We were very excited yesterday to see that our first-time mama, Penelope kindled 4 healthy little kits (+ 1 peanut) Sunday during church. She pulled fur and made a nice little nest and everything. We're very proud of Penelope. This is also somewhat of a landmark in the rabbitry because she is the first we bought as a junior. I suppose the next milestone will be when we are able to breed one that was born here, and I think we're getting real close with Houston...he'll turn senior in 2 days.
Speaking of Houston, we went to the Spartanburg Triple Crown last Saturday. There weren't a whole lot of people there, but it was still nice to socialize with fellow breeders. Houston placed 7th in the first and last shows (out of 11), but pulled out a 4th place in the second show...so not too bad for one from our very first litter. He sure is a sweet little thing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll offer to the herd.
