Summer babies

We had two litters of angoras in July and and other just this past weekend. at four weeks old the rabbits are the sweetest little things there are. These satin angoras aren't the colors I thought they would be. When they were first born I thought they'd be opal (ended up chestnut) and lilac (ended up tort). I guess when they are hours old is too soon to determine colors.



Mom makes a nice resting spot. It couldn't have been too warm outside.


The French angoras posed a bit by the crab apple tree too. A few were more interested in the tree than in having their picture taken.
The blue angora sniffing on the apple branch feel off the grooming table, no harm done. It was very interested in the tree.

This cutie did a great job of getting it's picture taken.

Family Photos

I was set to take family photos today, but this little Charlie sure sat nice by itself.
These are the French Angoras. The Charlie was in this group. There are two blacks, three broken chocolates, one broken black and one broken blue. The broken blue looks like a panda, with big eye rings, but no butterfly so it too is a Charlie.

The Satin Angoras with two adopted French Angoras. The French on the right is a heart breaker. It has narrow rings around its eyes like a hotot and a black spot on the side of its nose.

Spring Flowers




My tort satin angora doe. Not the mother of the babies in the pictures, but she's beautiful!








Peeping out of the next box are two French angora kits fostered to my red satin doe. I think they think it's cold outside!








Here the satin kits are out of the next box, a little tort, blacks and the end of a french








The French kits all huddled up. Two broken chocolate, a broken blue, broken black and two black.










I decided to let the sheep in the orchard to eat grass, an hopefully not too many apple blossoms.









Spring has arrived. The apple trees are blooming. This is the same tree as above, what a difference a month and a half can make!
