Dinner rabbits, Journal

[secuono]

And Tealy had her second litter. 10! 2-3 are runty, so we'll see if they can make it. Didn't pull anywhere enough fur, but hot this morning, so all are warm and I added saved fur.

Tealy×Goliath kits
Will any be worth keeping?

Both first timers, mom & dad and now proven producers.
Malty×Digit
10 kits, 8 alive & fed. Great nest and fur amount, she tried to nest in the cage the day I added it, but decided to use the nest once I relocated the hay back into it.


Also got the 8 drippers on bottles and then hung them up. Using the old lines as a hose to refill when needed. Lol.

Ordered 16 more drippers, as I'll need them for the rest of the buns and for kit water later on.
Winter is coming, though. So I need to get more pans and paint.


Puff is on day 34. Idk if she'll have any or not. Couple of days left to find out, then rebreed.

Cruella kits
2 rews, a black, 2 broken castors and a solid castor?


10th Malty kit passed. Other two runts are fed, but tiny. We'll see if they're able to keep up and eat. Cruella's kits are already huge, so can't put them in her nest.

The walls for the new, permanent rabbit building are here!
Building should show up this morning.


I have a bunch of 2×4s for framing. Idk if it's enough of them though. Have screws of different lengths, too. Will just need to buy plywood.

Puff was rebred. Will cull if she fails to produce yet again.

Cruella's kits looking big.


Tealy kits, lost a 2nd runt. Down to 8.


Malty kits, also looking good.

Covid made the price jump, but luckily, it dropped back to the precovid price now for their "sale", and I was able to get two for 1088(tax included) per each, and each is 2ft wider and 5ft longer!! What a deal!



I'll rotate the old ones, but them on blocks and then use them for hay storage and other such things.

Tire was low again. Break time to fill it.
Super windy day. May just get frame partly set up. Then get bricks to raise it off the dirt and level it. Anchor frame, then wait for a mellow day for the roof install.
