Sometimes I really don't know why I'm still trying so hard with these rabbits. I cannot get Holland babies, no matter what I do it seems. I breed and breed and breed, and they keep missing. Now I know a lot of people are having that exact problem right now. However, I now have five BEW Mini-rex (3 does and 2 bucks) and NONE of them will breed!!! The does won't lift, one of the bucks has no interest at all in does. The other buck I just got is interested, but he was literally shoved off the table by a doe! I just don't know what else to do with those. I want BEW, but I may end up going crazy with them. And to top it off, there's a sick junior in the barn again. No symptoms other than listlessness. I'm doing everything I can, I have GOT to get them all OUT of that barn! I truly think that is the root cause, cause I never have a single problem with any rabbit housed outside, only those that are inside. There's something just not right in there.
I ran into a big problem though with the new rabbitry setup... namely, the fence that I need to take down. It's not old enough for the fence staples to come out easily, and these are the really BIG ones. I'll end up breaking the wire before I can get them out, and I'm trying to save the wire. But I can't move forward until the fence is down, and I can't get the fence down without something to get the staples out of the posts!! So I'm stuck. I can't move the rabbits out of the barn until I have somewhere to put them, I can't build a new place to put them until I get the new rabbitry walls and roof up (for protection), and I can't put those up until I get the fence down! You see where all this is going?! So I feel just totally lost at the moment.
I know I'm not the only person having trouble with rabbits lately, but sometimes it just wears down on me. I can't do everything I want to do... I'm running out of time, and my physical limitations are driving me crazy, plus I have been having terrible heartburn, which just adds more to my stress.
