Rescue

So I have this big idea for the rabbit rescue, my wish would be to have an area that is fenced off, would need the ground to be dug down 2 feet and wired across the bottom so they couldn't dig out, also would need a strong netting roof that would keep eagles hawks owls and other dangers from getting in. I would have a barn of some sort to keep food and cleaning supplies medical box etc. There would be hut's big enough for 4 rabbit's to fit in one that would have either cement or some kind of floor that was slightly slanted for run off and could be easily scooped out to clean, there would be one hut to 4 bunny's. Water would have to be available at all times during the winter there would be a area in the barn that they could access from the run area to come in out of the cold and have food and water, maybe heated area just enough to keep water from freezing.. There would be rocks and large PVC pipes to crawl and play on maybe have a tunnel to hide in, tree's that they could chew on and scratch nails on. would love to have a big sand box for digging but would get soiled way to fast, could fill a large PVC pipe with hay so they would have to burrow into it. Would have a visitor's area so people could come and hold the rabbit's or give treats, this area would have some chairs and a table for paper work and some area's partitioned off for the rabbit's to be set in for viewing for adoption. I would have certain day's for visiting and adoptions maybe a kids day to learn how to care for and what to feed there bunny's. Of course I would live right there on the land also, I would have the property fenced off with a gate to come in so there would be some protection from people just entering anytime they want, and also a area of land that would be used to grow vegetables for the rabbit's. Well that's the start of my idea there is so much more I want to do most of all I would like to have all pet stores that sell rabbit's to make them be fixed before allowing them to be adopted or just not sell rabbit's at all due to the fact that most area's have a rabbit infestation due to people getting rabbit's and letting them run free.

Today was so great

Today I went back to work for Lisa watching her 2 most wonderful kids Jordan and Phaelynne, they are just the best kids, I worked for Lisa a couple years ago but then she took some time off to spend with her kids so I had a long break from being a nanny but I am so happy to be back working I have missed the kids so much and Lisa is the best to work for. Today we didn't do to much because I was to busy talking to Pha all day, she can talk and talk well she is 4 lol, Jordan is at school so I didn't see him till he got home, will be half day on Friday so I will have some time with them both again. Both of them asked loads of questions about the rabbit's, who I had and were is so and so lol I asked Jordan about hockey cause that is his life especially since he is now playing himself. Tomorrow Pha and I are going to go to the park as long as it doesn't rain or snow if it does then we will maybe paint anything to not sit and watch tree house is good to me lmao. Soon I will have a cell phone and a lap top for work omg I won't know what to do with me lol but man it feels good to be back at work......

Feeding Rabbit's What is healthy for them

I have been asked many times what is good to feed or what kind of toy's  they have to how long do they live, though I don't know everything, that is for sure, I thought I would post  what I do and if anyone has questions or want to add something that would be great.  Keep in mind every rabbit has there own preference to food and toy's and sometimes a toy is ignored then when added a few weeks later they love it but I will add what I have learnt so far.

NO GRAINS, LEGUMES OR NUTS! These are not natural foods for rabbits and they can be very dangerous to gut function. 

1 Good source of vitamin A, feed at least one daily 

2 Some bunnies may find this a rather "gassy" veggie. If diarrhea occurs, remove from diet.

3 These veggies are higher in calcium, use sparingly, once or twice a week. For older buns, or those with bladder or kidney problems, avoid, unless otherwise directed by your rabbit vet.

4 High in either oxalate or goitrogens, which can cause or exacerbate sludging, and other calcium/kidney problems. Use sparingly!
