I try for the every two weeks also, and have learned that DH slows me down also...So now I go alone, get what I have on the list and get out as quick as I can. I don't like shopping ........, unless it's at the feed store or for a new critter

Critter shopping doesn't count as shopping!

When I went to check on the rabbits this morning, I found both of my Angora does fighting through the bars of the cages...one doe seemed okay and she was pretty much just standing there.
The other doe was losing her mind. She was bouncing off all the corners and the walls of her cage, flying and landing on her kits in the nesting box and kicking off of them.
She stepped on one kit, pushed off of it, it was screaming for a good 3 minutes and now it's looking pretty weak...I don't think it's gonna make it
I'm trying to figure out why she was acting so crazy. She's the calmest angora doe I have and she IS used to being next to other rabbits...she always has been!

Ha ha! Some kids movies are great no matter what age you are I like so many movies I can't decide on just one.
I wish Tiramisu wasn't so difficult to make, or else i'd make it more often. When you buy it at the store it's just not as good as homemade

I was thinking about your rabbits....now, never let it be said that I know a blame thing about em, cause I don't....but, have watched a whole bunch of animals in my life....and, ya may be focused on the wrong doe.....maybe the other doe was trying to do something to a kit, or trying to assert dominance and she was attempting to protect her nest....just a thought.....

Could be!
With rabbits it can be really hard to figure them out. What I saw when I walked up to them was the one doe (Beauty) doing backflips in her cage and attacking the other doe (Pele) through the bars of the cage. Pele wasn't showing any signs of fear or aggression..pretty much just standing there watching Beauty go crazy.
The thing that bothers me is that Beauty is usually the calmest of my angora does. This is not either doe's first litter so no 'new kit' stress..i still have no clue but it does seem to be better now.
The kit that she crushed ended up dying. I know it happens but I've never seen a doe act like this

I've never made tiramisu from scratch, always get it from the bakery. I'm such a tiramisu snob lol. Some places will make it with whipped cream instead of the mascarpone, fake!
