New Cages!

New Cages, finally! I've been quite slowly, but surely, updating our rabbitry equipment. I've coveted these cages from Kammalop Specialties Rabbit Supplies, for quite some time; however, I had no way of bringing them back from Kansas. Well, Dwight, came to Belton, Texas for the Lop Nationals and was gracious enough to bring them for me. I bought 9 holes, total, of 30X30X18. I am extremely happy with these cages. They are big for my rabbits, have big door, which will help me take out the rabbits without a fuss. They are 3 tiered, fully assembled and of excellent material. They come with the gray Duratrays. I cannot wait to place my bunnies in there. Now, I need to insulate the huge shed we have, place a few more electrical outlets, the new air conditioner unit, new doors, and voila! The shed will be ready to accommodate all my bunnies, right in time for the hot summer months! I will purchase more cages, soon, as my budget allows me to. Picture below is sideways:

Ugh! Allergies!

The weather in San Antonio, Tx, is horrible for allergy sufferers. The mold, mountain cedar, and Lord know what else in the air count is super high! I have been feeling stuffy, have congestion, and my eyes are dry as can be. I wonder if the pollen, mold, etc., affect the rabbits? My rabbits seem to be doing well, thus far, which is great since by the time I get home, I place a mask on my face to cover my nose and mouth, and go check up on them. Usually, John, my youngest son, has already fed and watered the rabbits--he is SO helpful when I'm ill--this helps me tremendously, as I just tend to get home, make supper, bathe and head to bed. I am able to hit my REM Sleep in a jiffy! I am glad that I clipped all my rabbits this past Sunday to prepare for breeding and due to the weather change. I'm glad they are all comfortable without their coats. Now, I just need to keep my spinning frenzy, but feeling ill does not let me do much. Okay, too much rambling. I need to get going...

wonderful time at SARBA Show

On Saturday, we went to the SARBA Spring Show in Seguin, Texas. We had a wonderful time being around our friends. I was so excited to see so many angoras! There were the English--of course, and then the Satins, and even the French! I need to get some pictures this coming week, but suffice to say that the BOB in the Angoras were: Sasha McPherson -- BOB English Angora Dana -- BOB Satin Angora Linda Franke -- BOB French Angora It was a great show.

San Antonio Rabbit Breeders Assoc., Show

SARBA is having its Spring Show on Saturday, March 26, 2010!
I had not had a chance to post about it. I will be attending the show and visiting with my rabbit breeder friends and helping out at the Judge's table.

Hope to see you all there!
