@Beekissed I looked for the thread about the "rabbitat" we built for our colony set up but couldn't find it, here is the FB album pictures link, you can use it even if you don't have FB https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10204029514451029.1073741850.1618822299&type=1&l=a5b80a966a

Still going strong, they are still eating the fermented grains, no issues healthwise, no kits have even been sick, no food related problems, no health problems, everyone is fertile as can be, all organs look healthy and great on butcher.
Yes small amount of pellets, not much, they get dried grass and leaves, at least one 5 gall bucket full a day, if we run out of that they will get hay. They get 2.5 cups of sprouts (measured before sprouting) per day and, not sure on the fermented grains we scoop it out w/ a pan scoop and they...
Yes, still doing it, it is going great, the grow outs are fat and happy, the Two adults eat their fill, she is still popping out litters, preggers w/ her 4th since June, she always has 10+ I have butchered 12 total insides look healthy. The first batch of 6 that I processed had a weight of...
I didn't want to post this until I had been doing it for a week or more to make sure no ill effects were noted. I have had chickens way longer then rabbits and always have given them fermented grains, but never had given the grains to the rabbits. Well two weeks ago I had to put my naked chicken...
Well my two are now closer to 20 so had to upgrade from sprouting socks to bigger bags.
A few sprouting pics
1 cup of seeds makes this many sprouts, plus the ones still stuck to the bags (behind the measuring cup) for a chicken treat
Seeds + water + 4 days = sprouts
The preggers girl in her...
I know your not a proponent of on the ground, colony type set ups, you prefer the suspended sterile wire cages. That is never going to be an option for me. I have no problem w/ other people setting up like that, I understand the benefits to that kind of a set up, but just like there are...
Hello my name is Kassaundra, we have chickens, and rabbits (just starting w/ them in June) and just a couple of days ago a couple of guinea hens wandered up to live w/ our chickens.
Here is a pic of me.
Since getting the rabbits we have been working on an idea I had for housing them in our insane summer heat, it is now finished to the point they can use the dens. Still have a lot of planting and finishing to do for the yard area though. I thought I'd share the idea here. The temps have been...
Mine recognize me as the great bringer of treats (few leaves, handful of grass, few slices of cuke, or a raspberry or two, something like that) so she comes hopping up to see what nice thing I have brought her this time. If I don't get it out soon enough she nudges my leg w/ her nose, like...
I am so sorry about your mother Glad she was able to spend her last days home w/ family, even if she wasn't obviously awake, she still knew! :hugs
Mine are growing like weeds, 9 made it till now, they appear healthy and feisty. I believe mom is preggers again. They like staying together so...
