Hello!
I am very interested in everyone's time-saving bunny chore ideas. I'm about to start student teaching for the year (10th grade English!), and I know my life will soonbecome quite hectic. I thought this would be a great place tous to share our tips, tricks, and procedures that saveus time caring for our favorite bunnies!
I will begin with some of mine.Background info: I have 6 rabbits (5 of them are in my bedroom).
-I keep a trash container in my room full of hay (around 13 gallons, I believe). It usually lasts my bunnies a week. It has saved me a lot of time because before this I used to bring in hay from my garage using grocery bags almost every day.
-I make schedules. Every month I create a calendar using Microsoft Publisher (so easy!) so that I can make sure I remember to do everything bunny related. I mark when to clip nails and clean scent glands (I do this once a month), when to give Tigger his butt bath (once a week), and when to give medications (every day).
-On the previous note, I also keep a notebook with all of my rabbits' medical records. This saves me time when I have to go to the vet, etc. I always document when a bunny has gas or other medical issues as well as when I clip nails, their weights, ages, and so on.
I'm sure I'll think of more things to post, but I'd love to hear from all of you!
Thanks,
Kathy
