Lilac kit was out yesterday. All except 2 were out today, so I lowered the nest & put two out with the others for pics. They're too cute!

A lilac, a broken blue & rest broken blue otters, I think. So stinkin' cute!



It was so hot yesterday, when it was 13F at night, that I had to move Speckle & kits to the bottom cage to cool down. Choco moved up and the SF in the middle cage moved to the top.

I need a winter rabbitry & a summer rabbitry...

Those brokens in last pics are my favs 🥰 love the colors. The doe is so pretty -- looks snuggly. Ok, ok I'm not a meat rabbit raiser, so pet thoughts.🤣
I always wanted bunnies cuz I thought they looked so snuggly. Then I got some and discovered they are actually awful scratchy. (Nails)

Saturday -

Idk, it's so hard to decide who to cull. Looks like I'll be keeping the three rex & the choc mutt for now.
Sf mutt is small, haven't posed him, might keep him long enough to get some litters, if he has good shape, then cull.


Today-

Fleshed and in their final soak.

2-3 runts, but still growing. If 14 wasn't a weirdo about her small # of kits, and didn't have the screamer in there, I'd move them in with her.

So many new, fun colors!
2 castors, 2 opals or lynx, 2 chocolate otters, 1 solid blue or lilac & 1 solid chocolate are my guesses.

Finally got the new floor in!
Filled 3 bags of poop, too.
Lowered the water to the side & redid the tarp wrap to be directly on the cage vs over pallets. Top has metal roofing under the tarp to stop water.
