I am so ready, the past week has been gloriously warm and it really puts one in the mood to do something spring-ish. The indoor seedlings are sprouting, the garden is plotted, the rabbits are kindling. But now the weather forecast has it becoming cold again! So much for digging the garden this week. And the danger to young bunnies goes back up again.
Speaking of rabbits, this is truly turning into a go-around. One of the expectant moms kindled her litter on Valentine's day (yesterday), but there was only 1 viable kit and 1 peanut. It's my first Holland lop litter in years, and at least there was a good kit in the nest. However, with that small triumph came another disappointment. My seal Mini-rex doe, for whatever reason, aborted her 2.5 week litter. She's been re-bred, but still it concerns me as I don't know why she aborted. The other doe that was expecting still has yet to have kindled, though she's played in her nestbox plenty.
