We don't have a set time frame for when we groom ours, just when ever it works for us. I think once a week would work fine and you could definitely groom them at night. From what we have found the up keep is about the same for both the Satin and French. You might find depending on the rabbit, some will require a little more grooming and others not as much. After working with the ones we have, we can tell when the rabbit is tired of being groomed so we try not to over due it. We are pretty much learning as we go :)

@Kaye Ok, will keep an eye out to receive the info when your ready. It may not look all that pretty but it's got amazing balance and has made some beautiful yarn.
Iv got these three fibers on hand. A blue/green tussar top and the two cheviot wool (tan and white) so I'm gonna send u some tussar and also ur pick of white or tan wool... Just let me know. Btw the colors look better than my crappy camera lol

Man, all that wind and rain last few days is a hassle to get out in, specially the flooding. Over ankle deep in some places. Yup garage is even wetter...But it's way better than having the tornado warning they casually mixed in with other news on the radio.

Yeah it got really gross here last night, too. And I know getting in and out of the rain was a pain. It was here. Sideways rain and tornado warning. Yuck. I have a mess to clean up today!!

Well the rabbit I feel had false pregnancy is attacking the front of the cage when I go over to her. Shell club onto a bowl that holds her hay and will throw herself at me.. and then my male is headbutting the jfeeder so that it falls off his cage and tries to squeeze through the hole where the tray sits in..And claws the side of the cage like he digs into he bottom..They are across from each other and I think they are making each other worse. But she's got 3 more days before I can be sure it was false pregnancy.. then I'm breeding them. Hopefully it'll settle them both down...
Iv also got that crap that's going around now. It's hit me, my husband and my eye sounds as if he's getting it. Ugh I hate being sick but so glad I kept it away as long as I did
