Here are a few pictures of my new Netherland Dwarfs.
RD's William - BEW Brood Buck
Tinsel (haven't received his pedigree yet, so am not sure about who he is out of) Very nice little BEW show buck. He just turned Sr. and is only 1.4 lbs.
RD's Spearmint - very pretty little BEW show doe
RD's Peppermint - BEW Show doe
Loupe's Dancer ( you know, one of Santa's reindeer ;) ) - VM doe
On the larger side, but nice type.

Summer Heat!
The temperature rose to 103 degrees today. Thankfully, between the frozen water bottles and fans the rabbits have not had any problems with it, but I sure am looking forward to this fall, when it cools down a bit and the rabbit shows start back up!

More Kits
Alice delivered 3 more kits this morning. The three kits had crawled out of her cage and were on my rabbitry floor, chilled. I took them inside and heated them up in warm water. Two of them look great, but one of them is not doing as well. I gave one of them to Noel and the other two to Alice. That will give Alice and Noel both 10. Hopefully the kits will do okay competing with the larger and older kits for milk. I will probably take the three of the out once a day for the first few days and put them on Alice to make sure that they get milk.

Kit Updates
Alice's kits are now 13 days old, Brianna's kits are 10 days old and Noel's kits are 8 days old. Alice's kits have all opened their eyes, and so have the 4 out of Brianna's litter.
I rebred Brianna to Tyler a week ago. She kept turning her nestbox over, trying to liberate her kits. I tried taking the nestbox out at night and only putting it in with her in the morning to nurse, but sadly I lost two of them to the cold. After that I tattooed a small dot in each of the kits ears and fostered three of them to Alice and the other one to Noel. Hopefully the tattoos will not fade and I will be able to tell which ones were Brianna's by the time they are weaned.
I was worried about how Noel would do with hers. She is a first time doe with 9 kits of her own and one foster kit. She has done excellent with them though. It is amazing how FAT they are!
I have been handling each of the kits every day in the hopes that when they get bigger, they will be easier to teach to stay still and hold a pose. I have even started taking each of Alice's kits out to pose them. There are actually a few of them that will stay in their pose! The others will stay still for a second, but then start trying to explore.
It is way to early to tell which ones will be show quality, but hopefully by the time it is, they will all be able to hold a pose.

Silver Marten Baby Pictures
Silver Marten History
The first Silver Martens were developed in the 1920's. Standard Chinchilla breeders had introduced Tan bloodlines into the breed in the hopes of improving color and pattern. This resulted in the tan pattern genes being carried on in the offspring. The Chinchilla genes affected the tan coloring in the offspring causing it to turn silver. Some of the correctly colored kits were saved and line bred. These black and silver colored rabbits were named Silver Martens in 1924 and the standards were written for the blacks and chocolates in 1927. The blues were accepted in 1929 and the sables were accepted in 1933.
Silver Martens have a very sweet temperament and make great pets.
