  • Finally Camille is having her first litter of purebred Creme d'Argent rabbits! I can't wait to watch them grow! I've had so many things going on around here, so let's just do a recap on this video:
    - I've begun winterizing the rabbit hutch but I still have the front left to do.
    - I'm now a brand rep for All Things Bunnies!
    - I plan on vlogging my experience at Danville, IN (Halloween rabbit show) so I can show you guys how you can go to a rabbit show.
    - Info about my rabbit tractors!
    - An update on the chickens laying eggs
    - NITRO ❤️

    Loved the line..."it's okay to think your meat is cute."
    Keep inspiring and congrats on your showing.

      Thank you so much!! 😊 Yes, to me there has to be a connection knowing your meat was once a live animal. The happier they are, the better ❤️

    Purple and teal are significant to me; they’re the colors in the suicide prevention and awareness ribbon (my kids and I are suicide loss survivors). I love your bunny setup!

      That is so powerful, and I had no idea. Thank you for letting me know and for sharing! ❤️ teal is my favorite color and can mean “infinity.” When I lost my heart dog Stone, I attributed teal to him, because he will always be in my heart ❤️

    You talk to your buns as I do. I am constantly telling my girls they are good girls after having their kits. My friend, so many are after the 10, 11 and 12 kit litters. In my experience, there is always 1 or 2 that don't make it. Their average weights are down. I like the idea of adding that lip to the nest boxes. I just built 2 more the other day. I may have to try that on my next ones. Would try it on the new ones, but have 2 does due tomorrow. Congrats on all the offers you are getting. I am so glad I found your channel and see what you do in that area of the country. Will take a while to get all caught up on your channel as I do try to support others.
    Many blessings.

    • @TealStoneHomestead
      @TealStoneHomestead  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you so much! ☺️ I do like the lip on the next box. We had a tough time with our first Creme litter with only a 50% survival rate, but I am confident things will get better from here on out. I would rather have a smaller litter with no casualties! Like you said, the bigger litters tend to have smaller average weights. I’m glad you’ve found my channel! 😊

    • @TealStoneHomestead
      @TealStoneHomestead  Před 3 lety

      Thank you so much! 😊 rabbit tractors are one of those things that some breeders might disagree with, but I’m careful about them. I personally believe that rabbits need to build up immunity to certain things. Many times I go with my gut on housing options. This system seems to be working well for the current season 😊

    I’m raising up my first littler of meat rabbits right now and I agree it’s ok to think your meat s cute. I’m definitely getting some interesting reactions from family who think it’s weird and from people on Instagram that seem to be obsessed with seeking out meat rabbit posts and attempting to shame by commenting bunnies aren’t food. Ugh, yes they are food, everything eats rabbits.

    I line the base of my nest boxes with hay. If a baby falls out the mom has built a nest around them and they survive until I notice and put them back in the box. Try it!

    So many good updates in this video! Congrats on becoming a brand ambassador and on your new litter. Looking forward to the November video about how to get into showing rabbits!
    I'd love to see a video down the road about how you process your meat rabbits. Everyone does it a little bit differently, but the premise is the same. We believe that the animals should have a great life and just one bad day. Not sure if the term "ethical omnivore" will catch on, but that's what our family aspires to. Eating meat, dairy and produce that we raise & grow ourselves. What we can't do, we purchase from local people.

      Thank you! Yes I breed my rabbits for meat & show purposes. They provide meat for my family. I know it can be difficult for some to understand... I know they are all cute. But I would much rather ethically raise happy rabbits for meat than blindly buy meat from the grocery store... you never know what conditions those animals were raised in, and one of my main goals in raising rabbits is to do my part in ending factory farming.
