A broken has the best shape, but the blue has the best weight. Ugh.

Caught a kit licking it's backside.
Scritched it for it and it licked its sibling. So cute.

Frozen culls leaving next week. Then, since freezer will have space again, the choc buck is going into the freezer, plus the older replacements I decided not to keep.
One young cull keeps escaping the outdoor pen. If it's still around, I'll be culled. Then I have to fix that door somehow.

Wtf is happening!?
I put the rex buck outside and he starts to drop weight like crazy!
No changes besides more fresh air and soft ground of hay. Wtf!?!

Worse again, that disaster buck also has no tail! How did I not notice until now? It's just a nub!

Then hops has sore hock. How?? The choc rex as well. Bloody bull!
New, expensive, thick gaw floors, at least 2 new mats per cage. I genuinely don't understand what is happening!

I think I'll be culling out a lot of adult rabbits soon...Just put on my "f it all pants" and do it...

Moved the 3 older Coral kits outside.
Put the skinny buck back in a cage. Don't have room to butcher anyone until the growouts sell later this week. If he improves by then, he will be spared. If not, him, the choc buck and the older juniors will all go into the freezer Saturday or Sunday.
Navy is refusing to breed. Bucks are occasionally still lazy. She'll be culled if she keeps refusing. Same with Raven.

Hops bred. Hoping something decent comes out to replace her or I'll just cull her out.

Glitter & Steely also bred.


Sky bred to Rew & the new NZW buck, Spazzy. No longer a fitting name, but it's stuck.

First, the culls-


And then the ones being held back further- A buck n doe from each litter. Tappy×G, Rex. And Jet×Lefty, Silver Fox.


So, since I have, like, 3 Rex bucks by G, I'm going to cull him either way this weekend. No point in keeping him at all.
