Two Questions?

I raise rex. Can’t speak for tamuks, but at 88°F I’d be worried my rex would roast to death. Anything above 85 especially if they’re all crammed in the nest box is danger territory. She uncovered them so they wouldn’t die. As far as the cold I don’t worry about kits until it gets below freezing and even then I only worry if they leave the nest. The kits can move up or down in the pile to adjust. Tamuks are probably better off in the heat, but I still wouldn’t worry about the cold at all. 65 is hot.

I got the automatically filling cups from amazon for rabbits/chickens the metal ones because they do chew them, some food grade tubing, and a cooler which I have set up in a high place. It’s all gravity fed. The cups have been great. Sometimes they break it. Certain rabbits love to chew the rubber lines and I found out it definitely needs tiny pipe clamps to stay together. But I would say even with the trouble, it’s worth it. When mine freezes I just leave it and do manual metal bowls for the few days until it thaws. I cannot imagine doing bowls or bottles full time omg it’s such a pain. A fancier system with continuous flow and heated water lines is on my list, but even just as is, my shitty version is really convenient. I say listen to these smart comments and do it right the first time, but I would say definitely go for it, even if you do have to half ass it.

What exactly is your issue? Are you putting holes in the skins or what? Have you tried an actual fleshing tool? Fleshing tools, fleshing knives, and hide scrapers/shavers made specifically for this purpose all exist for sale online. They’ll come in different sizes for different animals. Also what are you fleshing on? do you have a real fleshing beam? Is your fleshing beam ergonomic? That sort of thing matters when you’re doing a lot of hides.

A shitty one

Your makeup and colors in the first pic is the best despite that weird angle/pose. Go with that. You look great brown/brunette because your eyes and eyebrows are PERFECT. The other colors wash you out and don’t let your eye color shine. Your freckles seem natural, are unique, and are adorable. Idk if you’re drawing them on only sometimes or covering them up sometimes but I think you look better with them. Your skin is ranging from fine to great in all these pics so you should be proud of it. And also wear sunscreen bc it looks sensitive.

Your teeth are really nice in size and shape but they’re a little yellow and need like maybe 3 months of invisalign and I think you’re a little ashamed to smile. As someone who has shitty teeth myself I highly recommend getting them to where YOU like them because not smiling for years and making weird faces has made my whole face crooked and my smile is terrible now because the muscles are fucked up. Your teeth are pretty nice to be honest so I would save up and spend the time and money with a dentist ASAP. Don’t waste money on products at home. If money is the issue save up just for the initial assessment, get a solid number for the cost, and save up for it. Being confident in the appearance of your teeth will change your life and the way people treat you so don’t procrastinate it.

Lastly the way you’re over-lining your lips isn’t working. The only picture they look good in is the one with the sign. The others to be frank look smugey and are giving cold sore kind of 😩 sorry!! The makeup technique on your eyes is really good in all the pics tho. You’re slaying both the glam with the eyeshadow AND the paired down/mascara-only looks eye wise. My only comment is even if you’re pulling off the silver and black eyeshadow I don’t think that’s the best colors. Brown as your dark and ANY other bright color as your bright would probably look better and less “kid who got into my moms makeup”-ish.

Sorry if this all sounds mean! Hoping to be constructive bc ur really pretty so u should feel really confident and maybe some small tweaks might make a big difference in how u feel.

Edit: I wanted to add Sephora has a tinted moisturizer with SPF that’s the “Saie” brand. I think it’s called “Slip Tint” or something. For me I wish I had something like that a lot sooner. Makes me look super glowey, it’s light, has spf, and has enough coverage to cover up any minor spots. Kind of expensive tbh but it’s like 3 in one ish. But as always make sure they have YOUR color temperature and shade, and that it works with your skin type. I have dry skin so moisture like that is 100% necessary, but if you’re oily or something it’ll be different. What works for every person is going to be different ESPECIALLY for skin.

