Rearranged the barn today!

Man oh man, does it look SO much better!
There's more light in there now, and it looks much more organized and professional, plus I have a lot more space for more cages now, which means more bunnies! We also cleaned out a stall we were using for hay storage, and are going to be using that area as well for rabbits. I think we are going to keep all the bucks in there, or the larger breeds. I haven't really decided whose going to go where yet.

I actually have an aisle way in the barn now, it's fantastic! The main barn door isn't blocked anymore so no more needing to use the side door, we can just walk right in and go down the aisle. I also setup my trophy/awards display area as well as the temporary grooming/examination area etc. I really need to get new carpet squares, or just break down and buy a grooming table again. The bucks have destroyed my carpet squares, they look disgusting :(. Overall I'm pretty happy with the setup, we only have about 13 seniors in the barn now, along with 2 juniors but we have plenty of open cage space for upcoming litters or adding new breeding stock.

I had a litter due today out of one of my black does, ML's Doozy, she wasn't showing signs of being broody. She peed in her nestbox and ate all of the hay out of it..I don't think she took but I'm giving her until tomorrow to kindle incase she's just late. That would be 3 missed litters for me in a row! First a Belgian litter, now 2 Mini Rex litters, and things were going so good! Oh well, I'll have to do some re-breedings and hope they take this time around. A few months ago I was getting does bred and babies in my nestboxes no problem. I know it's not the bucks, because they've both sired litters for my friends with their does. Grrr, it's a very aggravating situation!

I'll update more on the barn arrangements and litters tomorrow!
