Pink Moon- TIME FOR OUR SPRING BREEDING!



The full moon each April is known as Seed Moon, Waking Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon and Pink Moon, per the Farmer's Almanac.

"This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."

I like that. Our rabbits certainly sprung springish last night & this morning- I think this may be the fastest breeding ever in the history of ever at The Rabbit Tank! Here's the rundown:

Thomas' Mr. A (black) to:
Tank's Nico (himi)
Tank's Sapphire (choc. chin)

Tank's Bacchus (opal) to:
Tank's Eris (black otter)
Tank's Habiba (black)

Tank's Milkshake (REW- yay,'Shake!) to:
Tank's Oseya (sable)
Tank's Tizaqueena (chocolate)

Tank's Dunkirk (chin) to:
Tank's Liberty (chestnut)
Tank's Karolina (himi)

Tank's Hjalmir (black otter)to:
Tank's Rashida (chocolate)
Tank's Sesheta (black otter)

Tank's Jupiter (chocolate himi) to:
Tank's Shiara (black)

Our goals include producing a quality black buck, does of all colors but especially black otter & agouti patterns and, as always, fun colored coats on quality animals!
