Dinner rabbits, Journal

Put the crocks in. One for feed, 2 for water.
It'll be in the way, empty, until the pans arrive.

Since I miscalculated the floor wire, it looks like I can only make two 4ft floors.
Thinking of seeing if that 5ft cage can fit inside. If so, I'll put it over the odd 2hole, then put the new 2hole on top, for a weird and wonky 4hole stacker.
If not, I'll take the 5ft cage apart to use to make a 3hole that'll go on top of the odd 2hole.

Redid my charts.

Wooo, boy! Diet time!
Good golly, he felt like carrying a heavily pregnant doe!
He's also shedding like he lost a fight with a weedwhacker.

He looks embarrassed. Lol

Raven × Tar or Lefty
Hind end shape and color seems to point to Lefty. Don't believe tort is in Tar.
June 11th. 11.5wks. Even though the whole litter suffered & was stunted, all except her had to be culled out early, she has managed to grow to 5# by 12 weeks!
Her mom was rebred to the same bucks. Nest due on Sep 15. If those grow better, one will replace this doe.


Tar.
Jet × Dime
Dec 9, 2024. 9.5mo.
Small, not a great breeder. Hopefully, does he was bred to have kits and I can cull him right away.
Getting replaced by the Lefty choc carrier buck.


I forgot what I named him.
Navy × Vapor/Muddy
March 29th, 22wks, 5.5mo.

He was very unhappy about being carried back...

He's still figuring out how breeding works, but once he does, he'll give me fully pedigreed Rex! Finally!
Cruella × G
Jan 1st. 8.5mo.

Wow, that was fast!
Since they're 23" not 24", I'll use some metal flashing to cover the gap. Probably make and install corner urine guards at some point.


Got a 10ft fiberglass rebar post. Cut it in half for two supports. One for the front of that new diy cage.

Tar has a rough/stiff/spiky looking fur.....

Not soft & bunny like.

I like the Rex buck, the Cruella son...but, she's a fav of mine. I like color but, they both look good otherwise, to me.

The white, fatso, what breed is he?

They all need to shed their dirty, old coats.

Rew is a Rex.

Well, 2 pans broke in shipping. Emailed. We'll see what they do about it.


All set up!
Berry moved back in.
Crazy Coal.
Mellow Rudy.
Last, Raven's doe kit.


Where the next build will go. Will be measuring everything and seeing what can fit and how. If I can actually fit the two other cages, pictured outside, that would be fabulous. I'd rehang them so the frame is going the other way.
This wall has a few more inches of room because of the two smaller stackers.
