I came home yesterday to two new babies :) <br /><br /> __________ Thu Jan 07, 2016 7:20 pm __________ <br /><br /> one of the pups

So I've had these piggies since October. I know I'm naughty and should have pictures.. It was not an impulse buy, I never do anything impulsively. I wanted Texels because they are cute, and I want to have a bit of novelty hair to spin. Peruvians too. I read all I could and asked questions. And...

I'm volunteering with Americorps. Not really a job but I can afford animal food. I'm also down to less than 30 rabbits. So I have a friend downsizing, and I brought home three Texel guinea pigs. For me, since they are rodents, it takes some time to get used to it. I've been scouring the...

First, my Angora peds are three year old eating pizza messy... I bred the Opal (not first litter) to the REW (dilute, choco carrier) and got a mess of things. If you know me you know I hate surprises, but this might be an exception. I see something that is clearly Opal. One I think is...

Just some picts of yarn that I've spun. thanks for looking

Me grooming a jr buck French Angora. Sometimes I clip jr coats, sometimes I leave them on, it depends on the texture of the fiber.The other jrs blew their coats, this one didn't and I wanted to see how long it would last. This is a vacuum blower, so it's louder than an animal blower. I like...

Anise, the blue Jersey Wooly kindled three kits sired by the broken Jersey Wooly buck (no name). I got my kits this morning. Anise kindled two kits in Jan, lost one to cold. Feb she did everything right, and I found frozen kits in the nestbox. I was thrilled to get three kits today. A little...

I saw them yesterday, a happy family of flies. Not happy for very long. I still had one can of the auto spray at my disposal, and I disposed of them. Now that the battle has begun, I need to figure out once again how I plan to take care of these pest. Since the poop is being carted off site...

Trying to earn a living. Sold almost all of my sr rabbits. I still have more than the average person. Sold my entire supply of Angora fiber. It went like hotcakes, so I'm thinking if I can keep more Angoras, this might work. Started making soap, lotions, and lip balms. I'm going to my first...

And I am bummed. I need to cull some more buns too, and I only have a blue herd sire left and a group of does that carry blue. I don't have money or time for more unshowable colors. Anyone have their copy of DR to tell me how many showings this was? I need to know if they have another...

I finally have a litter of pure Angoras. The Opal doe was bred to Ansel, the black buck. I know Ansel carries blue and chocolate, and to my surprise... I got a Tort. :( :) Well most know my obsession with clean peds, and distrust of non extension, but these are Angoras, not Rex, so I...

I've decided again to cull the majority of my rabbitry down again. It's just too hard to get food, too expensive. I have some funds, but still don't have a car, and don't know anyone who can commit to take me to get food twice a month. I'm hoping I can cull down to 20 or so key rabbits. Back...

I made a serious effort to grow a variety of vegetables this year. You know the lbs of veggies in a 1/4 acre stuff? It was a cold start to the year. Still too cold in May to seed completely. I did everything completely from seed this year, usually it's half and half. Half of the seeds did...

A kind friend offered to bring me hay. 3 bales, and I was happy until I saw it. It looks like straw. The only reason I know it's hay, because I can see dried grass blades. Is it worth feeding, or should I just use it to cover mud puddles int eh grow out pen? Generally I don't feed a great...

I've been spinning a lot, and watching episodes of this old house. This house and barn were built in 1919 and used to be an orchard. Right now it is encased in aluminum siding, no character. I tend to think of it as the tin can house. Well I decided to look up houses built in 1920's here...

Only two can stay, or all can go.

This is kind of a hopping mad/sad post, without really looking for a solution... For the past two weeks, the dogs have let their rabbit meals go to waste. They only get rabbit once a week if they are fortunate, more like once every 3-4 weeks during prime breeding season. The last three fully...

The F2 litter was born the other day, 9 kits for first time mom. The F1 litter all looked like Silver Fox, complete with Silvering. That isn't really far off, because SF and Angora do share the same body type and head structure, with FA ears a little more upright. Kits were blue and black...

I had a great time with Frosted Rabbit at the Ohio Mini Convention. It was great to get out after a long, hard winter. We got off to a late start, but made up time. I delivered two JW does and their kits to a lovely young lady. I'ved decided not to breed Otter Jws anymore, and I'm so glad...
