Cages.

 .

.

Rabbit cages.  Six of them.  Perhaps two level?  Perhaps some or all.  Why?  For kindling, to give mom and kits more space.  Wire and 2x4, hopefully I have enough.  If not, tomorrow I will have to get more.  Plywood  too?  Yea, but I think I have enough wire caging of two sorts, plywood, and else.  Will find out shortly.  May need a few other bits of hardware, hings, handles, and such.  Always something else.

I borrowed  several pneumatic nailer types, and a stapler.  Hand doing that is easy enough, but takes longer and is a bit more work at the end of the day.  Part of the thing is to make sure the cages fit within, and can pass into, the hutches out there for them.  Thankfully I do have indoor places for them, as long as I can fit the things in.  No doors, actually, on the cages.  I'll just have lift tops.  For now, I can put weights on top, which will keep critters in, and out.  

I slept very hard last night.  Had trouble waking this morning.  I had the alarms set for 08:00, and 10:00.  I don't remember what happened around the eight alarm... a snooze or two? just turned it off? didn't even hear it?  But the ten alarm... I heard it. I snoozed once, twice?  Then turned it off.  One, or both, of the girls were having none of that.  And, if gently, nicely really, brought me about.  I do love my girls, even when they go against my mechanical will.  They... sometimes... know when I need to be awake.  Hmm, maybe I should marry THEM!  :p

I need something to eat, first off.  Food.  I have the last packet of hamburgers.  They have held up well.  Something with them, then a quick shower?  Yea.  Then dishes in, and out to the back, to get started on the hutch.  Oh, ducks out.  I'm running late again.  The girls, muscovy girls, get out anyway.  But the others have to be let out.  They aren't eating as much.  Fully grown, I would guess.  

The whole of them only eat three cups of grain, whereas the three originals would take about two cups.  Then again, they didn't always finish their two cups, if they don't finish their three cups now.  Foraging... lots of it, especially the muscovys.  If I think they have taught the indian runners to forage a great deal more?  I... really think so.  Winter will change that.  Nothing to forage.

I'll... get to it.  Food, and setting on fresh tea.  If a fatted coffee, hopefully, first.  And maybe an extra one with breakfast.  If I can get it down.  Fatted drinks are heavy... filling... in the oddest way.  Can still eat, but not more fat?  Limits, though of fluid, fat, or a bit of both?  Later.
