Interesting Facts About Quinoa...

  • Quinoa was born on January 12, 2024

  • Her parents are HCB's Genevieve (solid cream) & Sweet Tea (opal).

  • She is a beautiful opal doe.

  • She was the only baby from her litter to survive.

  • Because she was an only kit, she was fostered with our doe Pigeon.

  • Quinoa grew up with Pigeon's babies Froot Loop and Kashi, and her original name was Chex.

  • We kept Quinoa because we knew she was going to be Genevieve's last baby before being spayed and offered for placement in a loving pet home.

  • We hope she will be ready to have her first litter in September/October 2024.

  • Quinoa is a very independent and curious girl, just like her mama Genevieve.

  • Quinoa is proving to be slow to accept a buck for her first breeding, so we are giving her more time to let us know when she's ready. Generally speaking, a rabbit should be bred for the first time at six months of age, although it sounds very young. Quinoa is nearly 7.5 months old and continues to say, "No, thank you" to Finnegan's offers of wooing. She may just be waiting for Sullivan and Gumption to grow up.
