Today we decided that the rabbitry needed a major cleaning. We drug out all of the cages (38 of them) so that they could be torched and pressure washed. Since we wormed all the rabbits about a week or so ago--and that threw them all into a major molt, we had woolie fur everywhere! I swept the floors and cobwebs. Once that task was completed, all the feed dishes were washed. Then, everything had to be brought back into the barn. Fresh shavings were put in the trays and rabbits were groomed. It took us about 5 hours to do everything---it was in the middle of the day and boy, was it ever HOT. I thought I was going to die of heat stoke and the poor bunnies were doing without the A/C since we had the door open. They did get to enjoy being in the xpen (in the shade) while we cleaned and rearranged the cages. I am very happy that we was able to get so much accomplished today. The rabbitry looks and smells great! Tomorrow will be house cleaning day since we were so tired from today's events---oh joy, I'm so looking forward to cleaning again (yeah right).
In other news, McKie's Lilly gave birth to 3 kits today. She is a broken chestnut and was bred to Rickie who is a REW....all 3 kits are chestnuts. Still waiting on several more does to kindle between tonight and the 2nd of July.
Hope all is well and you are in our thoughts and prayers!
