Dozen new American Chinchilla Rabbits! (Syren x Sandrider)
Yesterday, Syren had a litter of 12! It is the biggest litter she had ever had so far! This is my second breeding of Syren and Sandrider. The first was […]
Where are you Christmas?
90% humidity….. are you f $#@ing kidding me? It was 82 degrees today! I don’t know how much more the rabbits can take of this! The temperature dropped to 30 […]
All Still Here!
I haven’t lost another female since my last post. It has been chaos around here, cleaning and sanitizing absolutely EVERYTHING! I got a new propane torch that I can’t wait […]
The menace is back…..
The pain is still pretty raw around here, i have lost 18 kits out of 29, which is hard enough. But when I woke up yesterday to find that my […]
Thestral x Sandrider litter
Thestral had a litter on her very first breeding! True to form, like her mother. Sadly, she only had three babies, and with the temperature being so cold, they froze […]
That B#$%&
So, I know it is Mr. Mustards first litter, and she wasn’t really taking great care of them. They were not very chubby, but not super fat. I showed her […]

I think i have mentioned my new hobby that is charcuterie. This hobby pretty much means that i am using the entire animal to create food. A rillette is a […]
Don’t Worry, I hate me too…
So, butchering is always super difficult. It takes me a lot of mental strength to do it. This is especially the case with guinea pigs. They are sweet, adorable, and […]
Fall is BUSY
Well, my part time job at the horse barn is over (ask for details if you want them). It was a good way to supplement the income and provide food […]
Breed like Rabbits, Or Not?
Well, we were expecting seven litters this past few weeks and got zero! Super frustrating! The bucks may have been sterile from the heat of summer. Nobody took… (Two are […]
