Name decisions

In my most recent Mini Rex litter, there are 4 does and 2 bucks! Not a bad buck:doe ratio at all, I am very pleased with this. I wanted more does, but where I am drastically down sizing in the breed, I don't know if I am going to be keeping any of the does from this litter. They're still too young to evaluate fully, but whatever I decide, I will have a nice batch of does to either keep or sell to people needing does!

Anyway, on with the original topic, Name decisions. So far I only have two of the babies named from this litter, the two boys. Their final names are Run Wild's Miller Time, Miller for short & Run Wild's Hollywood, Henry for short.

The girls aren't officially named yet, as I only have one name picked out for a doe for this litter, which is Rock Candy.

Little Henry isn't looking good. I went out to check on the rabbits and do the morning water routine this morning, and his bottom was caked in dried poop. It must have happened over the past 2 days, I haven't been out to the barn due to health issues and I had the boyfriend feed the rabbits for me. He doesn't check over every animal like I do every day, so I just picked up on it this morning.

His whole area was completely covered, so I gently picked it off of him and his bottom just started leaking diarrhea. I pulled the pellets away, gave them some oats and stuffed the cage full of hay. I'm hoping he pulls through alright, he is the smaller of the two bucks at the time.



Images litter is doing good, and I am already anxious to start naming these little guys. This litter will have a Celtic name theme, and I have had this planned for months now :P

Can't wait to see what colors they are and what sexes, I am crossing my fingers for does!
