My Rabbitry ~ Mid-Decorating

These past few days we seemed to hit a warm lull.  And during that time I took  advantage of it and decorated my rabbitry for Christmas now instead of when it's freezing outside. 

My pumpkins I had used for some color during the fall I cut up and gave to the chickens. 

 

As you can tell, anytime during the middle of decorating and un-decorating...it's a bit messy. 

 

It looks so ugly without some cloth covering up that stuff.  I'm going to have to get something soon and normally you can find fabric at places like Salvation Army for only a few quarters!

 

Here's all the stuff left to decorate along with all the stuff I'd taken down.  I did all this yesterday, because I knew it was going to snow today.  And guess what!...it's snowing!  HUGE flakes and they're sticking :)

 

But anyway, yesterday we got a bale of hay and I distributed it out to all my bunnies.  I gave them a LOT.  Mostly for extra heat, but if they eat it that's fine too :)  It got everywhere!  I had to do a deep raking afterwards. 

 

 

All the tarps down, and the decorations mainly up, it still looks kind of sad.  However, once you pull back all the tarps and add the beauty of snow, it will look awesome, I have no doubt in my mind!

 

Right now I'm looking out the window at these massive snow flakes.  I'm looking forward to going out later to my rabbitry and seeing everything against the crisp white!   And these past few days, I've  been doing a DEEP clean in all the hutches, so that nothing will freeze and then get a build up. 

 

I also moved the lop males, Bruce and Benjamin.  I switched their places with Abby and Kayla.  Then a few days before that, I had taken Eleanor out of the cage with Abby and put her in an empty hutch, next to the baby lops and Cupcake. 

 

I had done this, because Abby's taken after her mother, Olivia in personality.  And for those of you who remember, Olivia was the most evil rabbit ever!  Anyway, Abby's not that mean, but she's definitely strong-willed and was picking on Eleanor.  So I felt that I should separate them.

 

So now all the bunnies have their own cages that should, and those that get along sharing still do, etc.  I'm very pleased.

 

OH!  I almost forgot, the puppy we kept from the litter we had this past summer...this will be her first experience with snow!  We're all excited to see how she tackles it. :)  It's always fun and I'm sure she'll love it.
