Not new, but returning!

[Rabbit Warren Man]

What a rough week already...
Was supposed to be 24in wide. Brought 36" to the meetup. But kept with the agreed upon price.
But I lost all of my wire cutters. Of course. So I had to buy a new pair. Third or fourth now...
Gonna be a witch to cut that much off the whole 50 feet!
Then what am I supposed to do with 11 inch width of floor wire? Make tiny single hole transport cages? Wire them together for franken-floors? Frick, idk.
It's 14 gauge, GAW floor wire, the good stuff. Going to be replacing the floors in my stackers. And join together other stackers for the 2×4ft holes.

Got the roll rolled all the way to the barn.
Need to setup a permanent place for the rabbitry. I'd have to fully enclose the area properly, so winter isn't he'll. But then what area?

The two carports are attached to old barn. One can be enclosed. It's 13.5×9ft area.
I have odd cages that are heavy duty as well as the two heavy duty stackers.
Stackers are 28in wide. 4.66ft of space. They're for dwarfs, so double doored and used to be split for 16 holes, 4 levels. 8 holes. Going to keep all bucks in there only.
Odd ones are one 4ft and one 3ft. Both split, so 4 holes.
And one about 5ft I'll have to remake. 1 hole.
So, those use up 8.66 feet of 13.5ft. 13 holes.

The other stackers, joined to be 4ft wide.
Two 3hole tsc cages. 3-6hole.
Two 3hole medium cages. 3-6hole.
One already joined 3hole medium cage. 3-6hole.
One already joined 2hole medium cage. 2-4hole.
16ft of cages. Doesn't fit in 13.5ft. 11-22 holes.

Currently have 23 adult rabbits. So, would work out. Need to cull some adults out.

Wanted to simply unroll and attach cage tops to it for long cage banks, but realizing that's more work than needed.

Kicked a couple litters out of nests. Slows growth too much, but it's still freezing at night, so I'm still worried.
Others getting more nest time.

 

[Secuono]

Biggest two Lynx kits stayed with mom. Pulled the buck today to list him. Doe is being kept.

Ugh, such messes...Neither look like keepers...
Depending on how you hold them or don't hold them, shape changes.
Sis 1, braced in first, giving the look of wider, shorter shoulder. 2nd, let go, but still bracing some. 3rd, no pracing, real shoulders, long n low.
Bred Sugar to Jasper, nest due April 12th. Hoping those kits look better. Zippy & Rivian to pair with her later on, too.

Sis 2, first is most accurate.

 

[Secuono]

Two left from this litter. Gotta redo the lynx turtle, lol. I believe it's also a doe, but forgot to get confirmation on video. Also missed weight on it.

 

[Secuono]

Vickie kits. Note how tiny at 12 weeks! Do I keep the heaviest or best shaped? Seems either way, it'll be a slow process.
Flat, but the largest. Loin seems the best out of them?

He's powdery soft, much softer than rex. Apparently, its not a good thing, but dang, so much softer! Want to keep him just for that, lol. Shoulder rounds instead of flat line up, and that's a good thing.

Unknown color. Flatish.

 

[Secuono]

Straight shoulder line seems to say not a good shoulder, right? Smallest, too.

 

[Secuono]

Still an odd shape.

Ugh, back to bracing, so didn't get a top pic, since shoulders would look wider than reality. She's younger and heavier than that stupid new doe!


The new doe, lost weight...6.70s now....


He wasn't in the mood.

Keping Quincy, Quin replacement. She looks generally good. Super friendly, for now.

 

[Secuono]

Castor and unknown color will go.
Got someone wanting 4 rex buns, hope they show up.

 

[freelady96]

I'm learning alot about great characteristic traits when I view your pictures. That's something I know little about. My only yeah, is if I get over a 5lb on processing day!
Excellent record keeping! I'm inspiring to be more like that.

 

[Secuono]

$298 in the red. 4 bun sales at 70.

Currently $228 in the red.

 

[Secuono]

7 mins of buns

 

[olhippityhop]

I think one of them wanted to eat your jacket. Are they all from the same litter?

Yep, Quincy is super friendly and nibbly.
Several different litters and ages. 7 litters, 3 bucks, rest are does. About to be 6 litters and just 2 bucks, as I've decided to cull out the Rusty line.

 

[Secuono]

Sugar has always tried to eat my clothes through the door. She got access the other day while posing her kits. Weirdo.

 

[Secuono]

$228 in the red. 30 in bun sales.

Currently $198 in the red.


Everyone out of nests now.

She's not a demon when the kits aren't in the nest.

Her two runts are still kickin. Just tiny.

Currently $198 in the red.

Rex are always so photogenic
