Buns! LOL The babies are basking in the loving attention showered upon them by the O. Family. It was a wonderful day.
June 26, 2019...We love how these babies are growing up! They seem to have the best traits of their sire, Little Boy Blue, and their dam, Tootsie. We are considering retaining one for our rabbitry, but will not make that decision for a while longer as we want to be certain of genders and temperament first.
July 3, 2019...Written update (no pictures today, perhaps tomorrow.) We have given the babies their Hot Cross Buns names and are ready to reveal the genders. The little black is a buck and we are calling him Mystery. He is a wonderful blend of being playful, cautiously curious, gently nurturing, and happy. He is the mid-range Bun on activity in Tootsie's litter. Mystery was uneasy around our dogs when they began to bark, so he may do best in a dog-free home. Enigma, the smokey blue who is either a smoke pearl or a smutty blue point, is a little doe. She is the quiet observant Bun. We hope to learn more about what makes this little girl tick but, for now, she is something of an enigma, hence her new name. :) Puzzle is the sable point buck. He is the go-getter, high activity, curious busy-bunny of the family. He climbs on toys, people, stands on his hind legs, and studies everything, as though trying to solve a puzzle. They are all doing well and will be listed early next week, when we will begin contacting the people on our waiting list.
