My brother wants me to go look now bc 2 of 5 are out on the ground. I'm afraid to go look in case they need care... Anybody know about baby wild rabbits? Please tell me they look old enough to feed themselves.

Leave them. Maybe they will remember and leave your garden alone. Also babies hang out close to "home" for awhile. The mama may go out without them, but she will come back when it's safe (when you aren't standing there).




I think this has been andwered. Hay is feed, probably more expensive too. Straw (I think a different plant even) is waste and can be bedding.





All our trees are conifers! There are slash piles of branches people set out when the town chipping program comes to their neighborhood. It's all part of the wildfire mitigation plan. No leaves.



My friend once said that her dogs eat rabbit turds like popcorn! I think all dogs view rabbits and chickens as treat dispensers.



Rabbit are pests. Rabbits carry disease. Rabbits are great coyote snacks. It's hard to say if we have more rabbits or coyotes there's so many of both!

In other news ther are now 10 wildfires in Colorado. I am scared. The one by my house (about 8 miles away currently) blew up to 1500 acres yesterday. We knew it was bad when they sent us a plane. Evacuations have begun. The view from my house...

Oh my that smoke is extremely scary.

I wasn't thinking good last night when @redranger209 was bothering me.
I was tired.
New threads suck.
We are staying here.

I'm not awake just yet.
I quickly looked at all 3 balutties and there is movement in all three.

I think they are all three on different days.


I'm going to trace air cells, label them with their new names, take photos and videos as soon as I wake up.

WTH just happened with the quote above?
I'll fix it in a few when I get on my computer.


I can not believe these eggs are alive.
We must figure out a way to keep them alive this to me.
The bator should work.
I need to put the Turner in now too before I forget.

They are alive because I will need to rebuild my flock once the whole freakin state burns to the ground

Man if I could I would ship them to you in a heartbeat.

I am reconsidering my feelings about winter.
We are in the middle of an excessive heat advisory. If I step outside it's like a humid OVEN...can barely breathe! Sure hope my birds are up to it.
I think we would all prefer the extreme cold or a lovely BLIZZARD.
pls excuse the whine.

I really do giggle when you all fuss about it being 90.
I can't help myself.
Probably the same way you all laugh when I complain about freezing to death when it is 50 here.

Sucks. I have family in south Cali that got their county evacuated.
