Dinner rabbits, Journal

[secuono]

Bunch of does & one buck will be leaving in roughly 4wks! Just waiting on some to wean their kits. All to the same place, deposit has been received.
Tanya, Vickie, Rusty, Freckles, 11, young black sf buck & 4 of Tanya's doe kits!

And Cinder might have a home at the place I got my first buns 2yrs ago! If we can agree on price. Where that broken black NZ/Rex mix buck came from.



That leaves just 7 listed to go or be culled that's old enough to leave.

Cinder will leave, too!

That opens up 6 holes!! *phew* that'll be a great start.

Trying hard not to keep the rex siblings & lilac doe, because they're so darn cute! And thinking hard about which other grow outs I could let go....Really need and want to downsize further.

On the plus side, found a huge piece of plexiglass to redo my rabbit cage chart with! From a big screen TV, just need to get wall hooks for it to sit on and figure out if I even have open wall space for it...

I should do the same for the sheep & cattle.... The TVs come with many inner sheet layers, so lots of huge boards I could make! Just need to hang those instead, because they're floppy, not ridged. I'll get a pic later.

Ugh. Buyer wants to wait for spring for a breeding age buck.
But, other buyer wants him instead of the kit buck. So, all good!




Culled Zero previously & one already kitted.
14 seems bloated and didn't feel kits, so probably won't kit. Sire Zippy.
Xoh has a nest already hung up. Sire Jasper.

So, 5 are due nests next week-
Widy, on her last chance. Sire Baymax.
Cocoa & Aqua, on their first litters. Sire Cinder.
Lynx, proven. Sire Baymax.
And unnamed broken black doe. Sire Cinder.

2 basket nests need hooks and top/side wire added. Have 5 cardboard boxes glued, drying now. Hopefully, they fit through the doors...
Dug up another nest. So, 4 metal and 5 cardboard.
14 moved her hay for eating to the back, but she's definitely not looking bred, just hollow and clogged up. Ugh.


6 culls.



Moved Tanya and kits, since the mom is a filthy homemaker, lol.

Got some more pics & weights.
More pointy bum seems to be a Rivian trait?

One litter, too many pics.
Some kits willingly sat for me, so I got their posed pics. Nice group. Love when they sit pretty on their own!
Lilac ones are definitely Baymax kits. Others may be Rivian babies, time will tell through fur, size & shape.

 

[secuono]

Lilacs, 2 are otters.

So cute!

I love the first pic of 4 -- where one isn't wanting a part of it looking for escape.

Wow they really did pose nice - super cute.
