The dwarfs were quite busy when I took this video. I was a bit concerned they may be able to get through the bars. They may still yet. But, as long as we keep the door closed they can’t get very far. It’s a good thing the door opens outward.

This is how busy she was this morning. I kinda thought she may be nasty, but after watching closely she only had the munchies. She didn’t look miserable at all this morning. That changed in big hurry.

I’ve been fascinated by her coloring since I brought her home. She’s such a snuggle bug normally. She doesn’t mind a couple gentle strokes on her side at this point. But, I try not to disrupt her serenity right now. Her babies should have pretty interesting coloring with Heath being the father.

I have a momma rabbit who is definitely hit the late stage in pregnancy of “When is this going to be over? I’ve had enough.” stage. I’m not sure if it was my imagination tonight. But, she grew noticeably in the last 8 hours. This is what she looked like earlier today. This was tonight. This...

This is the type of dog kennel she’s in. I had to take the dwarfs out and put them elsewhere. I will find a nesting box and a litter box for her. I’m really hoping she hasn’t kindled this early. But she sure looked really content with her new setup. .

Im expecting my very first ever litter of baby bunnies on Saturday. Being from Wisconsin we are having colder than usual temps. It only takes about an hour for the animal water dishes to start freezing over. I decided it might be too cold and drafty in our barn/shed for Ginger to have her...

Im keeping my fingers crossed as far as baby bunnies goes. This could be a really interesting weekend. Ive never had brand new baby bunnies before. Im gonna be doing some quick reading these next couple of days.

Me too on both accounts. We have our netherland dwarf bunnies in our warming shack. Im going to move Ginger in there as well so her babies dont freeze, provided she has babies and they survive. I know shes kinda geriatric mom like i was when i had my daughter. I guess well have to wait and see.

This Saturday may be a very interesting day. We are expecting a guy to come to our farm to buy 6-7 piglets from us. The really exciting thing to likely happen on Saturday as well is we are expecting our first littler of baby bunnies. Im not 100% certain shes pregnant. Just pretty sure. Heres...

No, I meant you, you wise old bird. I did post it in a general forum as well.

we have found a nice deal on silage. We were wondering if it would be a good thing to feed some or all of our pigs. We have feeders that we want to put weight on. We have young breeding stock that’s less than a year. The two gilts in this group are pregnant. Then we have pigs nearly two years...

:lol::lol: That’s funny. I hadn’t even thought of that. I have a question for you. Can pigs be fed silage? We found a really good deal on it. Just wondering if it’s something we can use.

Today has been a fun and interesting day. We are on our way to get these cute little Netherland Dwarfs this very minute. We know that three of them are definitely girls. We will be sexing the other two when we get to their farm. We had tried putting our little buck in with the rabbit we had...

Piper and poodle seem to have a visual challenge. I’ve never seen such big ears that covered the eyes of their pig. :lol:

I love the sugarmtnhills site. I’m going to have fun digging around in it. I going to look into blogs. I have no clue about them other possibly being similar to an online journal of sorts. It might be something to think about doing. I have two Facebook groups/pages where I’m documenting the life...

Yes, supporting a lifestyle is quite desirable after we are done punching time clocks. But knowing we could survive with....if .....we’re to happen is the ultimate security in my mind. I have no problem with a meager existence, but the thought of starving to death and homelessness scares the...

:loveI just LOVE this site.:love I’m gaining so many ideas, tips, and information from everyone in here. As long as we keep enough animals put in OUR freezer, fridge, pantry, and on OUR table we should be able maintain a frugal and adequate existence. Jim and I both have so many skills to draw...

Great websites. Thank you for helping me find a starting in my research.

That is a really great idea. There is a possibility that our primary animal to raise being pigs. We really love them. And we have already hit the break even point in what we are raising. The next hope is to make a little money off of them. I’ve been thinking about the goats. I’ve had many ideas...
