A Relaxed Morning


Come on Maggie!





Yesterday, we went for a walk with Callie and Maggie. It was beautiful outside so we took advantage of the slightly-warmer weather (47 degrees to be exact). We let them munch on some leafy greens and leaves on the ground while we sat in our lawn chairs. We learned that Maggie especially likes the front garden bed.



Mmmm Dirt

SAY CHEESE 🐰
 We were a little nervous when taking them out front, but we assured ourselves that we were confident in our bond with our buns and with our knowledge in rabbit ownership. Callie wasn't really into the whole cold ground and dirt process, but she enjoyed muching on leaves in our arms. 








While cutting Callie's nails, she started squirming (she doesn't enjoy us clipping her nails), causing us to accidentally take off  a little too much. However, after we took a look at it and made sure she was ok, we realized it wasn't as bad as it looked.



Bunny Love!!!!

Overall, it was a successful and happy day on the homestead here at Small Meadows Rabbitry.
We look forward to seeing you next time!!!!

Life On Small Meadows (Life Update)

Hey Everyone! I figured since our upload schedule is nonexistent, I would do a little life update for you guys.  So starting out, We have a new rabbit! Ok, let's take a step back real quick and explain. If you have any popcorn, now's the time to get some. So I mentioned a while ago that Callie had a baby girl named Sunny. Well, turns out Sunny was actually a boy. And to make matters worse, Callie was now pregnant. Again. We separated Sunny from Callie and hoped for the best. We weren't sure if she was actually pregnant at the time, so we were shocked when we came home Saturday, October 26th 2019 to Callie having babies. She had three this time, but unfortunately, only one survived. I named that one, a girl, Calcifer. Since Sunny had to move out of Callie's hutch, we had to start making a new hutch. And since our other boys (nicknamed Ricky and Cosmo) can't seem to get along, we had to separate them as well. So we built a triple hutch. It was actually mu

       Hi! Welcome to the Small Meadows Rabbitry Blog. Here, you will see weekly updates about our rabbitry, as well as tips and tricks when it comes to helping you and your rabbit live life to the fullest (and maybe some extra posts here and there).      🐰 Goals We have some goals for the new year that we would like to share with you:          1. We want to make sure you get as much as possible from our blog, so we would like to post at least once per week. 2. One of the main reasons we created a blog, is to educate others about what it means to be a rabbit owner. 3. Not only is it important to us to help you learn about proper care, we want you to enjoy our blog. Let's be honest here, nobody wants to read through a whole blog post, to find that they've just wasted fifteen minutes of their day on something that wasn't even interesting or helpful. While we want to ensure that we're providing you with accurate information, we a

Things You Should Know Before Getting A Rabbit

Image
Hey guys! Today I'm going to be sharing with you six things you need to know before getting a rabbit. When getting a rabbit, it's super important to fully understand the responsibilities that come with it. Diet It's important to give your rabbit a fiber rich diet. Here is a food pyramid I made: Going from bottom to top, let's start with hay. Hay should make up about 80% of your rabbit's diet. It supports digestion, and prevents GI Stasis. For rabbits under 6 months, you should feed them alfalfa hay, and for rabbits 6 months and older, you should give them timothy hay or orchard grass. Greens make up about 15% of their diet. Things such as spinach and wild plantains are great options. Our rabbits love some fresh greens veggies, especially on hot days. Pellets make up 0-5% of the rabbit's diet. I say 0-5 because it is actually possible to go pellet free. there is a book on this subject called "Beyond the Pellet" by Boyd Craven Jr. an
