We put the rabbits together last weekend and he seemed to do well with doe 1. Doe 2 played
a bit hard to get, but we will see later this week when I palpate them. I did think Doe 2 was forming
a bit of
a dewlap when I fed them this evening. That is usually
a sign that she is pregnant but we will have to wait and see.
I'm optimistic about getting at least one litter this time around, and one of my jobs this week is to build the rabbit tractor for the young ones to grow out in. Basically, as soon as they start eating momma's rations they will be moved to the tractor.
Meanwhile I have started cutting hay and I have rebuilt the handbaler so it is upright instead of horizontal. I've also mounted it on
a sled made from
a pallet, so we can drag it behind the lawn tractor. This will save
a lot of raking work as we can fill the baler as we go.
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
