It’s another BEAUTIFUL day out here today. For some reason my mind just ✨ clicked ✨, and I thought: “Oh yes, I should finish this waterer that I started months ago. It will be no big deal.”
It’s amazing what a cool breeze and temperatures in the 80’s can do for your motivation and memory! 😂
Next project will be removing all the bunnies and deep cleaning the hutch. I was sick with pneumonia earlier this year, and the gutter system became so clogged with hay it has never quite recovered. 😕 But, now I have a 200 foot hose and pressure washer to help me get the job done with the least amount of stress for these bunnies. Wish me luck! 🍀

🎉 💦 We got the leaking to 🛑! Now that the misters are working perfectly, ALL the rabbits are so excited and happy. It was so fun to see them excited. I believe they thought it was raining at first 🌧️. These misters will help to reduce the temperature up to 15/20 degrees!
You can also see *some* of our new additions here, including Biggie (black otter Buck), and a beautiful Castor doe (unnamed). We also have a few more surprises to show you soon! 🐯🐇 and one GIANT of a surprise to announce soon! 😉

Have you been wondering where we’ve been? We’ve been trying to survive the 110 degree Texas summer index! This heatwave 🔥 for August has been no joke. Late July I installed this really awesome shade screen for the morning direct ☀️ was beginning to be torturous for these bunnies.
In August, for the first time this year we had to drag out the extension cords and box fans. When that wasn’t enough, I installed this misting system. Watch to the end to see if it works!

🐸LEAP LITTER UPDATE🐸
Graycie is proving with a second chance, she can flourish. 🥰 We obtained this (now) beautiful grey Rex doe from another rabbit homesteader that didn’t want her anymore. The owner said she was an “Okay mother” and “didn’t want to bother with her” anymore. Look at her now. 🥹 Six beautiful babies all healthy, large, and without any help. This video has it all: heartwarming, adorable, and slapstick comedy rolled all into one short video clip. Watch till the end to catch it all. 😆 There has been a lot of interest in this litter already, especially does, so if you’re wanting one of these little cuties, please reach out soon to get on the waitlist. ❤️ ✅ I may be keeping one of the chocolate does for our program should there be an opportunity. Thanks for all your support, shares, and comments.

Here’s more kit cuteness for your enjoyment. I love these little chocolates. ❤️ Even though we had thought they were originally blues, chocolates are enjoyable too. 🤩

Well now… Graycie sure was eager to inspect the newly placed nesting box. She is preparing to kindle in a few days. I can hardly wait to see what colors her kits are! 🐰 ❤️
