When I was a little kid, my dad would be gone for weeks at a time for work. Curious I asked him what his job was. He told me he was an engineer, working for the government and he couldn't say more about it. Being a little kid, I didn't know there were many types like mechanical engineers...

The fungus is amoungus!

Alfalfa works too.

I just read another post about Buckwheat. My immediate thought was how great of a name that would be for a black bunny.

Buckwheat would be an awesome name for a rabbit! A black one!

Anyone here have kids or grandkids interested in science? If so I might be able to light a fire under their butt(s) to get them inspired. After my time in the military I was invited to join a small group that designed & built the first series of lasers for NASA. Specifically Apollo 11's Lunar...

One of our bucks is quite the artist. They all have blocks of wood to chew on & play with but he works on his constantly. A 2"x2" x 6" long block ends up like a pencil in just over a week. Some of the patterns he carves are kinda neat looking. The rest take almost 2 months to destroy one.

One of the few things I really care about is caring for our land. My teen years consisted of lots of "crusin'". We lived almost 30 miles from "town" and the prime crusing places were beyond that. Some dumbass kid in my backseat threw his trash out the window. I stopped & told him to go back &...

With the exception of large animals / livestock, all of our critters have plenty of food & fresh water available 24/7. Many have expressed their opinion on how wrong that is for dogs, cats, rabbits etc. I've never had an issue with it. My dogs aren't fat... they snack when they feel like it but...

Kinda funny / kinda not... in the early 1960s our family was the first in our area to get a color TV. Neighbors actually came over just to see it. The main issue was that most TV shows were still broadcast in black & white. Commercials however were mostly color so we actually paid attention to...

Anyone here remember the crying indian? Turns out "Iron Eyes Cody" the super famous Native American actor, was actually 100% Italian! I read that on the Internet so it must be true.

In the beginning I saw my unexpected / unwanted herd of rabbits as a PITA. Now that I'm past the initial upset, I've found that I'm actually enjoying their company caring for them & visiting several times per day.

I feel your husband's pain. I've found that I'm no longer capable of killing anymore either. Maybe, if I were in a survival situation or had children to feed with no viable options. I figured that out only after investing everything in a ranch to raise bison. Now I'm shipping the ones we "were"...

Welcome! You've come to the right place. I didn't know anything when I got here a short time ago. Everyone was quick to answer questions & share what they know.

My wife has a special talent for that. She even saved a baby squirrel that fell from a tree. Poor thing didn't have fur or eyes open yet. I didn't think he had a chance but she used a syringe & kitten formula. He grew up just fine. He was quite friendly, rode the dog around the house etc. Then...

I have a "bottle feeding kit" with formula that I bought off Amazon, just in case... but didn't need it. Have the same on hand for horses but haven't needed that either. Obviously the bottles & nipples are "slightly" larger for horses. 😉

I haven't added it all up but I'm seriously in the red. But my purpose isn't making a profit, it's caring for my animals. No regrets... yet.

And while you are at it... I tried making another anonymous donation via PayPal but can't figure out how I did it b4.

Yes please!

I tried. It's like a fart in a spacesuit... it won't go away!
