Taxidermy
I skin my rabbits whole to sell to taxidermist which I started selling last fall and the lady working on them has finally gotten around to some of my pelts. So fun to see my rabbits turned into cool work of art.

Wanted to share the latest one she did with one of my Harlequins! This was a buck I wanted to keep back but he didn't reach senior weight by 9 mths so I cut my losses.

Rabbit Roll Call š° ā No Science, Just Shenanigans
Okay, weāve been deep in myth-busting mode lately š
Important workā¦ but my brain (and probably yours) could use a breather. So letās switch gears for a minute. š° Fun rabbit check-in: Whatās your favorite non-serious thing about your rabbits right now? ā¢ A weird habit ā¢ A name that makes no sense ā¢ A personality quirk ā¢ A rabbit that thinks itās a cat/dog/goat ā¢ A āwhy are you like thisā moment No debates. No nutrition math. No correcting anyone. Just rabbits being rabbits. Iāll start: I have one who DEMANDS head Pets evertime I walk in the barnš Your turn š

So I mentioned my Tans earlier and one of them I got when she was 3mths and she has the funniest personality! She's gotten loose a few times when I realized a goat who was brought in to have her babies was reaching over and pulling off her feeder. So she ended up getting loose twice. The first time I thought I was crazy and missed her sitting behind me on a cage but the second time I looked all over the barn and ended up getting the feed scoop to shake them yelled her name Squirrel. She came running around and jumped on top of a 3 stack of cages and was looking at me like "where's lunch?"! I know Tans can be known as a little crazy, at least the three I have are sweet, but this girl apparently can clear anything and it's insane. š¤£

Preview: Let's Talk about Homestead Myths
This graphic is built on outdated assumptions, not rabbit nutrition science. ā¢ Pellets are not a āsupplementā in modern rabbit nutrition. Properly formulated MEASURED pellets are designed to be a complete, balanced diet ā¢ āLOOSE Hay as the foundationā is not evidence-based. When fed as the primary diet, it pushes nutrients through the gut too fast, leading to chronic under-nutrition despite full stomachs. Meat rabbits fed hay-heavy / pellet-restricted diets routinely take 12ā16 weeks to reach fryer weight. The same genetics on a balanced, pellet-based ration reach fryer size in 8ā10 weeks. That difference isnāt ācorners being cutā ā itās chronic under-nutrition for excessive forage and tractor setups ie ." Feeding naturally " based on internet myths. Loose Hay-forward systems also increase disease risk: ā¢ Higher exposure to coccidia and enteric pathogens ā¢ Greater fecal contamination when hay is fed loose or in litter areas ā¢ Increased GI instability from excess indigestible fiber lignin and NDF. Longer grow-out time = more parasite cycles, more feed waste, more mortality, not healthier rabbits.

There's one guy I follow who doesn't feed pellets (or hay really!) that grows all his food for his rabbits and he grows a giant variety of plants for them. If someone wants to feed them without relying on a bought source, hay definitely isn't the answer. I'd love to grow more feed for my animals, tried fodder and hoping to get a greenhouse but it's definitely not as simple as people want to make it.

@Mary Margaret Conley for sure! He's the kind you have to pay to get all the info but I know he grows most if not all that you said is needed. I also won't say he's perfect but he understands grass hay isn't it. He's the closest I've seen to being natural (without pellets) while not just saying grass hay but all other DIY definitely fall under the scenario you talked about with just hay and veggies.

Just been trying to survive. This constant cold is ridiculous. Having to go outside every few hours to check on babies, water, hay (horses), etc. Had goats due this week too, both had twins and both ended up loosing one each. Even with the constant checking, one has them between my checks and one I couldn't get to respond at all once found and the second time I watched the doe have her babies. The first stood up and was nursing on his own while the second I had to spend 4 hrs warming up before he'd stand. But by the time I checked on the healthier one, he'd went downhill. š¤¦ I'm just so excited to be warming up a bit, above 20 is fine. lol Also lost some rabbit kits, mothers uncovering during the day and not covering them back up by night, babies smashed under each other in the nesting boxes, etc. Cleaning isn't going well either, everything is frozen solid. First warm day will be lots and lots of poop removal.

@Mary Margaret Conley I already need more trays so swapping isn't really possible atm, our path is covered too. I need to try some more teas, one of my next projects to get into.

My rabbitry currently consists of Harlequins, Satins, Rexes, and New Zealands. I am continuing to learn more about rabbits and excited to join skool.
