This baby was determined.

And we have another black widow in the same rabbit cage as the last one.
I've seen the web for about a week or so now but thought the spider had moved on because I couldn't ever find her. Well this morning she made her appearance. I was about to open this section of the cage & bam, I saw her. She scared me and I'm glad I saw her before I put my hand in there.
This female has an egg sack in the corner of the cage. We will be dealing with her after church.

Here is our keeper female. We will need name suggestions for this girl too.
Can't wait to see how she grows.

Well, Wilbur got out and had a field day on one of the zucchini plants.

06/07/2024

Picked up this cage for only 10 $ it'll either be used for a grow out rabbit or quail.

The bigger chicks getting to be out of the coop during the day. They enjoy it.

The 12 week Olds. The other black female went to a new home today. She is going to be a very spoiled indoor rabbit.

Snowball's babies will be 3 weeks on Sunday.

Foraged for the rabbits this morning.

04/07/2024

Had to fix one of the doors to the small chicken coop, where the babies are. Something tried to get in.

01/07/2024

I'd like to welcome 2 new girls to our hobby farm/ homestead. They are both Tamuk rabbits. Can't wait to see what they produce in the fall!
Also, we need name suggestions! We already have a snowball. We will possibly go live and draw names from a hat.

We finally got up the trellises, thanks Renee Dittfurth. I'm posting a week late. 😃
These trellises were also my dad's uncles. Thankful to have these.

My hard working men finished fixing the hutch this morning. It has 3 small cages and 1 big cage all in one. Can't wait to get rabbits moved in! It will hold 2 males and the grow out quail for now.

I acquired this very old rabbit hutch. It belonged to my dad's uncle. He passed when I was pretty young, a teenager, I believe. His wife gained the property and everything on it. She never did anything with it. Well, she passed a few months ago. Family is cleaning up the property before they sell it. My dad asked about the hutch for me. They made an arrangement and here it sits. It's upside down because the bottom wire needs replaced. I'm excited to have this hutch! 4 in 1
