Bunnies! We have 5 litters, 3 in the nestbox.
Our NZ red does are looking great! Fire is the red, Amber the brokenHad one nice day to start getting Rayne used to a harness.
Some of the lovely weather we've had the past few weeks
And my repair on the screen door in our rabbit shed... the...
They will breed and breed. They may fight and one or both be injured. Rabbits do best (IMO) in individual cages they can be very territorial. The buck may kill the kits, or the doe could be bred before weaning the kits. Rabbits do just fine by themselves.
Been busy. Not at the farm but busy with life. Hoping we can get out there and keep on with the house. We did winterize it so no heating bill this year.
Had a couple more litters. Butchered a bunch of bunnies, Velveteen Lops failed their presentation in Oct. So cut numbers but not completely...
Rabbits are seasonal.... some worse than others. Try some lights at night. I've heard and tried of everything from ACV added to their water, extra feed, moving their cages, ect. best thing I've found is more day length.
Good morning. Been keeping busy too. Getting ready for winter, we had snow over the weekend. Going to grind some rabbit meat today, get it vaccum packed into the freezer. That's after school and riding lessons.
Do you know the cause? Was he bit or in that location I would suspect a tooth problem. Is he eating/drinking ok? I would clean daily with a gentle soap and water, then a OTC triple anticbiotic cream and a shot or two of penicillin.
Just my opinion I would not suspect it to be scabies unless...
I would do it asap if you're going to do it. And watch kits close if she's too stressed you could loose them. But you do what you have to do. I would move her before the kits rather than after.
Made eggs and bacon for DH as he had to go into work.
MR finally had her litter last night, 6 kits! No problems. Going to get the trailer cleaned out, then go get a load of hay from the farm. DH wants to mow over there and there's big tree limb in the front yard that needs cleaned up.
Under 30 this morning, but sunny so warming up quick.
Feed/grocery pick up and cleaning rabbit cages later.
Yesterday DD1's Polish doe had trouble having her first kit and we lost all the kits... she is doing ok. First bunny I've had to assist ever. DS's MR doe is miserable and still not...
Good morning. High is 42....:oops: Got to love these crazy changes. Of course we have 3 does due in the next couple of days, so turning on the heat lamps tonight...just pulled the fans out yesterday.
We had our last camping trip this past weekend. Took the ponies, the girls got to ride a bit. A...
Finally a frost this morning! Hoping DD1's allergies settle now. It's been pretty crazy, Mom's doing ok.
Yesterday we got the potatoes dug and a few last veggies. I grabbed a bunch of green beans to save to plant next year. I couldn't find my favorite kind this past Spring, though had a few...
Guess I'm the first on this morning, so the coffee is hot and ready. Hot water for cocoa and tea.
More rain today, we attempted to fix the trailer.... but needs some cutting then rewelding the way it's made so we can get the boards out and back in. So he "patched" it and we'll just take the...
@Baymule have a great day.
School today. Need to get feed and groceries and between it all we're working on getting the pool closed up. And need to get some tools from the farm so we can start on the trailer floor!!!
@Cecilia's-herd the guys are right, it's early to think about educating. But I get it, I like to plan too.
We try to be finished with school by 1 every day, then we garden, grocery shop, clean, have a quiet time if I need it, play with the critters, ride ponies, clean pens/cages, bake or...
@Baymule I'm so very very sorry.
New internet wasn't working this morning, called tech services. Talked to a local person... no luck so she put on a list to have someone else call.... IDK it's working now. Hoping it keeps it up. DH pointed out to me that we do have another phone jack...so all...
