The Mud…. and Driveway Start
We don’t have a driveway, obviously… being a brand new construction and all. This wasn’t a major issue until we got like, 2.5″ of rain in a two day span. […]
New Years Day!
So, first thing in the morning we had to run and get more EMC conduit and the proper bits to actually use the nail gun and compressor (yet another hardware store […]
New Years Eve Construction Binge
I rang in New Years 2017 with my last night in the Coleman 4 person tent that had been my home for the last three months that I was living […]
Construction, Day #1
We only really had a few options to actually build the house… So, we simply were going to build a platform resting on the ground on some cement blocks, with […]
Why a Platform Tent?
Moving off the grid was a choice done out of necessity. The land itself cost $24,000, which was pretty much everything that we had. We took out a personal loan […]
First things First… Supplies!
Well, first things first on the new homestead…. Need shelter, a fence to keep the dogs and rabbit beasts safe, and a rabbit barn to protect the rabbits from the […]
Back online, off the grid!
Well, it has been way too long since I updated. After I lost 2/3 of my stock to a Clostridium contaminated feed, and I had a bunch of show quality […]
A Magyk and Sandrider litter, Part 2
So, the first litter from a Magyk and Sandrider litter are less than impressive. They are very small, and also spill their feed everywhere. They are cute American Chinchillas though. […]
Syren and Sandrider, Litter SY7
Well, it is hot, so we are finishing up the last litters until August. My beloved, consistent Syren had a litter of 7 healthy, bouncy, American Chinchilla kits on June […]
A Sphinx
I was in need of some new, higher quality blood. So, when the opportunity to buy a proven, Pedigreed, American Chinchilla doe came up, I jumped on the opportunity to […]
I Swear, I am Back!
Wow! Usually I am much better at keeping things updated. But I have had a Lyme flare-up, and managed to drop a butcher cleaver on my foot, requiring stitches. I […]
A New Barn
Well, it is time to construct a new rabbit barn. All 22 cages in our old barn are filled right now, and we are upping our production levels and show […]
Sorceress x Warlock
Well, this is a really small litter for Sorceress. I think her body needed a break. So we are letting her have recovery time with her small litter, with 4 […]
Thestral is a Mom Again
So, I kept Thestral who is one of Magician’s daughters, as a breeding doe last year. She just hit breeding age, had a litter of six, and boom. Wound up […]
StarCatcher x Sandrider
StarCatcher was my pick of the litter from my first purebred AmChin breeding. She is the sister of doe SY48. She reached 5 lbs by 8 weeks (seriously almost unheard […]
SY48 x Buckbeak
So, this doe is promised to someone, hence the awful name. She managed to get herself knocked up by her brother a month ago, so she had her kits on […]
Lactating Bunny Mummy Bites
So, after having some trouble with one of my does not making enough milk i decided to find a solution, and since it popped up on Facebook, I decided to […]
Granain x Buckbeak
And Granain had another litter of 9 baby bunnies! She was super successful raising her last litter, and I have high hopes. Lots of color variety.
Brat x Sandrider
Well, early on Saturday morning, Brat the American Blue doe had a litter of 11 kits. She was bred with Sandrider, the American Chinchilla. She did such a great job […]
The Pegasus
So, my husband and I drove into the mountains to see Mountain Top Fibers, and Deb Clemmons, one of the best AmChin breeders in the region. We got over 60 […]
