Promise Acre: Our Journey

sorry to hear you lost one, glad the others are doing well!

Bunnies were all doing fine this morning! Demaris fed and cleaned her 4 and then I snuggled them back up into their cage. Will have DH build me some more of the narrower nest boxes. With the winter thaw I was able to bury Winston. I also took pics.
The ewes, 2 more months until lambs!
The boys


And Maizy, 1 year old this month.

Down to 8 bunnies, Demaris lost another. I am not sure why, other than I had put them back in with her....suspect she stomped on him as she appeared to be nesting again...so will just keep them out and let her feed twice a day. I had to cull one of Twilight's as he was injured. And I noticed yesterday the minor back wound had affected his rear quarters, could not move his back legs. but have 8 almost week old kits.
Alena hasn't had any, which I am ok with. It is only day 32. Need to give more penicillin today.

sorry to hear you lost a couple kits

Demaris litter Twilight's litter

very cute- it's so fun to watch how quick their coats come in!

Love them and so glad she finally had something and they are thriving! I have had the same thing happen and it is frustrating.

Put RP and 1 of the 2 year old rams up for sale. Hoping to have convince DH to change more towards a meat type sheep.... the painted desert are unique but I would love a quicker maturing lamb... we will see though. I would probably keep at least 3 of the ewes. Probably best would be all new stock if butchering at 5,6 mos is my goal... Idk we will see.

Bunnies are doing ok, still have 3 with signs of the vd, may set them up to see a vet I am told is bunny savy... probably will have to treat the babies once they're older at this rate. Both litters have the biggest ears!!
We looked at a property for sale on Monday, it was the right price, and had a barn, garage and pole building but the house needed A lot of work. Actually the whole property was neglected. It was fun and excited dh was willing.
I started a rag rug... don't see me making them to sell, they take a lot of time! Hoping to try my hand at horsehair jewelry next.

bunnies are growing

Snow days! Even my husband got a day and 1/2 off. Helped make a snowman.
Twilight's bunnies, they're doing great.

Have a deposit down on 2 ewes and a gal is coming on Saturday with intent of 2 other ewes. I decided to let them go if picked up this month. There's an exotic auction in may the remaining rams will go to. Hoping to get enough for a bunny shed. We will see. It's bitter sweet to sell. But it's just time.
