COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Let me get this straight: You gave “what was left” of Dumpling and Casserole to your neighbor? Um, that’s nice of you...

I can't look. [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85]

Well I'm going to be cooking supper for me mom and dad. What do you all think of this
The meet will be BBQ pulled pork because I've already got that Frozen and all I need to do is bake it. Then I'm going to be doing some Skillet fried cinnamon sweet potatoes, candied carrots, and steamed sweet peas.

Sounds yummy!

 

[Bambam1989]

Actually the rabbits I'm getting are also considered a meat variety LOL. Dad does make some good rabbit gravy if my memory serves from my childhood.

What breed are you getting?

 

[CarolM]

Not as in Prince Harry then?

Lol. I was thinking of Harry Potter. But Prince Harry will work even better.

What breed are you getting?

Checkered Giant bunnies.

All caught up, I think.
Daughter and I went “giant-hunting” today. A Danish artist used scrap wood to create what he called the Six Forgotten Giants in different woods on the outskirts of Copenhagen. He provided a rough map, and the idea is that you go hiking and try to find the giants (all of which were later geolocated by other people, thank God!). We saw the first of the six today. Teddy Friendly is so called because one of his arms serves as a bridge across a stream.


We also ran into a psychopathic swan that seemed determined to corner and attack my daughter, until I mirrored its behavior - spread out my “wings” and hissed back. After which the bird paused for a moment, then withdrew back to its lake in as dignified a manner as only a swan can. Perhaps it had a nest somewhere around there, but we hadn’t noticed.

Lol. I'm pretty terrible at names. I have a leopard gecko named Gecko.
I had a palomino horse named yellow too.
My daughter named one of our dogs Cricket. Hubby named the other two-
Zip - after the dog in the movie "last of the dogmen"
Stormy- she looked like a fluffy cloud but always looked grumpy.
The only creative name that I came up with is for Clunker, the idea was our old beat up tractor from Texas that hubby used to call the "Ol' Clunker" it was very reliable and HUGE.

Whahahaha. I think your names are awesome. Nice to know why Clunker is Clunker

O awesome. I don't have experience with those but I did have Flemish giants. In my opinion the larger breeds are much calmer and sweeter natured in comparison to the small breeds. Do you need a link to a good supply website? http://www.klubertanz.com is great if you want stuff that lasts.
Do you have experience with raising rabbits?

Ah. There was a Harry in Harry Potter too!

Not a bit. But my sister does. Though she has had smaller ones.

 

[CarolM]

Your supposed to eat the excess bunnies[emoji16]
I used to own a rabbit farm when I was a Texan! Yep i miss Texas.

Lol Bambam. Are we talking rabbit stew?

 

[Kristoff]

And among my forgotten giants, and Dan’s giant bunnies, and soon-to-be-giant Clunker, it’s time for me to say good night. Not see you tomorrow, roommates!

Bunny dumplings are my favorite. The loins make great fry meat.

You making me hungry. Sounds lovely.

The two of you are terrible. I am surprised Lena hasn't jumped on the bandwagon. And you better hide if Sabine sees this.[emoji33] [emoji15] [emoji33] [emoji15] [emoji33]

You know I have actually eat Turtle before. Common snapping turtle it was interesting. Not something that I plan on eating again but not bad.

O boy! Let me talk your ear off about rabbits!
The larger breeds can be tricky in comparison to the small ones. They are prone to getting soars on the bottoms of their feet. I used a pvc coated wire for the pen bottoms from that website, 1/4" x 1/2" let the poop fall through but was more supportive.
They also need alot more space for breeding. I had a circular 4ft diameter pen just for breeding the giants.
The nest boxes need to be much longer too. If the doe jumps into the box and there isn't enough room she could crush the babies. I made mine twice the length of the rabbit and one rabbit body length wide.

We want to see you spreading your wings and hissing. [emoji23] [emoji23] .

The hike or giant hunting sounds like fun.
