Meet our newest addition to the rabbitry! She will be starting off our line of purebred Californians. If everything goes well, we should have a litter of wiggly kits in 31 days! 🙏

Big thanks to the Werth family at Changing Tides Rabbitry and Farm for this lovely doe!!

Any ideas for cute names for her?

Daisy's litter was born! I love coming out to a hump of pulled fur. I wonder what we have in there?

Our 5 week old purebred NZ blues are growing up! We have a mix of does and bucks. All are handled regularly and with love ❤️.

Here are our 3 week old kits from mama Snow. This is probably my favorite age. They are small enough to fit in your hands, but so fluffy at this age!

This is a great reminder when many of us are eager to prep our gardens for spring. Especially with these warm temps!

Aww, it's nap time for these little blues and their mama. Either that or they're all hudled together plotting something.😂

🪱Want a robust garden this year? Try vermicomposting🪱 Check my captions for quick tips on maintaining a bin.

As gardening season approaches, many of us are eager to get our hands dirty and start prepping our plots for another year of vibrant growth. One way to ensure your plants thrive is by using nutrient-rich fertilizers, and worm castings are among the most potent and natural options available.

Here I am maintaining our worm composting bin, and I'm here to tell you: it's surprisingly easy! Not only are worm castings packed with essential nutrients, but these little composting champions also offer a multitude of benefits for your garden.

1. Waste Reduction: Worms devour kitchen scraps, reducing landfill contributions and creating valuable compost. Instead of throwing it away, use it to help boost your garden plants!

2. Nutrient Powerhouse: Worm castings are packed with nutrients readily absorbed by plants, promoting healthy growth and in turn more robust harvests.

3. Improved Soil Structure: Castings loosen compacted soil, enhancing aeration and drainage, creating a happy home for plant roots.

4. Moisture Retention: Worms help soil retain moisture, reducing watering needs.

5. Suppressed Disease: Castings promote beneficial microbes that fight off plant pathogens, leading to healthier and more resilient plants.

6. Easy to Maintain: Setting up a worm bin is simple and requires minimal effort. Just feed them scraps and keep their environment comfortable.

7. Educational Fun: ‍‍‍ It's a fascinating learning experience for kids (and adults!) to observe the worms' composting magic.

8. Sustainable Gardening:♻️By creating your own fertilizer, you reduce reliance on chemical products and promote environmentally friendly practices.

9. Cost-Effective: Worm castings are a free, natural, and long-lasting soil amendment.

10. Endless Supply: 🪱 With proper care, your worm population will thrive, providing a continuous source of nutrient-rich castings for your gardening needs.

What are your thoughts and experiences with worm composting? Do you currently or would you try it?

Yesterday was picture day for some of our bunnies and even the cat was joining in on the fun. Cookie, you photo bomber!!😂

Aww, looks like our sweet girl Daisy is fixin' to build her nest. She's about five days out from her expected kindling date! We all get excited over here when the mamas start walking around with hay in their mouths.

Pedigreed New Zealands. UPDATE: NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Ready to hop into your hutch!
These beauties were born on CHRISTMAS EVE! I almost want to keep the white one and name her Christmas. These does are 8 weeks old. They would make terrific pets or breeders (with great bloodlines) and they have been handled almost daily. 💕

Our big mama Snow Chocolate is checking on her 2.5 week old kits. These are such cuties. It was our first time getting a broken tan/red kit. We just can't wait to see how cute they get as they grow 🐇

Another good mama sitting happy with her 3 week old kits. We had all blues in this litter. Just adorable. Bella looks so proud and satisfied.
