Dinner rabbits, Journal

Ugh. Yesterday, lost a big blue from Navy. Today, lost another big blue from Navy. Wtf. Weird the skinny runts didn't die, just the biggest! Rebred her.


Chick's kits


Cruella kits


Navy survivors, I think 6 left.


And berry was rebred when I noticed her kits failing. I expected hers to die off, not Navy. Since she gets a nest tomorrow, and is huge, I had to move her kits. But it's so dang cold, they had to go with another litter. Too young, too big, too dying(navy), so in with Jet they went. The broken is an ahole, sits at the feeder, dumping it all! Almost culled it when I saw it. Might do better with the more narrow jfeeders. If not, culling it. I hate feed dumpers with a passion!

Broken hasn't been emptying the feeder! Jet has approved of the new additions, begrudgingly. Lol
I keep coming across comments that moms won't accept new kits at X age or w/e, but mine have always been chill.

Culled a Chick kit who would not stop being a screamer.
Rest got to go out of the nest to explore, as its 47F today!


Cruella kits zooming on their own now & gobbling solids.

$67 in the green. About 5 bags of manure for the garden at 4 and bag, was it?

Currently $87 in the green.


Mixed them with grit and peatmoss. Filled 3 of the big plastic pots for my garden.

Have 5 yards of peatmoss compost on order. Waiting for snow to get lost before he'll deliver it!

Then I just need to get more grit and slowly bring up manure when it's available.


Will dump and mix last year's bags with fresh manure and the peatmoss, too.
