Washing windbreaks

It was time to wash windbreaks  Today was good so we chose to wash the windbreaks. When the sun finally arrives to warm up a little, then you have to seize the opportunity to get some outdoor work done. It took a few hours to wash them all, but it was definitely worth it. It's difficult to wash the glass from the inside as there's a wire fence in between, so you can't get in with a normal brush, so we use an old bottle cleaner to come in and rub all the dust and dirt off, and we just use normal sulfo for help, however, it's diluted with water so that not too much soap comes in to the rabbits. When this is done, you rinse immediately with some water, where we use a water atomizer, and then the glass are as good as new. The rabbits at least appreciate being able to look out again, so now they can keep an eye on all the dangerous predators that sneak around in the bushes. The windbreaks is made of glass so the bunnies can look through it

Last updated 22.04.2020 COVID-19 (Corona virus) English Covid-19 or better known as Corona Virus is spreading to all corners of the globe. The infection is increasing rapidly from day to day and several countries such as China, Italy, Norway, Sweden, France, Greenland and now also Denmark are closed down. no school or work for the next two weeks and the period is likely to be postponed even further.

Finally spring

Rabbits' behaviour in the spring Now it's finally spring and the sun has started to warm again. It also means that the rabbits get a lot more energy because they are happy and get the necessary vitamin D, which they lack in winter. They can express their joy by making binkies and jumping happily around you. Warmth and sun make most people happy, and doesn't that apply to you too? She-rabbits also start to build nests as soon as they notice the weather's changing. They think they've to have kittens that they need to provide, but since we assume that they're not supposed to have kittens, they will still build nests and feed it so it's warm. They will most likely choose to build it in a cave or other dark hiding place that they can just find. Therefore, make sure the rabbit has a good place it can build her nest, even if it does not have cubs, but that's just what it imagines. This is called false pregnancy . Sometimes you may see the rabbit picking fu...

Signals and body language (part 2)

Part 2 The eyes Closed or partially closed eyes indicate happiness and it may also mean that the rabbit is resting. Wide open eyes that are accompanied by a curious sniff and erect ears mean excitement and that it is interested in what is about to happen. If wide open eyes are accompanied by twitching in the ears and an upright position the rabbit is alert and curious. The ears If the ears stand up vertically in the air the rabbit is alert and try to listen and they can also do so with only one ear and they do this because they would like to listen to the sounds but at the same time they want to rest. If rabbits rest for a longer period of time you will often see their ears lying relaxed along their backs and touching each other thus showing that they are comfortable. The snout If rabbits push easily to the owner it means that they want you to move because they want to pass. They may also do so if they would like to be cuddled and paid attention. They also use it to gree...
