Dinner rabbits, Journal

[secuono]

So much to think about!

I know, right?





And I forgot about Berry.
I have two, pedigreed, held back from her last litter, sire Trouble. Now, a new litter by Chinny, also pedigreed. So, she can also go after this litter can be weaned!
So many buns that I'm attached to, it'll be hard to cull them if they don't sell.

Rudy × Mallow & Trouble
Rex kits are Trouble's. Unknown if regular furred would be his as well or Mallow's. Otter just needs one copy to express, so, that's not helpful.
I'm liking three of them.
11wks, 3 days. 5.18 up to 5.74 pounds.


Top two seem decent.


This one is decent.




Tippy × Rew
10 weeks old.
4.64 to 5.34 pounds.
The 4 REWs before culling one. Clearly, they posed badly the second day....

 

[Mini Horses]

I'd be in real trouble! If friendly & wiggles their nose, well....

Reorganized the mess to get pics and list.
Sky and Steely have great shape. Shouldn't I be keeping them to breed back in the future? Hmm...

I cut two tails and an ear for the younger cat to play with.
Put them in the dehydrator.
She got the ear yesterday and I only found about half of it. I think she ate the rest. Lol.
The tails, I left in all day.
They smell like buttered popcorn and I want to eat them....lol, is that normal?

Berry × Chinny
All still alive.

Well, dang. Just found out that Cassy is steel, NOT castor! Fml...
That's why she kept getting darker and darker.

So annoying.
Nest sitting again, one healthy kit dead, one skinny kit with no interest in eating.
Can't wait to cull her out.

Yep, that failure died.
Rest seem fed.
I have to keep up with tons of new hay in that second nest or she'll squash them. Not on purpose, she sits on the upper half off them, but kits crawl to her and get squished.



Three does got nests.
Coral is building hers. I think she might go into temporary retirement until I have a buck to breed back to her. Need to put others in temporary retirement as well, but need to split cages for them to live in. Bred to Chinny. Oh! That is one of the breed backs!

Coal might be building...She's on her second try. She wasn't on the cull list, but might need to be. Bred to Rew and Bluey.

Raven didn't seem that interested. She'll be culled if no kits by Tuesday. Bred to Jet Buck, now named Drizzle.



Hops × Drizzle


Steely × Mallow


Berry × Chinny

Going to have some cash soon. 48 bags loaded up. Eight bags of meat chosen to be packed day of. And one rabbit to butcher tomorrow, to be packed day of as well.

Then, I need to find a tool to remove feet off the frozen rabbits, to hopefully sell as raw or as dehydrated. As I need to make space in the freezer and to make money for feed.
I don't know how selling the main body would work, probably won't, and they'll just be food for my younger dog. As I don't feel like thawing them all just to group organs.
