Composters

 Introducing Master Horatio...

...and Miss Amelia.









Our new composters! Sure is a lot faster to compost this way than to wait for a pile of veggie waste to compost. We can put their waste right into the garden (most other animal fertilizer is too hot and has to be composted first). We can use their waste to feed the tilapia when we get around to raising them. We could also have a worm bin right under their condo to feed worms which in turn could feed our tilapia. Yes, many reasons to keep rabbits. But the real reason? They're just so very cute. :) They don't do well in temperatures over 85, so when it gets that hot outside, we'll move them in to live with us. The kids don't mind, of course. The rabbits shared the same condo for the first time today (neutered male and spayed female), and they got along great. They even snuggled! They also ran around with the chickens for most of the afternoon, and the chickens seemed to think it was quite amusing, but not nearly as amusing as their evening snacks of pasta and cockroaches. Apparently, cockroaches are a premium treat and there is a lot of fighting over who gets to eat them.
