I think I will try this.....

GLOBAL BUCKETS

SATURDAY AFTERNOON POST

Here are pics of the new babies:



This is a great nest:



These are going in the freezer around April 14th:



Also I ordered Moringa seeds and plants which arrived today!




They are in shipping shock so I hope they pull through. Here in N TX I will have to work hard to get them to overwinter. I will have to heavily layer with rabbit manure and mulch and possible prune and cover them. They semi tropical but here is why I am planting them:

1. 7 times more Vitamin C than oranges
2. 4 times more Vitamin A than carrots
3. 3 times more Iron than spinach
4. 3 times more Potasium than bananas
5. All of your essential amino acids

And from what I have heard they taste wonderful. To both rabbits and people.

KITS!!!!!!!!

I GOT HOME TODAY READY TO TAKE OUT THE NEST BOX AND GET THE DOE READY TO CULL THIS WEEKEND AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW???

THE NEST BOX HAD A HUGE BALL OF FUR AND WHEN I PULLED IT BACK THERE WERE 6 PRETTY KITS INSIDE!!!

SHE BELIEVED ME WHEN I TOLD HER I WOULD EAT HER.

LAST CHANCE

Well I have a heat lamp under the nest box....


I have lined the box with borrowed fur.....


And she is interested.....


Now if only she can figure out how to deposit the little pink wigglers in the right place.


MORNING UPDATE: This is so frustrating. One dead baby on the wire this morning. And between 5:15 am and 6 am she was furiously building a nest. Now she is just laying there and I am afraid to go to work because If I am here I can at least put them on a heating pad until she is done and then put them in the box and cover them with hay. aaarrrrggghhhh

SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got out of the truck at 8:15pm. The moon is full. The breeze is warm. I filled a nest box full of pine shavings and straw and put it in the cage with my rabbit named A. Last chance for her. Babies are due on Sunday.

Then I heard it. The frogs were awake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW NOT TO HOMESTEAD

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET GREEDY

COYOTE STEALTH

There is just something freaky about the howl of a coyote 20 feet from the porch were your giant alert dog lays.

This took us both off guard. He roared off the porch and I roared out of my recliner.

So they are beginning to test his sight and hearing limits. This could be bad.
