Rabbits

Soooooo, we raise rabbits for meat.  We lost our buck earlier this winter (everyone was sad because he was the friendliest rabbit ever), so I had to acquire a new buck.  This one is a blue Silver Fox, about 9 months old.  The highlight of my day today was seeing him get 3 falloffs his first doe in under 3 minutes.  And he didn't even grunt, much less scream (you haven't heard anything til you hear a breeding buck rabbit that is a screamer).  He only went for the wrong end once, and very quickly figured it out for himself, so I didn't have to interfere at all.  (As great as the previous buck was, he often went for whatever end or side of the doe was closest, and too much of that and an irritated doe will bite).

Now I just have to wait 30 days to see if any of my black Silver Fox does carry blue, or if I'll have to wait a generation to get more.

That's your rabbit porn for the day.  Carry on.

I could use a good falloff. The screamer, I could do without. 
 

BTW: Did you eat the non-piggy? 

The non-piggy is in the freezer awaiting my attention later this week, or Sunday, depending on how many other emergencies I have to deal with between now and then, lol

SO when Buck died did you eat him or was he to much of a pet for that?

He was way too much of a pet to eat.  (Well, I would have eaten him, but the kids would have been REALLY UPSET if I had, so I decided it wasn't worth it.  Also, he was nearly 5 years old and wouldn't have been remotely tender...)

You treat your Buck this good Mrs. C ?? :anim_lol:

 

OMG NO.  He lived outside, and while he was handled regularly, he would have shredded me  if I'd flipped him on his back like that, much less laid him in a sink full of water!
