New Years Eve

Well...needless to say, this is going to be the last post - of 2015 :)  Tomorrow will start off the new year!!

Today, with the help of a few siblings and my mom, we cleaned up the rabbitry, moved hutches around, picked up some trash, and finally finished up the new rabbit structure before winter hits :)


Here are our chickens...


Yesterday, I put down a bunch of straw into their outside run.  It's been raining a lot lately, so their area was really muddy.  


So I stuck a bunch of straw down so they wouldn't have to walk in mud.  I also stuck a bunch of the straw inside the actual coop.  Now they're fully ready for any type of winter weather!


So as you can see, the hutches have been moved :)


And this red/white sign was a Christmas gift from my brother.  I think it's really cute!



Hopefully with the hutches in this new location, they'll heat up by the sun and so the bunnies will stay a little warmer :)


It really made the area by the chicken coop look much more open.  I used my wheelbarrow and cleaned up all the bunny droppings that had been underneath the hutch. 


And I moved a few bunnies around, so now there are none underneath the hutches :)



There are also no more cages on the side, next to the bench/table :) 


It looks much more open :)


And the tarps are currently down, giving a bit of a wind break for all the bunnies :)


But here's the new, finished structure.  All that's left is to paint it!


As you can see, I put a few cages on the side where the one hutch had been.


Of course, that was after I cleaned up all the bunny droppings, so it looks really great :)


And yes, the roof is finally on! :D


And here's another sign I got for Christmas :)



Using the tool kit I got for Christmas, I cut out and nailed up tarps to go around the whole new structure, giving the bunnies in the hanging cages full coverage from wind :)


...and now...for something I'm really excited to tell you about!


This is Piccolo's replacement! :)


...and not only that, but...


I got this little guy's sister too!


So one 6 week old boy, one 6 week old girl :)


They're so adorable!!! I haven't named them yet, but I think they're so cute.  They're both Mini Lion Heads, like Piccolo was.  :)



And Rhett Jr. 


With all the cages/bunnies getting moved around, I put him into a larger cage. 


He's pure Flemish, so he's going to be HUGE once full grown :)


Plus, he's one of my most active bunnies! So I wanted to make sure he had plenty of space to stretch his legs and run around :)



He's so cute :)


Happy New Years everyone!! I hope you all have a great year, this 2016! :)
