We are entering into a new world of rabbit husbandry. Over the
last few months we have built our first hutch that will hold our breeders and
have obtained most of the wood for the kindling cages. We have also purchased
three rabbits, two does and one male and were given another rabbit we thought
to be a female but turned out to be male. As we could not keep an extra male we
were given a chance to practice butchering and cooking rabbit. I must say it
turned out wonderful. About a week after we brought our does home we were
visited by a little black doe that we think was a pet but had been
lost/released into the area. We checked the local missing pet boards but in the
end we kept her. She walked right into a cage (after a little coaching) and is
living very happily next to our two sisters, Stormy and Misty. We named our new
friend Blackthorn.
We’ve put together a video about building the hutch and have
actually started an Instagram picture blog for our bunnies and other critters. Check
us out at chickiebunny on Instagram.
