Escape day




I came home today to 9 kits and moma runing free. Can't wait till my new cages get here.

Fodder

I dislike pellets. It's not for any real good reason- just irritates me having to go seek out pellets with 18% protein. 
I like the idea of fodder- but I am not sure how practical it is until I get a real green house. But spring is coming- so I figured I would give it a try. 
I had a hell of time finding seeds for it. I found black oil sunflower seeds easily but I didn't want to use those. I feed black oil sunflower seeds and plan on increasing that if I ever move to full fodder. I found  oats but was worried about mold. 
I found whole barley at a mil. 
This is the first set that I have sprouted. I didn't keep real good track of when I started it.

Pictures from the Emunclaw Show

This was my second show. It was really cool to see all the bunnies. I wish I didn't have to work on saturdays so I could attend more shows.

Not a great picture of Nitro from Brokenella Pam last litter. Disappointed to find out he has different color toe nails so he won't be attending more shows. Lucks for him he is well loved in a fiber home.
Val on the show table- unsure what is going on.
Ben trying to hide from being groomed again.


The english did not do well and Val and Ben did not place. Ben however did get some very positive comments from the judges.

20 days old

The EA kits are super cute. They are getting really active. 
Moma gave up her coat. I haven't weighted it yet but I guess it's a least 2 ounces - which is pretty good. She pulled out at least 3 for the litters each time.

The odd couple

George and Benzo seem to be living very happy together for the past month or so. George actually looked depressed to me when I first brought him home. Put him in the cage with Benzo and they both seem more active. I have watched them a lot and no fighting. I was afraid George might not get enough food- but looking at him today- it doesn't seem to be an issue. Benzo's coat also seems awesome.
