tips for a healthy happy rabbit and more

So since this is a blog about rabbits, I thought I would do a post about how to show a rabbit. Now I show rabbits for 4-H, so if you plan on showing your rabbits in an actual show, this might not give you the best advice. But if you are showing rabbits for 4-H, this should help a lot! Enjoy!

• Work with your rabbit as much as possible. The judges prefer tame rabbits to rabbits hat try to bite and escape.
• Teach your rabbit to enjoy being flipped on its back. Put your middle finger between your rabbit’s ears and hold the ears with your pointer and ring fingers on either side. put your hand on his back and flip him over. Practice this until your rabbit is to the point of not minding when you do this.
•  bring a frozen water bottle if you are showing in the summer. Rabbits can overheat very easily
• don’t over or under feed your rabbit. Your rabbit should way about 2 pounds. Depending on your rabbit, this weight may vary.

So If this post gets 5 likes, I will do a part 2. Hope you enjoy! Show your friends! Thanks, Anna

This morning the post office called. The chicks had arrived! So at 7:24 we left for the post office to pick up our 25 chicks from Hoover’s Hatchery. My mom has exchanged a couple blog posts on her blog, simplifylifelove, for 50 chicks. 25 broilers, and 25 layers. The layers are coming soon! Until then, i’ll keep you posted!

That is me.

We recently learned that our newest cat, Kitty (i know,original, right?) is going to have kittens! We don’t know how many, or when, but i will tell you when we find out! If you have any ideas for names or questions, post them in the comments!

I am buying some chickens for profit. i plan on selling the eggs. The eggs will be all organic fed, free range! the breeds i am going to buy are Rhode Island Reds, and Easter Eggers, or Auracanas. My mom has chickens Raised chickens before, so i think she will help me. she currently has 12 chickens. 6 Auracanas, and 6 Black Austrolorps. 5 hens of each kind, and 1 rooster of each kind. Their names are in order of best behaved: Roosters: Chris P Chicken, Fire, The ladies: Bouncy, Rosy, Lulu Checkers the Chicken, Rocket, 1, 2, 3, A, and B. 1, 2, 3, A, B, and C are the Austrolorps, and all look exactly the same. in fact, one chicken could be 2 one day, and then B the next day. we can’t tell them apart. I am glad to be getting chickens. If you have or will be getting them tell me in the comments! Our dog, Nora the Great Pyrenees, loves the chickens. She is a guard dog. I cant wait to get chickens!

I am considering getting a Lion head rabbit to show for 4-H! They are one of the newest breeds of rabbits. They have been reported to have been produced by breeders trying to breed a long coated dwarf rabbit by crossing a miniature Swiss Fox and a Netherland dwarf. The result? A genetic mutation causing wool around the flanks and head. It looks like a little lion with a very fluffy mane. Hence the name Lion Head. The wool around the head comes from a mane gene. Another breed with with the mane gene is the Angora. They are practically just big balls of fluff with wool everywhere! i am also thinking of getting a lop. I can’t decide! post you r vote in the comments!

We have chickens! tons and tons of chickens! actually, 17 to be exact.  4 of them are roosters.  1 of them is a Black Ostrolorp, 1 is a Easter egg-er, and the other 2 are White Sultans. There names are Fire, Bob, Steve, and Chris P. Chicken. I only named 1 of them. my mom named 1, and my brother named 2.  The White Sultans have top hats and are hilarious! Of coarse, with all the good things about having 4 roosters, here is the bad thing about it: since Chris has the biggest comb, Fire likes to grab it and spin him around in circles by his crest, painful! By the way, 17 chickens was my  mom’s idea, NOT mine! =)

  These are some of the most popular rabbit names.

1. Thumper

2. Oreo

3. Daisy

4.Bunny

5. Bela

6. Charlie

7. Lilly 

8. Lola

9. Oliver

10. Lucy

And those are the top ten rabbit names. Special thanks to bunspace.com, from where this list came from. Remember, these are only a part of the list at bunspace.com.
