I just have not felt like posting as much content lately. Been sort of in a lull. Haven't felt like chatting or feeling the normal amount of love that I do. Must be my down time. I have ups and down, but nothing as bad as bi-polar, just mainly busy doing other things. I'll try to get some more interesting content this week.
For now I'll bring you up to date on what has been happening. I have slept..a lot! I've been binging on Netflix and Amazon Prime. I had a discussion with my wife about the number of rabbits we now have. We need to find homes for them. She went to four different locations to try and sell some, but didn't have any luck. Finally she found someone who took two, out of our nine and she ended up giving us one of hers which means we now have a new male bunny. Down two, up one? Rotfl! Well, the only reason we haven't gotten rid of more is because we want owners who are interested in pets, not food. We did manage to get rid of the Californian. Sorry to see him go, but he went to a loving home and people seem to frown upon mixed breeds.
I see the logic in pure breeds, but...mixing breeds is so much fun! You never know what you're going to end up with, it's like customizing a car or your favorite..whatever thing it is you customize these days. Playing with genetics is just the next logical step in customization, right? Want a bunny with lots of fur, enjoys people, licks like a cat or dog, smart, etc? No problem. Want a rabbit in a certain color? Sure! Why not? That's customization! Pure breeds are great, but there is inherent risk in them. They tend to develop diseases and cancers easily. It's good to get some fresh genes in the mix, that's my point of view.
If I were really serious about raising new breeds, I'd start with a list of characteristics that I like and go from there. Like the Flemish rabbits, (borrowed image from the Internet)
I like the size of the Flemish rabbits, and then I would mix in what our rabbits which is a love of people and they adore licking people like a cat or dog, and so on. Genetics is fun. Anyway, that's all I have for now. We are minus two and up one. Getting there.
Much love and light,
