I keep a shovel in the rabbit zone, and the grabber stays on a hook by the door so I take it with me when I need to go out to the rabbit zone and hang it up when I get back. I might order a second one for the barn when that gets built.

Lol, I dunno if you'd be able to see what you're trying to grab at that distance. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be long enough when I ordered it, but it has worked out well. The snake is either going to be coiled up, where they can (rattlesnakes) strike about 1/2 their length, or...

This is the one I bought, definitely worth it and seems very sturdy. I need to post a review...

It depends on where you are. My parent's property is also in the "rattlesnake zone" but they have only seen a snake a handful of times in the 30+ years at the property. It also probably is dependent on what kind of animal activity you have. My mom has an active large dog, who loves chasing the...

I wonder if it's legal to try to sell parts off it? Hubby is going to try to tan one of the skins but we've just been tossing the bodies for the scavengers.

Yeah, I tossed the head down into the lower field area but MIL thinks I should have kept better track of there it ended up. I thought the venom would leave the head over time as the critters and bugs got at it, but MIL seems to think it would still be dangerous even after time passes. Anyone...

Oh, and my phone turned itself off shortly after my last post and refused to turn back on. Spent over 2 hours at the phone store after work and now I have a new phone. Still getting used to it. The last rattlesnake was actually one of the biggest I've seen so far, and I found it just after...

Not so positives: My dad passed after a decade long fight with Parkinson's My mom's surgery was unsuccessful and she has to have further surgery. Cancer sucks. Hubby's grandfather passed away Bunny barn still not purchased or built Unable to find where I hid the title or roof rack keys for...

A lot has happened since July. Life kinda sucks right now but we are trying to focus on the positives and keep moving forward. Positives: New to us minivan Munchkin 2 turned one! Munchkin 1 will be starting daycare/preschool soon The weather is finally starting to cool down Over half the...

The buns spill food so that has attracted rats and ground squirrels. I think I got the rats to go away but the ground squirrels are persistent. The rattlesnakes are attracted to the rodents and keep hanging out in the zone. I don't go out there unless I am wearing my high boots and now I have...

Both pretty buns let me pet them, although they were quite grumpy with me chasing them with the camera phone trying to get a good picture. The normal fur one feels softer than a regular normal fur rabbit. Rex fur: Normal fur, with molting Mohawk: Both: Lefty and the nine. Four kits are...

We are up to 5 rattlesnakes killed in the rabbit/former garden zone. First group of 10 bunnies (3 litters) still doing good, pretty sure they're over 8 weeks, need to weigh and butcher soon. Two of the kits in Parsley's litter are pretty, almost thinking they are the same color except one has...

First group of baby bunnies (10) are doing well, second group keep popcorning out of the nest boxes. Willow daughter has 8 and is doing fantastic, Lefty had 7, lost 1 at birth and lost a runt last night. The remaining 5 are doing well. Last two does are due today and one already pulled fur.

Second one this week! Last one was smaller, didn't get a picture though. Both found inside the bunny shelter.

Played around with the baby bunnies again today, the two light bunnies I think might be the same color, just one has regular fur and one has rex fur. The other two kits in that litter look rex, an opal and a castor. The litter with two kits looks like a chestnut regular fur and castor rex...

Eyes are open and bunnies have escaped the nest boxes. Almost at peak cuteness age. I wasn't expecting white kits, recessive genes can be fun. Pictures are all the same litter.

We have baby bunnies! Willow, Sage, and Parsley kindled. They all look like small litters. :( Maple-daughter and Juniper haven't kindled yet, not sure if they took.

Spent 4-5 hours in the garden today, weeding and raking up the stuff hubby weed eated. I ended up with a blister on each hand from raking, tweaked my wrist and one ankle, plus a sunburn. Super sore now but I'm happy with the progress that was made. If hubby can get the tiller actually working...

Anything built using the stuff from inlaws would not look great, definitely look mish mashed together. Munchkin 2 loves watching his big brother, just starts smiling the moment he sees him. I hope they will be best buddies, but I anticipate lots of stolen toys and tantrums in the future. I...

The breeds they have in South America are a lot larger than the pet versions here in the US. It is very similar to rabbit from what I've read, and they are pretty much self sufficient practically from birth. They can't jump well so containing them is fairly easy and they eat all sorts of...
