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)
Tank's Chatter (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!

New Baby Rabbit Photos- July 2007



Hello there! Hope everybody is having a great summer and your rabbits are staying cool. Above is Tank's Hans, our newest Holland Lop buck. My mom says I always give the Holland Lops short-shrift, so that's where we start and end in today's post. Following are photos of new and available rabbits for sale:



Bacchus and M'Nyara produced two wonderful little chestnut agoutis, above.



Busy Bacchus also gave us this blue otter with Inge, (at right, not for sale, sorry!) and a black and siamese sable pair of bucks via Oseye (both available!)



Diana and Dakir gave us a sweet black doe and a REW.



Somewhere far, far back in their pedigrees, Thor (black otter) and Emma (tortoiseshell) had some himalayan-patterned relatives, as they surprised us with three himi does!




Jean-Claude and Sesheta gave us a short-eared pair of cuties- one black otter and one chestnut.



Meilyr and Kelita teamed to have our newest black otter out of his storied line, Tank's Gunter (not for sale.)




... and we'll leave off where we began, with Tank's Hans (fawn) and his orange sister with the interesting ears!

We also have several adult rabbits for sale- Tank's Aiobh (black doe,) Tank's Ilene (black otter- proven doe,) Tank's Nyosha (black- proven doe,) Tank's Ivor (sable marten buck,) Tank's Silver Dragon (silver marten buck,) and Hopperhaus' Hiram (black buck- two legs.) Photos of these rabbits can be found in the posts under this one, or I will send new ones upon request.

Thanks!
