sorry to hear that you lost the litter

we haven't tried breeding any of our rabbits yet, still have to get our numbers down.

LOL good luck. I will be reducing my girls again once I decide who to keep back from this year... 18 does will be too many for me... :/ Unless I get those outside pens up and functioning for the Jr''s to grow out in....

I've noticed a direct correlation between increasing number of rabbits and an increase in the feed bill

Me too! That is the only part that stinks big time!

I am not sure if it is easy to make out, the lighting was horrible in the barn as it was super gloomy out, but that is Honey far left, Evey in the middle with Charley draped over Evey grooming her. Roxy found the nest boxes I placed in there and was enjoying every last second of lounging in that. Last night I made a make shift colony set up for them to enjoy due to needing the area I had them penned in for our littlest goat, Olive. So Colony #2 is successful, Colony #1 is still a success and I am in the works of creating colony #3 and 4 as soon as I can get the pens built. It went from too hot to cold and rainy now...

Glad to hear that your rabbits are getting along!

Yep! now if only Charley will breed them.... He is too lazy and laid back....

8-20-15 Colony Update

Colony #2












Upon morning check this morning I found Charley and his Angels (Hehe see what I did there?) Roxy, Honey and Evey all snug together with Roxy drapped over Charley LOL. These 4 just crack me up. The level of content they have become since placing them together is absolutely amazing to me. I have seen the improvement in each of them with their personalities shining through even brighter than before.





Colony #1

The babies from Colony 1 are thriving and doing remarkably well for the age they have hit. Usually they will start to scuffle a bit at this age but have yet to do so with the space and levels they have to give each other their individual space.

Updated Jr. pics of the 2015 babies either still available or that I am holding back for my herd and a couple that are awaiting pick up.
