YAY for getting stuff done today!
Even though the weather was clear, it was a chilly 35 degrees with a nice brisk wind.  ICK! Is it spring time yet?
We got several empty cages scrubbed out and I was finally able to separate two litters.  I've left the juniors together much longer than usual because it's been SO COLD, I wanted the babies to be able to snuggle together for warmth.  It's worked, I haven't lost any rabbits to the cold.
However, all that snuggling has left my juniors with some chewed coats and mats! 
So, while Tim dumped pans, I set to work detangling some junior coats.  Thankfully most weren't too bad, though I made some enemies in the barn today. :(  Ahh well, they'll survive lol.   I try to end grooming sessions with snuggling and a treat- like some hay or a few oats.  Kind of a "I know it wasn't fun, but don't hate me forever" bribe.
I also started taking pictures of my Nationals sales animals and I resexed a set of juniors- what I had thought was a buck and a doe turned out to be two does- THANKFULLY, because I do not need to deal with more bucks right now!  It's easier to choose between two does.
I seem to have lost my tattooer.  BOOOO.  I'm not pleased right now.  I just ordered a touch up pen and hopefully that will work to do some permanent tats until I can either find the MIA tool or purchase a new one.
