Silver Fox Litter Arrives

Well another litter of Silver fox rabbits were born this week on the Homestead. That makes three new litters again. Silver fox rabbits are such awesome rabbits. They are Great Moms who know what to do and how to take care of their kits. Most people think that nature just knows what to do, but that is not necessarily true. And even over breeding in-line breeding can ruin a good breed. We have had does that just don’t have a clue or worse yet cannibalize their young. Sad to say those does don’t last long on the homestead.

But it is such fun to watch the kits grow. Before you know it their eyes open up and they start jumping all around. Jumping in and out of their nest box and bothering Mom unmercifully. They are just this handful of fur and so soft.

Anne is growing up so fast. She still likes to jump around a bit but she is acting more and more the grown up Goat! Hopefully Starbuck, our pride and joy, will be doing his job and we can expect kids in the spring. That will be so much fun to have kids jumping around and blatting continually. LOL.

Hope to be able to figure out how to get some pictures uploaded here to share with you. But as it is on the homestead, it is time to do chores, let the Hens run around before the sun sets and take care of the bugs! I think we have to work on the milking parlor as well. Hoping that is completed before the first snow flies here. We sure are cutting that project close this year.

Winter…I am so not ready for it, didn’t seem like we even had summer. Well off to the barns I go.
