Meet Devon, an American blue! He is the first bunny to join our new rabbitry. We bought him at the Chino rabbit show today, where his brother took home Best In Show.

I took a lot of pictures of the bunnies in their travel crates. There were examples of every breed imaginable!

Although I would never want to undertake the responsibility of caring for an Angora, they sure are beautiful to look at.

Here is how you have to style your Angora:

One woman brought her spinning wheel. She told me she doesn't even have any rabbits, but she wanted to try out spinning some rabbit fiber instead of sheep's wool for a change.

I am overjoyed to bring home our splendid buck. He is 9 months old, and I know that he and Violet Hunter will make a great match when she joins the herd next week.

I had no idea there were so many different kinds of bunnies. Very neat! Your new family member looks like he’ll make a great addition to the pack.

Thanks! He is settling in nicely. I think he has never been put on pasture before! He will learn:)

So sweet.

Yay, thank you!

Perhaps we will see babies in January or February! We pick up our doe this weekend <3
