- Even though my rabbits are primarily meat & show animals, I try to give them the best life possible. This includes lots of hay, fresh greens, and enrichment. Rabbits LOVE to chew, and dried pinecones are perfect for satisfying a rabbit’s need to chew, shred, and throw objects around. In this post I’ll be showing you how to prepare pinecones for rabbits and how I made mobile toys for all of mine this Christmas.

I could watch the ending scene for hours with the peaceful holiday music ❤️
I’ll try to do it again this year! 😊

They are quite happy 😊
I live in ukraine. I like watch yuor video. You very bountiful girl!!! Happy New year and Mary Christmas 🎄🎄🎄⛄⛄⛄
Where I live, I'm surrounded by pine trees, like literally, they're everywhere. Same with birch. I never knew you could use those as toys! Thanks!
awww... the bunnies look so cozy!
They were quite pleased! 😊
Merry Christmas
I love Cassias name! ❤️ Your pinecone toy Mobil’s are so cute. I thought it was really cool the way they opened up after you baked them. The rabbit hutch look so pretty with the garland. You have the happiest bunnies ever!!
I love your vlog style videos!!!
Merry Christmas!!!🎁🎄
Thank you! ❤️🎄
Merry Christmas!
"Merry Christmas with lots of love" "I hope your Christmas is filled with joy and happiness!"
Merry Christmas to you! Hope it was great! 🎄😊
I love watching your videos. We are about to start a channel of our own as well. Can’t wait to share our lil farm with you, we have silver foxes, Boer goats and Siberian Huskies.
Thank you so much! Wow, sounds like a great homestead. Someday I’ll have goats! 😊
Merry Christmas to you and your family and may god bless you and your family I plan on doing it for my rabbits to thanks
Thank you so much! 🎄 God bless. Hope your rabbits love it 😊
hello, it was calming to watch you do this. I'm not a great crafter but loved watching. Cassia is so beautiful
This was such a cute video! Love it and an excellent idea for enrichment for the buns! Have a wonderful holiday and we will see you in 2021!
Thank you!! ❤️ you too 😊
This reminds me of when I soaked pinecones in chemicals for my wedding to try to get colorful fire. Lol
I remember that!! 😂
Loved this idea and watching you make them! The kids are going to be making them for our bunnies today. I'm new to your channel but I'm binge watching everything now, lol. Just wonderful, thank you! We found you thru your hutch build video. We are new to raising rabbits so I'm trying to absorb everything. Your love and care for your animals shines thru and it's so beautiful.
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me. I definitely try to care for them as much as I can! I hope your kids have fun making the pinecone toys! 😊
It looks soo good!! I'm going to have to try the pine cone mobile for my rabbits! Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you!! ☺️🎄
I love the pinecones! Such a cool idea. Our property is loaded with them.
If the pinecones are already open (I live in Florida) should we still bake them? Is it to disinfect or to open the cones?
I would at least wash them in vinegar to remove and kill any pests. You don’t necessarily have to bake them unless they are extra sappy. Sap isn’t toxic to rabbits, but you just don’t want it to get in their fur 😊 baking them makes the pinecones crispy and hardens the sap once they cool. Hopefully that helps!
Those Creme D'Argents are beautiful 😍, are u planning on getting "new homes" for them or we'll they also be for the meat project?
They are! ❤️ Some of them that I think will make good breeders or show animals will be sold, but after evaluating some will be for meat. And of course Cassia gets to stay here as a breeder/show rabbit 😊
We have recently started keeping rabbits and our buck has E.Cuniculi, his git about a week left of his treatment but his symptoms haven't improved. I've been reading that some rabbits dont recover from the damage (head twitch and un-balanced). Would we need to cull him or is there anything else we can do? Any advise you have would be amazing. Thank you x
Hi Jody, I personally don’t have experience with E. Cuniculi, but I do know that you can use goat-safe ferbendazole for 28 days for treatment (which you may already be doing). If he still hasn’t improved I might put several drops of ivermectin pour-on (blue liquid) within each ear in case it’s a case of a parasite or mites within the ear canal. Make sure to take care of him last and wash your hands thoroughly, as e. Cuniculi can be zoonotic. I really hope this helps! Would love to hear if he improves ❤️
@@TealStoneHomesteadHis having the fenbendazole treatment in the last week now. I will definitely give the ear mite treatment a go. Thank you so much x
what is the purple plastic grid in the center of the hutch for? (Min 7:51)
They are resting mats! I place them close to the food bowls they they can be more comfortable as they eat.
How many rabbits do you have in total..
Currently I have 11 adults, and MANY babies! 😊 our total count usually fluctuates around 40 😊
question why can't they just have them straight off the tree or ground ?
they will dig their way out, or predators will dig their way in.
Odd question, but did you eat Coal and Thorn, they were your first silver foxes so I thought they would stick around for a bit longer then they did. No hate or anything, I'm just curious.
No, I actually sold both of them to wonderful people just starting out with Silver Fox! It was the hardest decision to let Thorn go, but he sired over 50 babies while he lived here. I just didn’t have any more use for him in the near future. But I hear he’s had a couple of girlfriends since leaving us 😊 Coal as well! Coal always had limited use here since he was Hollyhock’s half brother.
@@TealStoneHomestead Oh okay, that amazing. Glad they're still alive.
Where do you post your rabbits for sale? I'm looking for a silver Fox and i can't find it 😩
Sometimes I post on Facebook!
