I'm proud to announce that White Mountain Llamas has purchased five new Angora rabbits (three bucks and two does) to use for breeding. Two brothers were purchased with similar genetics to our past litters - a chocolate and a chocolate agouti. Their names are Espresso and Apollo respectively. They are from Woolly Friends Angoras. We originally got Apollo for fiber and Espresso for breeding because we wanted to yield chocolates, fawns, and whites this year. They were born on August 12 and 13th of this year and they 100% French. We also purchased an unrelated doe that is 75% German and 25% French. She is a white and we have named her Vanilla! She was born on July 1 of this year. Vanilla came from Acres Acres Angoras, which is also where we purchased our first buck, Ethan Allen. The last two additions came from Smith Family Farm, breeder Katie Smith. We purchased a new doe, Spang's Ivy and JG's Santonio. Ivy is a 100% French Pearl Sable and Santonio is a black otter, 68.75% German, 18.75% French, and 12.5% Tan. I would highly recommend each of these rabbit breeders for rabbit and fiber related questions.
Here are some pictures of the new additions being welcomed to the herd!
See how big Ivy is! She weighs 10 and a half pounds in full fiber!
Here, she meets the herd!
Bella gets a nose full of fiber she snuffles Ivy so much!
Winny is excited to meet Tony. She is the first to greet him. She seems to say, "You're a pretty small llama, I like the ear tassels though!"
Seen above is Aurora. She is not new to us, she is actually from Dusty and Ethan's litter of 2008. Her owner did not have enough time for her and sent her back to us. She's a very sweet rabbit, has lovely color, and we will most likely use her for breeding this coming year.Below is Apollo, our three month old buck. He is a 100% French chocolate agouti. His fiber has red, brown, and gray rings in it - he is beautiful!
Here is Apollo's full brother, Espresso. We will be using him for breeding this coming season. He is a chocolate.
Here is one of the new hutches Pop helped me make this past week. Its light weight and spacious. Dust Bunny will have a place to raise a big litter this spring!
Thanks for visiting our blog! I'll get pictures of Vanilla up ASAP.
