Newborn Tortoiseshell Baby Bunny



Hillside Farm Hawaii
In The Nest Box

September 7th, 2023



This is our "In The Nest Box" page, which is sort of a preview for the "Available Bunnies" page. Check the dates to see if the pages have been updated lately. I'll always put a date on the top of the page so you will have a hint as to if the page is anywhere near current or not. There's just me for updating the web pages so it doesn't happen nearly as frequently as it should.




There may be some bunny meet ups in late October or November, but at the moment there aren't any expected litters. Should there be any of these bunny meet ups in late October or November, there still wouldn't be any litters until late November or December. Then any babies would need time to grow so nobunny would be ready to go to a new home until late January or February of next year.

If and when there are possible upcoming litters, I will hopefully get them noted here on the website. We do need more white bunnies since we're always short on the creamy white 'Coconut Dream' color of Hula Bunny yarn. Blue has also been an elusive color for the past few years although blue doesn't have it's own yarn color. Hula Bunny yarn gets it's color from the bunnies so the specific bunny color does matter with the herd here.

Other factors what go into choosing which bunny meets up with whom, has to do with the quality of the fiber. We're always trying for silky soft fiber and a low maintenance coat. Proper body structure as per the ARBA's SOP. Or for those of you who don't follow the bunny world shorthand, the American Rabbit BreedersAssociation's Standard Of Perfection. Seems a little arrogant to me that someone would think they can make a list of 'perfection', but that's what they call it. We do try to get the bunnies to conform to most of it since a good body conformation is helpful for healthy bunnies.




Hopefully more added tomorrow, it's almost midnight now



Just a side note, anyone who is raising rabbits - or any other livestock for that matter - and wants a great database, check out 'Kintracks'. It's really goood to have data and details on the whole herd when making decisions.
