Taking care of the rabbits in the winter is a lot of work. It's cold out and their water freezes, you have to worry about them being warm enough and it's harder to keep things clean etc. The one nice thing though is that your rabbits can grow some really thick wool. Such is the case with Evan Almighty. I haven't done much grooming since the New Year's Eve show. Yesterday I noticed that he was a puff ball of wool. Today I brought him in for a grooming session. He cleans up nice. He also sits still while I brush and blow his coat which is a plus. I've had him at many shows. He won Best of Breed last fall. Most of the judges don't like him-he places 2nd or 3rd most of the time. His wool is on the soft side and lacks texture. That's probably why he doesn't do well. I will probably breed him to a doe with nice texture and they will have nice babies.
