Sunrise Bunnies Riding lessons

Birthday cakes I made the girls Ranger is doing great, spoiled boy.

Bunnies! We have 5 litters, 3 in the nestbox. Our NZ red does are looking great! Fire is the red, Amber the brokenHad one nice day to start getting Rayne used to a harness. Some of the lovely weather we've had the past few weeks And my repair on the screen door in our rabbit shed... the...

They will breed and breed. They may fight and one or both be injured. Rabbits do best (IMO) in individual cages they can be very territorial. The buck may kill the kits, or the doe could be bred before weaning the kits. Rabbits do just fine by themselves.

Been busy. Not at the farm but busy with life. Hoping we can get out there and keep on with the house. We did winterize it so no heating bill this year. Had a couple more litters. Butchered a bunch of bunnies, Velveteen Lops failed their presentation in Oct. So cut numbers but not completely...

Rabbits are seasonal.... some worse than others. Try some lights at night. I've heard and tried of everything from ACV added to their water, extra feed, moving their cages, ect. best thing I've found is more day length.

Good morning. Been keeping busy too. Getting ready for winter, we had snow over the weekend. Going to grind some rabbit meat today, get it vaccum packed into the freezer. That's after school and riding lessons.

Do you know the cause? Was he bit or in that location I would suspect a tooth problem. Is he eating/drinking ok? I would clean daily with a gentle soap and water, then a OTC triple anticbiotic cream and a shot or two of penicillin. Just my opinion I would not suspect it to be scabies unless...

I would do it asap if you're going to do it. And watch kits close if she's too stressed you could loose them. But you do what you have to do. I would move her before the kits rather than after.

Made eggs and bacon for DH as he had to go into work. MR finally had her litter last night, 6 kits! No problems. Going to get the trailer cleaned out, then go get a load of hay from the farm. DH wants to mow over there and there's big tree limb in the front yard that needs cleaned up.

Under 30 this morning, but sunny so warming up quick. Feed/grocery pick up and cleaning rabbit cages later. Yesterday DD1's Polish doe had trouble having her first kit and we lost all the kits... she is doing ok. First bunny I've had to assist ever. DS's MR doe is miserable and still not...

Coffee is on. School then dental appointments. 28 degrees this morning.... no new kits yet but have the rabbit shed heat lamps on.

Good morning. High is 42....:oops: Got to love these crazy changes. Of course we have 3 does due in the next couple of days, so turning on the heat lamps tonight...just pulled the fans out yesterday. We had our last camping trip this past weekend. Took the ponies, the girls got to ride a bit. A...

Not too much... 5 days is about right. Some years it's been into November so it's all good, they don't last forever and we enjoy when we can.

Finally a frost this morning! Hoping DD1's allergies settle now. It's been pretty crazy, Mom's doing ok. Yesterday we got the potatoes dug and a few last veggies. I grabbed a bunch of green beans to save to plant next year. I couldn't find my favorite kind this past Spring, though had a few...
