Sexing Rabbits

18/11/2013

How hard can it be to sex a rabbit, it should be simple, take a baby bunny turn it upside down, see if it has boy bits or girl bits, next.... But for some reason we are terrible at sexing. Recently we sold a trio of meat rabbits, so it was pretty important for the buyer that we got it right. Go out to the shed look at rabbit bottoms, no idea. Go into the house watch Youtube video on rabbit sexing. Can't be that hard, back to the shed. "Is that a slit or a round bit? Back to house, Google rabbit sexing tutorial, study hard, examine pictures, check out the pyramid shaped bits the conical bits, check out the bit to press not too hard. Finally we got it and off went two does and a buck. Full refund if we still messed it up.

Still Learning

We erected a new shed in May , with the help of Eileen's brother, and I have been busy ever since creating a flat for Laura inside half of it.
It started by building a frame inside using treated pine 90mmX 45mm. Fixing it to the concrete slab with dynabolts, then rafters over the top.
Stress started with gyprocking the walls, having no idea, watched a Youtube video, everything for the DIY enthusiast is on Youtube.
Though couldn't find one for a DIY vasectomy! ( My former doctor did his own using a mirror).
We lined the ceiling with limed pine boards, and in the process found the joys of the nailgun( Unfortunately Eileen has also discovered this, and everything that wasn't nailed down, is now!) 
Still windows to install, flooring, etc
