...the lottery, there won't be many I'll be able to go to. And I don't buy lottery tickets! :lau
Light switch is at the top of the stairs, on the *other* side of the door. So, unless I want to try to sleep with the lights on... ;)
As for scooting down the stairs on my rear end, knowing me...
...was left. She's an old girl and is inside with me, in a large cage.
And of course I still have my three cats and my dog.
So yes, I still have *some* critters. But I miss going out and taking care of all the chores with coops full of chickens and ducks, and all my herd of rabbits. But not...
@WannaBeHillBilly Yeah, trash-pandas were really bad this year. They TORE into one of the duck coops (metal shed!) and got my three Calls. :( The full-sized Magpie drake that was in there was barely touched...
They also got into my Brahma pen and left me with only three (two roos, of...
Coccidia is hard to get away from, since there are so many strains, even from one yard to another...
Glad they're doing better, but that was pretty bad of someone selling sick birds. :( My friend got a new buck at the rabbit show, and it has a nasty respiratory infection. And she paid $100...
...more on tricolours, as well as ambers. But the castor was too good a deal for me to pass on. She's supposed to be a great foster mom too, and I can certainly use that, just in case. My buns have been throwing *really* large litters! Nice to have an extra doe to toss kits at if need be.
I once dumped a kiddy pool full of minnows, and the ducks gorged themselves! If the bony gill plate worries you, you can always just cut those out.
I would regularly feed the ducks rabbit guts when I would cull, and fish is a heck of a lot more of a natural food for them.
She was fairly relaxed, although she grumbled a lot each time I picked her up. Interesting trivia: rabbits can growl, and also sorta purr!
She was bred 10 days before the show, so don't know yet if she 'took' or not. That could be the reason she was grumbly, or just her personality! :D One...
Overall, I had a good time, although my feet hated me by the end of the day.
My little Belgian Hare did not do well, but I got good info on what to look for. Not that I really plan on breeding her, she's more of a pet.
The blue Rex did okay, I knew she wasn't up to type but she got good...
More pics!
This is a breed called a Thrianta, which is fairly rare. My friend stopped me from getting one. :P
@JacinLarkwell An angora!
Belgian Hares popping out of their cages as soon as it was open. It was hilarious!
That show nearly killed me... As in, I'm getting too old and out of shape for this kind of stuff, lol!
Here are some pics:
My blue Standard Rex doe peeking up from the judging enclosure.
Here she is being judged.
The castor Standard Rex doe that I bought. :) Excuse my old rusty...
No, not that kind of show. It's very similar to a cat show, from what I know. Different 'rings' (basically a table where the judge takes the rabbit out of it's cage and compares it to the SOP), and rabbits are ranked compared to others of their breed and colour. Then final judging for Best in...
I am now back in the city. Well, suburbs. Don't think I could stand downtown. BLEH!
With me are the dog and cats, as well as the two rabbits with babies (although the one's are weaned now and I started selling them), and my remaining OEGB, which resides inside in a large cage because Ottawa...
Welp, so much for that...
The storage unit I rented out was broken into over the weekend, as were the other units in that row.
Two things were taken (there wasn't much in it), a garden cart (which the thieves probably used to load up the contents of the other units), and my desktop computer...
Another update. Bunnies will most probably be going to stay at a friend's house for a few months while I crash in my other friend's basement. I should be out of here by Tuesday evening.
After that, I will be looking for something more permanent with my son and his roommate. With three of us...
Sorry for not posting anything in a while, I don't mean to worry anyone.
Only reply I got to the ad I placed was from a scammer. Went to look at one place, which would have been perfect as they raised chickens and ducks and had no problems with the rabbits, but it fell through when I said I...
I'm on the list, which is several years long. But it's just for this county. I need to apply to other counties, but their waiting list is probably also years long.
If I hadn't had to buy a generator (or pay the rent here for three months in trying to prove I was more trustworthy and get the...
