Three Temporary Residents

Peter: a mixed breed meat mutt.   My guess is New Zealand crossed with something as that's a fairly common mix.  he's a big enough boy.. 8 lbs.

Marco - booted Chocolate Mini rex Buck.  Awaiting a pedigree on this lad.

Kayvin - Flemish Giant buck.   This lad is apparently about 8 months old and is proven.   I'm hopefully going to use him with Biscuit.      I don't have a picture of him yet. 

All will be for sale.   I have a minimum price in mind, so if you are interested contact me for details.

Shar - Kindles, January 21, 2012

eight kits born to Shar, She's a harlequin doe.  I was wondering if something wasn't quite right with her kindling as it was taking a fair bit of time.   When I checked after breakfast she'd had eight kits, one was born DOA (it was a larger than average kit).

Some of the kits look to be well marked.  hopefully this litter will do better than her first litter.

Dad is Shade.

One stuck kit.

Dead on arrival.

sadness.

that's all I can say.

Dusty - Kindles, January 15, 2012

Dusty came into the house yesterday, gave me four kits this afternoon. Three alive, all look to be brokens. One teeny tiny kit born DOA.

YIPPEE!!!! I have wee polish babies! :)

dad is popper.

Kylee - January 14, 2012

five kits, found them all dead.

One looks to have been stomped, another was big and looked to have been pulled out via teeth.
The poor nest building skills made for the three remaining to be scattered.

Disappointing to say the least.

A Switch

Due to homeschooling needs I've made a bit of a switch in how I feed the rabbits.

I used to give them their hay/apple branch/hay cube (in rotation) in the mornings, and a small treat at night.

NOW I will be only giving them their pellets in the mornings, all treats/extras will be given in the evenings. This saves me about 1/2 hr in the morning which I can easily do at night since I'm out there anyways.

Biscuit is unimpressed with the change...she rather dislikes it.... and Bandit was doing this? BUT BUT BUT>>> don't I get hay today??? look at me this morning.

They will adjust. :)
