guess what we get baby rabbits
you know last week we did the video where we put the nesting boxes in
prepare for baby rabbits we had three rabbits that we here bred. this is our
first time breeding them and only one of the three had babies. now why did that
happen? it could be various things, and from my
research, you know, it could be we didn't leave the male in there long enough and
the male is not fertile the females not fertile, she was not in heat. several things
I'm guessing. so I think next time we'll do a little different but learn from
that but we do got babies. she had eight healthy babies and so far everything's
been fine absolutely fine. the momma's been taking care of them. no issues at
all. they're actually a little over the week old, because my videos are
a week behind but everything is good. in my last video you just got lot of
comments and questions about the rabbits. the feed part of it what are we doing on
feed. we do we feed our rabbits you know a pellet feed....what about hay? we
give our rabbits hay and if you listen to my podcast about goats, I get into hay. if
you don't know I got a podcast, I do got a podcast that comes out weekly, links
are down below, iTunes Spotify stitcher podbean, all the podcast sites but I
talk about alfalfa hay. we don't have a place to get alfalfa hay from. this is
central Alabama, and either a alfalfa doesn't grow good here or B, there's not a market
for alfalfa here. this is pure cattle country here, so most of the hey
we can get really the only way we can get this fresh and bailed is coastal
Bermuda. so we do give our rabbits lots of hay of course they enjoy it
along with the pellets
so generally what we do with the hay is, is we've learned if we buy a big round
bale, it just last a lot more and it's way cheaper. the guy we buy hay from says
that there's roughly 19 square bales in a round bale. square bales generally
run us around eight to nine dollars a piece here. for a really good hay we can
buy a really really great hay in a round bail for forty to forty five bucks so
it's easy to do the math. and how we keep the hay, a round bale will last us a quite
long time and to keep it out of the weather
we put it in a horse trailer and then we put a tarp over it you know just to be
on the safe side and then when we need it we just go in and get it because you
know we're using hay a lot now. we're using hay for the rabbits of course we
got the goats they eat a lot of hay as you know with our meat chickens ,
we build a portable coop now and because we don't run chicken tractors
anymore therefore we put hay in the portable coop and of course you know if
you keep other videos we open up that door and they can free-range out in
the area we got them set up for. we're using a lot more hay now and those
square bells, we were just going through them like water. I did talk about my
waterers, and some people asked me about algae growth and that kind of thing
because I mentioned the black tubing. another tip that can give you that I
think helps algae growth and I should have mentioned in the video and I just
totally forgot apple cider vinegar we'd love apple cider vinegar. so
everybody gets apple cider vinegar here the chickens the Ducks the geese
everybody rabbits and it helps with algae but just the tip about apple cider
vinegar just be cautious when you're buying it there's a lot of companies out
there that will put apple cider vinegar on the label and then a little fine
print it's got artificial flavors to make it
taste like apple cider vinegar. our favorite is Bragg's but there's lots of
others out there but just look for raw, we like organic and usually the one
we buy has the mother in it. you know just check your labels when you're
buying apple cider vinegar and I did a whole video about the benefits apple
cider vinegar if you're interested in that check it
out right over here and I'll put a link down below as well
it got cool on me. another thing we're doing is we're giving them pine cones
that was suggested to us by several people in the comments and we bought two
Silver Fox females and that breeder also suggested it and they gave us some pine cones
so we're giving them pine cones as a little treat. not every day just every
now and then has a little treat and they thoroughly enjoy it
I did want to tell you what we're doing when it comes to breeding and how we're
keeping up with it. we came up with a card system and each row is the letter of
alphabet like this is A B C then each cage is numbered so the first one will
be A1 then A2, A3 , A4 and of course this would be B1 B2 B3 B4 and that
way we can keep up with who bred with who and when they got bred we're writing
on back to the card that A1 bred with B2 on this date and then when we get
home we write it down also on our calendar and a fan of the channel gave
me a spreadsheet that we can plug those numbers in and it kind of keeps up with
when they're gonna have the babies and that kind of thing as well but that's
how we're doing it here we came up with a little card system. how are y'all doing
it ? how y'all keeping up with your your breeding and who bred with who and
that kind of thing I would love to know what y'all are doing just leave it in
the comments below
