These are the grow outs to breed later or cull. We only have rain water here as i live off grid. Wormed and preventatived. I did a ECC test as i do before i add chemicals to any of our animals, and no worms. Weights 4-6lb. So small breed is correct id say. Need an enlarger. ? Flem giant doe?

The blue eyed red n white? Whats wrong with that fur? Its all messy.

Each rabbit @ 14 wks Set up: tractor colony moved weekly. Pic of grass on left, has been watered n recovering. Pic on right is immediately after the move/clean up this morning. Day time temps: high 30's. Fed twice day pellets. These were all sold to me as NZ. Perhaps not cept the white one. So...

Mus looks like Indigo Pipkins, a childrens tv puppet i loved! So rather interested in what he is. That coat is like nothing ive seen b4 being new. Lovely!

Guinea pigs are an alternative meat, none of the aversions to rats, less disease burdened species. And maybe feed the cat less so it works for a living? Once they get the taste of fresh meat, theyll ignore food in their dish i find.

Having to clean a box is no issue. It was more worry the other rabbits would enter/disturb or harm them. Ill put 3 boxes in for 2 does. Ty

Situation: We are in start up phase of colony/tractor. Large dog run, with chook wire added to bottom foot perimeter walls. I move it every few days around my tree for shade, but once cooler months, it can go all over the house block. Its easy to move. And we are approaching breeding time...
