The breeding that was attempted on 4/26 did not take. Darla did not have any kits.
I was unable to go the the Big Valley Rabbit Association Rabbit Show on 5/11 because I was sick.
I am going to the Pacific West Rabbit & Cavy Show on 7/13. I am entering Darwin, Schmidt's HH Phebe (aka Sheila), Stu, and Curry's Ralph. I will try to sell Darla and Ralph at the show.
I will not be taking my rabbits to the County Fair this year. The show is not sanctioned and I don't want to stress my animals out any more than I have to.
