Shale pups June 19, 2011

three pups born.

Two smooth, one crested. Two males, one female. Can't recall right now which ones are the boys.

Buddy is dad.

Cleaned out the rabbitry

In the spring I always wash down all the racks, cages, clean everything up neat and clean.

This past week I managed to get all the cages and racks spic and span for the summer.

I am simply delighted to have the job done.

I still need to finish up some tidying in the old tent yet.

But mostly everything is done. Quite pleased with that.

Cinnamon Kindles - May 22, 2011

Completely forgot to write this in here.

Cinnamon had three kits on the 22 of May.
Father: Donatello

Each kit is a different colour.

Winter Mess Clean Up

While I haven't had a chance to give the rabbitry a THOROUGH cleaning, I did have time yesterday to remove and clean up winter garbage from the rabbitry.

Often in the winter I give the kits cardboard boxes to sit on, it's warmer to sit and fun to nibble on. When they get soiled I throw them under cages and pile them in corners and such like. So yesterday I got all that stuff cleaned up. Reorganized the shed a bit, figured out what could be yard sale materials, cleaned up crocks and just gave a good once over to the "STUFF" of rabbits. Two full bags of miscellaneous garbage as well. I'll need to have a fire to burn up the particularly horrid stuff, the ones that were relatively clean went out in the recycling.

I am hoping this coming week to clean the rabbit cages and racks themselves. I normally have this one in May but we've hardly had any nice stretches of day without rain that I didn't have something more urgent that needed to be completed first. I really would like to get all that cleaned up and smelling pretty. I was tempted to do one rack this morning but well... rain says NOT to that idea. :) So we'll hope for a good day or two next week. Will be nice to get everything cleaned up.
