Miss Amberlops,

Those are beautiful pictures! I know that the walk had to be relaxing for you. I hope you get to do that sort of thing more often. Please more pictures like these when you go out again!

Took some pictures today of Jessie and Skyler's kits. They're getting cuter every day
I'll post them tomorrow!
Still can't get my does to breed! The other day, Betty Sue was acting strange, biting the bars of her cage and digging a lot so i put her in with Archie and she wanted breed! So far she's the only one...
I rebred her the day after she had the strange last litter but i guess it didn't take.
Can't wait to see what she has this time with Archie!

Have a great night everyone

I think I finally killed the rat I've been having a problem with...the one that's been brave enough to go in and out of the rabbits cages...and eat food out of their bowls. For some reason, my Holland lops don't care...the lionheads and angoras throw a fit, stomp their feet and scare it off. My lops couldn't care less!
I got a picture of it sitting IN the cage with my 4 week old lop babies...you can see the kits in the left side of the picture, huddled up together. The rat is just eating away, it didn't even run when I was standing right in front of it taking the pictures!
I haven't seen this one in 2 days, so I think the RatX did it's job.
But there's yet another rat that took its place

I have glue traps set up, live traps, snap traps and RatX poison. So far I found 1 dead rat, and I think it's the one in the pictures above because it was a small rat.
But today I found another, bigger rat in Jessie's cage with her kits and it spooked when it saw me.
Here's some pictures of the bigger rat under one of the pallets.

More traps and some time, that should fix it. I hate rats. I'm glad it doesn't appear to be harming the rabbits, just stealing their food.

Do you have access to a pellet gun? Might be able to get it when it's under the pallet like that, should be hard to miss at that range.

This always works for me

I was surprised too that it hasn't gone after the kits. The first time I saw it in Jessie's cage, the kits were still in the nestbox. I was worried it would try to eat them but I guess it's just addicted to the feed
A pellet gun is a great ide! Hadn't thought of that! I'll go to TSC this weekend and see what they have
