First Post

Greetings from Central Texas!

Finally, you say, it's about time there is no more obnoxious "Test Post" repeating the words "Rabbit Tank Rabbitry" over and over again. Things have been going ok in Valley Mills so far in 2007. Our rabbits are healthy and the babies we've had have been nice. Our production rate hasn't been stellar, so we are making a switch from Petrus rabbit feed to the 16% protein Pen Pals variety. I think this will be a positive change; our friend Ann Ward at Award's Rabbitry in OKC like it and has quite a bit of success.

Out of our most recent breedings, we've kept:

- Two chinchilla ND does, Sisele and Sadhbh from Tank's Domhnall and Tank's Oseye (chinchilla father, siamese sable mom.)

- Two black ND does, Nyosha and M'nyara from Tank's Dakir and Emma from Robert Caldwell's rabbitry (black buck (pictured at right on this blog,)tort doe.)

- One chesnut doe, Diana from Tank's Meilyr and Tank's Olympia (black otter sire, chestnut dam.)

I'll post more photos both on our Gallery on the main site as well as the very blog you're now reading. Looking forward to our next breeding on May 1, those Maypoles will be spinning ;-) I'll post those combos soon as well.

We have several ND and HL rabbits for sale in a variety of colors, more details to come. E-mail me with interest, rabbittank at grandecom dot net.
