Another Nine for Magician
What an amazing rabbit! She is amazingly productive. Even with the heat, she managed to kindle a litter of nine last Saturday. I really wish she was a bit bigger, […]

New Guinea Pig Babies
Burgundy, Butters, and Mandarin had babies this week. In the record heat! Poor Butters, had four, but they were early, and only one is running around. Four others were lost […]
Syren Kits
Syren had six kits this morning. My litters are low in size, and I hope that is heat related. Or I didn’t wean their last kits fast enough, or they […]
Finished Processing Magicians Kits
I have a repeat customer with an exceedingly large snake. So, he wanted one processed rabbit and four whole prey rabbits. Two weeks ago, I processed the first half of […]
Sorceress the Yard Rabbit
Our rabbit assembly came crashing to the ground and one of the cages broke open and Sorceress and seven of her kits escaped. I got all but one kit, who […]

It works!!!!

Rabbit Cooling System
The forecast is pretty grim for those of us with small animals. But I went to install a cooling system for my rabbits. They are in the shade and covered, […]
Some Days, You Feel Like Giving Up
Over the month of June the temperatures rise from 83°F to 88°F. Rabbits hate heat, but these temps aren’t awful. The bucks go sterile anyways. So, I didn’t feel guilty breeding back in […]
New Back Pen Piggies
Another one of Raspberry’s January babies (Snozberry), had babies, as well as a few others. I also removed five piggies (2 girls and a 3 boys) to the grow out […]
Almost Lost Cocoa

Brimstone Kits
I don’t know if it is the heat, or the fact I bred back to back, but after successfully raising a litter of 10 kits, she had 6 kits. At […]
Flyte’s Litter
On 6/7, Flyte the American Chinchilla Rabbit had a litter of seven kits. This may be the last litter for her for the summer, as it is hot out, and […]
