Yup, last of the litter gone.

Culled the other litter SF that was left. 3 in the freezer. Dog is getting lazy at eating them. The sf buck and the 5ish griwout sf bucks are getting put in freezer after I sharpen my knife to skin them.

Then start disinfecting and scrubbing cages.

With the 2 mutt litters, I moved all the dies up top, the bucks in bottom. Moved the mom to her own cage.

$1,210 the  green. Minus 191 in 6 feed bags.

Currently $1,019 the  green.

Trying out kalmbach feed.


15 cents more per pound.

Doesn't smell great.
Only got 6 bags, so if things get weird, I'll switch again.
Only positive is how thin the pellets are, which might be good for kits.

I don't understand how to read or where to find the date it was made. This is all there is, and not even on every bag, no tags.

Steely will be staying to repeat the breeding with Mallow. But I have to put it off a week or so, because I can't have her kitting around the 25th.

Glamor was bred to all of the SF bucks. So, her litter will be sold. If she's a bad mom, I'll just cull her out. If a good mom, I'll breed to a Rex for 2nd gen Rex kits, as she's half Rex.

Culled 4-5 kits.
2 for being violent mofos! This broken otter has been nasty since birth.
It took me a second to remember, "hello! Wake up! Catch it!" 😅
Didn't have time to properly end the video because a black kit got into a nasty fight with another black. Caught it, culled both, then checked everyone else for nasty behavior. The blue otter buck is iffy, but the rest are calm.



Also, there you go, there's "depth", it's all in how you pose them!!
Only difference is a slight camera angle change, but still level with the rabbit.
Her loin was real wide the first time, but I rushed and she ended up relaxing enough to narrow out the loin. I'm pretty sure pulling the rear hide down helps that illusion, by smoothing out the hide. More visual games for the perfect rabbit...
This is how I got the REW to have amazing loin, accidental seriousness in getting it to pose. Lol

The sister.
Can't believe neither sold.
With all the 💩 rex I see posted, I'd kill to get one of these. Lol. And both look better than their mom.
