"Bards" Forget me not gose by Fomo around the rattery. Shes a very good girl. Lovely Blue Berkshire Velveteen Dumbo Standard Doe. She looks like a carbon copy of her mom, just with lighter bones and more confidence. We expect her to have her first litter by Edwin come late this April.
Breeding doe
"JBOS’s Snowdrop”
Verigated Agoutie Velveteen Dumbo
Take Charge, but she's super sweet. She's not as pushy as some girls can be; she's just happy to be a leader. She got her name due to the great teardrop marking on her forehead. She's a lighter-boned doe but has a lovely face we hope our Standard Line will benefit from. She will be joining Bard Rattery sometime in April. We plan her first pairing to be in quarter 3 with BJ.

Cirrus is a Powder Blue Blaze Verigated Harly Dumbo. Hes only 53 grams. We adore him to bits and are so excited to have him in our Micro program. Due to his Harley coat, we've
noticed he has some protein issues and plan
to take Harley out of the Dwarf and Micro lines and pull it into our standard lines where there have been no known issues with protein for this line of Harley. He is perfect, otherwise super handleable. We love him to bits and hope he does great helping us in our microprogram.

"Bards Eggs on the Side". Edger is the son of Bruno and Bunny, and our 4th generation! Hes a bright eyed friendly and easygoing boy who really loves his dad and wants to be Edwin's best friend more than anything. There even the same age (only 7 days difference). Despite Edwin's rejection he wants to be everyone friend. His first breeding will most likely be to Queenie for her second litter sometime in the winter. He was Retired early due to his pushy and grumpy old man personality. We decided it wasn't best for the lines to have him breed more and pulled him in favor of his son Icon who is much more like his grandfather.

"Bards Sage" is Daughter of Queenie and Bruno, we found an unexpected favorite in Sage. Sage was an energetic doe with loads of playful exuberance! We paired her with Edwin, not sure of what she would produce, and she produced one of our favorite litters. We bred her again to Edwin and produced another banger litter; at her current age, we decided that was it and won't be breeding her again despite how much we love her and Edwin's pairings.be having their first litters in April. She retired spring of 2024.
Our first breeder doe this girl was a firecracker, vocal and playful she put the Mis in Mischief. She destroyed yards of fabric making her nest for her 15 babies 14 of whom made it to adulthood. She was on loan from another breeder for the litter and returned home with 3 sons and 2 daughters to her home breeder.

(Active May 2021 to Jan 2022)
Matt Is our founder buck. He Was the sweetest thing on the planet, always full of kisses, sometimes picking cuddles over treats. He was also well known for his "potato" time where he sits with us snuggled up and relaxed. He was Retired in January 2022 after falling ill suddenly with pneumonia.
He had a great few months with us after that!
At the start of April he developed hind leg degeneration. We moved him to an easier to navigate cage. His decline was sudden, and painless but clear. It was time. He was only going to get worse. We put an end to his pain before it started to become unbearable.
He fell asleep in my arms happy till the end
Retired Breeding Buck
Matt's son, Stormy is a sweetie, incredibly friendly, and easy to handle. Out of all 14 of his siblings, he turned out to be the best buck to add to our breeding program. He's very sweet and easily food motivated. Hes the father of our prolific buck Bruno.
Suddenly in August he started to decline physically and mentally, he spent his last days sleepily in the cage till he passed.
Born June 2021 - Passed August 2023
Retired Breeding Buck
Almost an entirely self black rex, Matt's son Hugo has amazing conformation and he knows it. His attitude is palpable and he's the first to dive for food. This chubmonster will add some good diversity to our lines.
After his brother passed we noticed the same decline in him, we think he wanted to be with his brother.
