Rinda, I thought you'd gotten out of the Isbars. Do you still breed them?

Here are a couple of my baby Jersey Woolies

:-O
Oh my, those are adorable!
I have my heart set on some French Lops....they get over 11 lbs. i'm going to figure out how to make a safe rabbit yard and give myself a few wks to see if it's something I want to take on. This one I've got is 8 wks old and sits and snuggles and looks around...is that how they are as adults? Are they content to be cuddled after playtime?
I just never knew!

Yes bunnies love to cuddle. You just have to start them out being held when they are young.

Does anyone have any small animals they need to get rid of? Not chickens lol but something small I can keep in my classroom? I am going to be teaching 6th and 7th grade Science and want to have lots of animals and plants in my room. I am on a less than shoe string budget lol

Yes I do. I don't have anything available at the moment, I'm hatching for myself and saving the pullets for next year. I will have chicks for sale in another month or two. In the fall i may have a few sexed one for sale that im choosing not to keep. Oh I do have one black pullet left, she's about 5 months old. Pm me if you went her and we'll talk details.

I love all the stories and pictures of dogs everyone is sharing. Super sweet stuff. I feel guilty for getting another dog, like my GP will be hurt. I would love to just let him freely roam and trust him to stay and I feel like he mostly would. But it will only take 1 time for him to take off and disappear or get hit by a car again. So he's going to be fenced. I think he will be happy to have ducks and goats and room to run. He's a darn good dog that just needs to be fenced.

@BetsyOK thank you for the info. I'm going to do covered runs. I just keep thinking about it and its really not worth the risk. I've never made or designed them before tho so Im looking up designs now.

Also I know everyone loves hardware cloth over chicken wire but I have TONS of chicken wire. Would chicken wire doubled be as effective as hardware cloth or should I just give up on using this chicken wire?

I have 36" of hardware cloth on the lower 1/2 of my coops and chicken wire above that. I have never had any problems so far. I have shadecloth for the "roof". I have small coops inside each pen. I also burried 18" of more hardware cloth all around. It was a lot of trouble but nothing like a dog or racoon can dig under.
