Going to purchase a new tarp or two tomorrow.... see if I can make it better overall.
Anyways, got the winter tarps on and ready it was such a nice day.
Got the yard cleaned up some as well.
AND I can't say I'm remarkably happy with it. I will most certainly need to do some tweaking. I moved the entrance to the middle of the tents and I don't know how well that's going to end up working out....

This young sow had three babies, only one of which survived birth. That pup looks ALOT like her momma. This is what it Currently ContainsThank You For purchasing a bunny from me. Bunny Care First week give hay and pellets only. These bunnies are used to getting 1. in the morning pellets and the odd household leftovers. 2. in the evening, a. big handful of grass or grass hay or b. 1 hay cube per rabbit (timothy/alfalfa mix) or c. apple branch/s Pelleted feed - Generally speaking on 16% protein feed - For mini rex & holland lops,½ -3/4 cup - For polish rabbits – 1/3-1/2 cup - For Harlequin rabbits – 1 cup. 1 cup of greens = 1 oz of pellets Young rabbits should be free fed pellets until they mature. I find, generally speaking, that young rabbits will eat 1-1.5 times their adult ration. Fresh water - every day, fresh water My bunnies are used to crocks in the winter, and in the summer water bottles that use the roller ball system. Grass based hay - orchard or timothy grass - Many will say give daily. When in molt every day a must, otherwise hay at least 2-3 times per week. Other stuff :) - not at all necessary, but if giving treats, go for green. - NO CABBAGE family plants particularly to Lops. If giving new foods, GO SLOWLY. Think the size of a quarter. Give that. Next day check for poopy bum, if all good then gradually increase amounts given. Rabbits don't like changes in their diet. The first sign of trouble is either not pooping OR getting loose poops. If a rabbit stops eating, drinking or pooping, get to a vet ASAP. If a rabbit gets loose poops give them nothing but hay for at least three days. Then gradually reintroduce other foods. I heartily recommend using Martins Little Friends Rabbit food. Contains yucca which helps to neutralize the smell of rabbit pee. NOTE rabbits LOVE this food. Rabbit housing Basic assumption.. the more room the better. Rabbits are happier and healthier if allowed room to stretch out and jump and run. For ideas on rabbit housing see here: http://rabbittalk.com/blogs/athomepets/2011/01/19/housing-yourindoor- rabbit-purchased/ OR http://rabbittalk.com/blogs/athomepets/2011/01/18/housing-yourindoor- rabbit-building-your-own-rabbit-cage/ Don't use cedar bedding. They can be litter trained. Rabbits naturally like to “go” in the same spot. There are numerous resources on-line to assist in this. Easiest is to hang their hay in the chosen corner. Other rabbit basics Rabbits do not need the company of other rabbits. They do just fine on their own. They do like to socialize with their people, and sometimes with the family dog or cat (depends a lot on the family dog or cat). Rabbit kisses are a huge compliment! They are easy to keep. Their waste is excellent for the garden should you have one. It can be used as is, it does not have to age. To understand rabbit communication this link may be helpful: http://language.rabbitspeak.com/ An Important Fact to Remember: Rabbits in the real world are considered food by EVERYTHING. Anything that eats meat will eat a rabbit. Rabbits are hardwired to know this as well. So they know that if their feet are off the ground that SOMETHING wants to eat them. Teach your rabbits that you are safe. This means picking it up in a way that you will not hurt it. Cover it's eyes when you walk. Have it firmly supported at all times. A rabbit that trusts you is a rabbit that won't hurt you. Understand the difference between a cage protective rabbit and an aggressive rabbit. http://rabbittalk.com/blogs/athomepets/2011/12/28/aggressive-rabbit-orprotective- rabbit/ AT HOME PETS policy. I make an effort to find good homes for all my rabbits and to be responsible for them. I have a permanent return policy. Purchase becomes a rental. Just bring back bunny and it's stuff (helps with rehoming). Since I can't be responsible for what you do with your rabbits, I have a 24 hour care policy. I promise to sell you rabbits that for all intents and purposes appear to be healthy rabbits. I require that if your rabbit shows signs of illness I must know within 72 hours of sale. No refunds given, just a bunny exchange upon return of original rabbit. Feel free to contact me with any questions. [email protected] Feel free to go to my website for help with bunny care. http://athomepets.weebly.com/ What changes am I going to make?Make the font smaller. Add a section on GOOD treats to eat. What to do the first week you have a bunny. A bit about bunny behaviour - being space protective, teenage years etc. Probably just tighten things up a bit. Do you have suggestions?For what you think is vital to have in a bunny care sheet?
Four young rabbitsCagesIt was really nice as some of the people paid a delivery fee which I was able to pass long to my hubby. :) Always nice to be able to help out with gas. :)
This little girl is a calm quiet lass. She'll make a good pet. Totally expecting her ears will lop by the time she's six months old. $40, take her home today. :) This little girl is an energizer bunny. She'll need an active home. She'll make a body laugh with all her antics as she matures though. If not in a breeding home she will most likely need to be neutered. $50 to ensure she goes to a proper home or stays here. :) This little lad is coming along quite nicely. He's the one who got banged up in the scare a couple weeks back. He appears to have healed, I'm giving him a bit more time at home before I let him go. I want him well set before rehoming him.

AuthorI have been breeding rabbits for a quite a few years. I thoroughly enjoy them as animals and think they make great pets. I also like to take some of them to rabbit shows to see how they measure up to the standards. For the BEST rabbit forum I've ever found. Go to Rabbittalk.com. Good for the pet rabbit owner as well as the breeder for meat or show.
