Hi
I have been like most of you tring to get fresh water to my rabbits. I only fill the cups half full
but if you don't get the ice out it floats to the top and makes it hard for a rabbit to get water.
I bring in some to melt and wash cups.It takes much longer to get the chore done. My brushes was in a bucket of clorox water and they have been frozen solid. I finally got the block of ice out today and threw it on the concrete and busted some out. I have all the last round of litters into their own cage. I have two litter in the basement 3 wk. old and all but one is going to be sold. 3 are from a broken to broken breeding. The Dad will be one of Brian Caudill bucks. I got a doe from Helen Mckie and the Doe had been bred to Him.They are beautiful but are Charleys.I think they are all bucks. I have another litter with 2 a black otter and a blue otter. I think they are does but not sure.If they are does I will keep one.
I have been feeling of my rabbits , some are too fat and a couple was thin. I am going to haft to start give them something extra. I went to the feed store yesterday . They only had two kinds of hay, fescue which looked like straw and compress alfa/ I got the compress stuff and the leaves fall off when you pull it apart. They don't make as much mess with it
but just too expensive for me at 13.25 a bail.My husband found some bermuda for me so I
have a few bails of that. I worked several hours in the rabbitry today. My husband said I was
going to be found froze down there and I said nope I had a rabbit in my arms keeping me warm. I brushed some and tring to get an Idea who could got to the mocksville show jan 23.Unless a molt come over I will have a broken doe there.but can't say about anything else. It seems like everthing in my rabbitry is loosing fur and just looks shagy.Don't they know it winter and they need that coat. The concrete floor in the rabbitry doesn't help anything it is cold.The sun shines in one end and I stay pretty warm with the heavy platic up.
Not much else going on around here just feed and clean waiting for the next show
Hope to see you soon. Tresia
