Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

No planting anything here either, other than tossing stuff on the compost pile.

I can hardly wait to get the bunny poo shoveled up from under the cages and into the garden. The mind is strong but the body is weak.

My bunny poop is frozen solid. We put storage bins under our hutches to catch the droppings. They are frozen solid currently.

That's funny! I wonder if it made him hungry too

I used to run a pet store (MANY years ago)and we used to order hemp seed for birds that were not thriving. It was supposed to increase their appetites. No idea if that was just bunk or not.

We owned and operated a chain of pet stores in Canada many years ago.
