Spring Barn Cleaning

There isn't any shows during this "shelter-in-place" period of time, but these Angoras are all in carriers.   Why?

If you ask for their preference, they would say they prefer their regular condos.   Their condos had just been thoroughly flamed and power washed in November, the scheduled big cleaning is not until late summer early fall.   "Shelter-in-place" gives a lot of time at home, so daddy Albert and mama Betty decide to move the buns out for a spring cleaning.

  

While adults need an individual carrier as temporary housing, the youngsters can share their previous indoor nursery.

Rabbit condos to be flamed and power-washed, veggie garden has just been planted behind the big stackers, and on the right are the winter crop of fava beans.    The persimmon tree on the very right has nice tender new leaves.   It's a beautiful spring day.

Some more stackers in the barn waiting to be flamed and power-washed.    The top right is the swamp cooler that keeps the buns cool and safe during the summer.    The rabbit stained glass to the left of the swamp cooler is the Best In Show prize for Chu's Erica, won in December 1985, it's the first major Best In Show win for the Chu's English Angora.

These feeders are all hand washed and each and every hole is cleaned by a skewer stick.

After two full days of staying in the garage, rabbits are back to their thoroughly clean condos.  Buns are happy, mama Betty is happy.
