Re-Doing the Rabbitry

We've begun to re-do the rabbitry.  It's not complete, but we're hoping to at least get the one side done this Saturday.  We'll put the roof on...

So this is what it currently looks like out there - I took these pictures yesterday. 

As you can see, it's still decorated for fall, not Christmas. 

And there you can see the new structure we've built.  All that's left is the roof.  

But since we're still working on it, it looks rather messy. 

It looks like a 'construction' zone :)

But it's really awesome, because with this new design, the cages are hung off of hooks using clips.  There will be no more cages sitting on boards which will then rot or collect droppings :)

And this new pee-board is going to be great!! I'm really excited about it! No more tarps which end up leaking, these boards will stay straight, no bending :)  It's going to work out so well!

...and then the old side, which now looks like a hodgepodge.  But in the new year, we'll conquer that side too! :)

                         

For winter, I might be moving the hutches into the garden area...that way they'll be in the sun and the bunnies will stay warmer.  But we'll see, I'm not 100% sure on that yet :)

The black/white Lop pictured closest to the camera is actually my new female, Bonnie :)

It was a little warmer than usual, so I decided to start un-decorating from fall, and decorate for Christmas instead :)

...and this is my new BEW male, Gorman :)  I named him Gorman because it means 'blue eyed one'.  And for those of you who don't know, BEW stands for B-blue E-eyed W-white. 

My bunny bin!

...and all my fall stuff getting put away!

Although I still have a lot out...I need a bigger bin :)

I put up a string of jingle bells and a sparkly thing on the hutches :) 

I got new ribbon for this tree...although I need some for the orange one in the background...maybe change it to a green or red :)

Christmas balls and a hanging reindeer :)

Red Christmas bows on each post :)

It still needs more work, but it's looking better!

And I hung sparkly things on these hutches as well :)

And I was able to hang up a few sparkly ice-skates and stars :)

And an apology for the lighting in these pictures.  By the time I took them, the sun was beginning to set and so my flash was on, making the pictures look rather bad.  So, still a lot of work left to go - but it's looking better all the time! :)
