Baby Bunnys Have Arrived

Congrats to our new Mother Rabbit. She built a wonderful nest out of straw and soft rabbit fur. The babies arrived last night. I do not know how many there are yet. We will not disturb her nest for a week or so. We raise Giant New Zealand rabbits and sell them through The Country Store in Howard Lake.

They make great pets and wonderful fertilizer for the plants. I make “Bunny Poop Tea” in an old bucket. The poop goes in first and then is covered with water. I let it soak for several weeks, stirring occasionally. The plants in the main garden love it. I water with the “tea” every couple of weeks.

I like my bunnies. They are soft and friendly and quiet. Everything else around here makes noise. The turkeys” gobble”, the ro0sters” crow”, the sheep “baaaa” and the dogs” bark”. The Geese “honk”, Ducks “quack”, and the cats “meow”. Quiet is good.
