They're here!

 Recently, I saw an ad for a herd of Frosties in KS.  After about 3 minutes thought, I contacted her and said I wanted them.  After looking at pedigrees to see that they had different genetics than I already had,  I called a good friend and asked if she had time to do a private run from KS to OH, and to quote me a price.  2 Paypals later, and they were ready to roll.  

My original thoughts had been to share the wealth with some Ohio friends who also had Frosties and had been talking about the need for new genetics, but when push came to shove, they bowed out. That was disappointing, since I had hoped for a fun day of evaluating the herd and getting help decided what ones to keep in our group.   So I talked to a few more friends I knew needed bucks or does to let them know I had something for them if they wanted them.  

So yesterday, after a wild ride from KS to OH, they arrived!   All were in good condition, eating well during the trip, and ready to munch on their hay and pellets as soon as I popped them into their new homes.  

There is a trio; 1 buck, 2 does.  Then a weaned litter of 6, a month old litter of 6, and a newborn litter of 4.  My rabbitry appears to have been invaded - never had anything but Satin Angoras in it until recently. 

The nestbox of 4-5 day old kits traveled with them, and was given to the doe twice a day to feed them.  She hopped right in as soon as they were put in her carrier.   The rest of the time, they were in a separate carrier to keep them warm &  safe from accidents.  

Munching on hay and drinking as soon as they got here.   
At every stop for gas, food, rest, they immediately started snacking. 
 This litter is a month old, and still nursing from mama. 
They traveled in the same cage with her.  

The weaned litter is 2 months old.  They traveled in pairs,
and I have them in 3 big cages with their buddy so they
won't be stressed from the trip, new surroundings, and strangers.

the nice, clean, well cared for carriers.
