Is yogurt good for rabbits? It has lots of benefits for other animals, so I wondered about rabbits.

No, just curiosity. As I said, Bridey doesn't like me messing with her kits. I'll probably wait til they're a couple weeks old.

I'm going to try and see if I can get alum. It's supposed to be a good way to tan, and I've read that it doesn't over tan.

Yeah, and one of the stillborns was black. Don't know how that happened, both parents are NZW.

Here they are! Haven't checked today see if girls or boys yet, Bridey doesn't like me messing with them too much.

Well, my first foray into hide tanning is not so good. My acid mixture was a failure. :( The acid mixture was too strong and ate away most of the skin. What was left was mostly falling apart. I'm trying to dry it now, hoping to save what I can. When it says 5%, that's exactly what it means! My...

Have you tried hanging purple Martin gourds? And put up some bat houses as well. If you have a pond, add koi to it. Guinea hens are really good about eating bugs too!

Bridey is pulling fur! Went to feed /water everyone and exploded rabbit everywhere! You'd think she'd be bald! I put two different boxes for her, I figured she could take her pick. Fingers crossed, these babies make it! Also Barley is hanging out in her hutch. She has plenty of food and water...

I've got the rest of the feet in the alcohol now. I thawed and scraped the hides Thursday, and put them in the battery acid mixture Friday. I'm only doing a few at a time. Six hides is all for this first time. Be at least a week before they're ready for the drying part.

Mmmmmm! Liver!
