Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

I think Drum... I know... it’s so crazy what they catch off the docks! My son grabbed an alligator right out of the water last weekend! A small one, mind you... but still! Probably about two and half feet!

That's awesome! I lived in Florida for a short time when I was in the 4th grade...I remember seeing the alligators sleeping up on the docks...they were pretty amazing!

I forgot to mention that we fish too, but we don't get biggies like that...those are amazing! I'm seeing a catfish, but what are the other two?

Wow! That’s a LOT of fish sticks!!!

The formula that I ordered for the kits arrived today, the nipples were definitely not small enough, so I tried a dropper and they weren't interested in that either! I then took the mama and laid her on her back, my husband brought the underfed babies and we placed them on her tummy, that worked, she didn't like it very much, but it worked! I don't know if she has enough milk, but I'm hoping if we do this each day, supply and demand will increase her milk production! I've also learned that there are certain foods we can give to her that can help to increase her milk supply It will be a miracle if all of them make it!

That's certainly a lot of kits.

Yum...one of my favorite foods!!! I really need to come to Australia! If I had a choice of going anywhere in the world it would be Australia and New Zealand!

That's certainly a lot of kits.

It's way to many...I hope she never has this many again!

Pretty ingenious Rene! Hope it works for you and the babies

Thank you Debby! I hope it works too! I wish I could have videoed it, you can't believe how hard it is to keep a squirming kit from falling off of a rabbit when she's on her back...they are non stop motion...lol!
We are going on a trip next week and now I'm a bit stressed about leaving! I hope that the underfed babies will be strong enough by that time to make sure that they get their turn too!
