Got the front pasture fence in, along with the box trailer we use for shelter for them moved out there(they have a small barn in another pen for night time. And got a large trough out there now as well. The goats and calf kept running in and put the trailer lol silly things. It's getting hot now days. I been giving the rabbits ice cubes during the heat of the day to help them stay cool i tried frozen bottles last year but they just bit holes in them. So this year it be ice cubes and a fan. And also their houses are in full shade. So hoping that all helps. Current bunny number is nine. Two adults, 7 babies. We see how well this goes i plan to keep 3-4 doe kits depending on how many kits from this litter and I rebreed her and keep from another litter or two depending on how many kits. But I won't he breeding again until fall anyways it be to hot for them from now on. Super 90s already. I am still enjoying it but I tolerate the heat better then the cold. I can sit out in the shade and feel comfortable. Dh not so much and the kids like to be in the water lol.

☆two year olds don't listen lol ds2 decide after mommy told him that the hot glue gun was hot and he would get owies if he touched it guess what he touched it and it hurt and he freaked everytime after words for 30 minutes if he saw a string like substance that looked like hot glue stuff. My brain hurts from that crazy non stopness. Lol but he learned to listen. We were making caterpillars from egg cartons and yup. Here some more farm pictures
