Ugh. Need to try different nipples and maybe clamps.

Zero kits & Darkie foster. She's a calm mom, doesn't care at all when I handle the kits, just turns an ear, feeds them well, too. Just gotta get her to have them all live and not loose any. Will have another chance if these continue to grow well.

I've had six week old young bucks terrify all their siblings and be nippy with me. Earned him a stew pot.....
Yeah. Supposedly have a guy wanting 5-6 for a butcher class. So, chose the biggest 6 to grow out for him, she's one of them. Just hope he shows up the first week of October, as planned.
Would of been dog food if he hadn't of contacted me in time.

I'm being extra strict these days. Culled two feed dumpers and a water bowl sitter kits last week. I'm tired of dealing with problems, so away they go!


Had to swap the bowl for a nipple on Swirl's cage. I had filled up the water bin last night. He drained it completely over night....About to buy new nipples.


Also bought 4 bags of 16% for the bucks & dry does 2 days ago. But realized I should feed this to the dry does today, so it starts tomorrow. Trying to keep track on how long a 50# bag lasts them. Might be worth it to continue.
18% wasn't available, should be delivered tomorrow to the store.

Seems like I've been sweeping up the barn every 3 days, after pan dumping, and there's always more to clean! 😵 But it's finally getting decent. Hay is the bulk of the mess. Ugh.

Zero's 3 kits & Darkie foster. Fat n happy. Foster still content to sleep in the nest than explore. *phew*

Darkie kits. Kicked them out today, lol, to start growing up. Black ones in background.

No pics. Freckles kits, 2 escaped. Forgot about the jfeeder hole I didn't cover up. It's covered now and everyone is in the nest napping.

3 does and a buck will be culled in about a week, if they don't sell. Going to breed the buck first. The broken tort will be bred and probably be listed or culled in about 2mo as well. And the blue rex will also be culled in a couple of weeks, no listing her. Looks like all of her kits will probably be dog food, too. Not seeing anything worthwhile yet.
Should free up some space, though, I've got does in pairs & with their dams, so the space will be used up real quick. 😅
Gotta find a better poop pan for the one cage that's missing it, then will use the top row of the stackers.

Made a posing & picture taking nook!
Need to make an attached phone holder as well. Then add a couple of clips to hold info cards on the back wall, so IDing will be easier when cropping pics.

A minor suggestion: If you are going to use this primarily for getting posed pics for your own use and posting on here, maybe put a grid on that back wall. That would make it easier to see the shape of the rabbit and compare them. Rabbit A peaks at x squares high and is x squares wide but rabbit B peaks at y squares etc.

Ugh. Is depth actually needed?
Bit more meat on a longer, higher reaching spine, I guess?
Still keeping her, she's great otherwise.
Looks like my table needs an extended arm for the phone. 🤔 On the table itself is too close.
