We spent the weekend a couple hours north, so I had to split up one cage of grow out bunnies into two, to ensure they’d have enough food over the weekend. This meant the cage the hens had been hiding in overnight was locked out from their use. We arrived home earlier, and not only… Continue reading Tentatively hopeful
I have been lackadaisical about updating this page, because, frankly, I’ve been sick. Pregnancy does not agree with me. Thankfully, I have had support with the minimal activities of caring for the animals, and days where I could actually accomplish anything. (Side note: Pregnancy, plus migraines, plus concussion, plus stomach flu, plus ear infection, plus… Continue reading Updates
So apparently to start the summer off “right,” I clonked myself in the head doing the most routine and mundane things possible … unbuckling Small Person from her booster seat. Smacked right into the edge of the car door, and then forgot about doing so for four days. (At least. That’s my best-guess of when… Continue reading Ugh
It may finally be Spring, as heralded by the constant drizzle for several days. We had an event trip, where I field-trialed my freeze dried foods. That went well. I got to eat REAL FOOD while traveling. So cool. But my knee decided to act up, and made it difficult for me to take care… Continue reading Spring, Finally, Maybe?
It has been a week of new additions here. First, the Saga of the USPS Shipment. Some painfully expensive chicks were purchased because the breeder had a substantial hatch occur, and there were enough to justify the acquisition (plus shipping costs). Same breeder as the Black Copper Marans hatching eggs that are currently in the… Continue reading Chicks, Buns, and more Chicks
Yeah, yeah, I know what the time stamp will say. 🙂 But I haven’t gone to bed yet, so it counts. I just wanted to post the picture of cute new born rabbit kits. It’s a meat mutt litter, unless one turns up with a characteristic I’m looking for in the crossing. Nine, the largest… Continue reading 4/13/19
After several days of being barely functional due to migraine, I managed to beat it back early this afternoon. Naturally, this meant I had to shoehorn in all of the tasks I meant to accomplish on Saturday AND Sunday only on about half of Sunday. Accordingly, I’m a bit tired. 🙂 Two of the current… Continue reading Long day
Warning: Gratuitous bunny pictures ahead. 🙂
After being deeply irritated by the last few weeks of fodder issues, I’ve decided that it’s the seed itself. The last batch of bag giving me problems was started 2 days ago, and I just picked four or five patches of white fuzzy seeds off of it. Bleh. I have rearranged the fodder shelf, with… Continue reading Moldy Seed
We’ve been SICK. Accordingly, I have tried hard to minimize my handling and the rabbits’ exposure to me directly. I’ve had antibiotics for two and a half days now, so felt safe(r) handling the fluffbutts. So far, all three of the currently nursing litters are doing well. The weather’s been all over the place for… Continue reading Open Eyes