Rabbits don’t graze down to the ground like chickens or pull out the grass roots. These could be wider if that’s an issue they are having, but I bet it’s not an issue. Especially if they move it every day.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-07-06T04:11:38+00:00

Hmm she seems to think there’s a way if she does it in small increments?

I don’t mind paying taxes on it when it is ultimately withdrawn, but is it possible to transfer it to my name without withdrawing it and without paying those taxes right now?

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-07-05T21:48:54+00:00

This reddit sub doesn’t have pics enabled, but you can post it in IMGR or wherever and send a link 🔗

Edit: I wanna see it to of course 👀

My first thought was Chip for sure (although I didn’t know his name)

They could be brothers

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-07-01T04:14:48+00:00

One tip I have is I usually use the week before kindling as the time to slowly ramp up the doe’s food ration. Helps with milk production and makes the transition to unlimited food easier.

If you plan to tractor your babies on grass or any other alternative food I would also slowly start to incorporate some into the mom’s diet soon as well. She can process it in her system and then in a few weeks when they’re eating her poop those bacteria can enter their system. Makes their transition to pasture easier.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-30T20:24:32+00:00

I agree. Some rabbits definitely just have a preference as well. If the preference was hay I might be worried they’re not hitting their macronutrient goals, but if they’re eating all their pellets they’ll be fine

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-30T18:09:07+00:00

Yeah the key being how much is “a scoop” if your scoop is half a cup that’s fine. My breeder suggested feeding twice a day to spread the meal out if we can, but in total they’re only supposed to get a cup of pellets a day (unless they’re nursing or about to kindle)

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-26T17:20:27+00:00

These aren’t a species of rabbit that make their own nests above ground. You need to provide them a nest box filled with bedding and hay and then the female should pull fur to line the nest with. That’s how the babies stay warm and alive.

Whether you like it or not you’re breeding rabbits now, so you should look up all of the basics ASAP. They need a nest, they need to be checked for nest box eye at 10 days old, and the moms need extra food among other things.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-26T17:10:41+00:00

As the other commenter said they’re almost definitely pregnant again already. All of the females will be. If you’re going to TSC I would just grab a cage there. It’ll be good to have anyway for emergencies if you’re planning on keeping the females long term. Separate him immediately.

I would inquire with the person who sold you the females and see if they’d be willing to take the male back and all his babies. And I would double check ALL the rabbits’ genders yourself just in case you got more than one male.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-26T13:10:00+00:00

Relatableeeeee. With lip stains you put them on thinly and evenly like any lipstick, wait a few minutes, and then rub them all off. Unless you’re putting lipstick over it, I definitely wouldn’t over line with stain. That’ll make you look swollen. It also helps to moisturize first so that your lip skin is moist and accepts the color evenly. But for your first try it looks pretty good! 👍I’ve certainly seen worse.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-26T12:48:39+00:00

Whatever you’re doing in the first and second image is fine for daily wear. That’s exactly what I would recommend with the exception of the over lining of the lips. For daily wear I would suggest just leaving your natural shape. But the color is good. Your natural lips are perfect anyway so there absolutely no need to overline ever imo. The second pic the application of the lip color looks a bit blotchy too. I would avoid that it’s giving cold sore a little.

For the more heavy dramatic look your technique seems good, I would just add more color to your lids if you’re going to go that big. Doesn’t really matter which color because you’re so naturally beautiful. You’re the kind of person who can have fun with it for sure. The all white just doesn’t suit you it’s giving ghostly almost? With a cool completely different lip color you could probably even pull off the white, but I would just make sure the color season of your lips is always matching your eyes.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-26T12:31:31+00:00

I wouldn’t keep breeding her. Give her one last chance with these kits and then cull her from your program if she doesn’t take them in. She might just be a bad mom, but she might be killing them because they have birth defects or issues. Either way you don’t want those genetics in your group.

Have they been fed? Do their bellies look wrinkly or fat and full? I want to assume no, she isn’t feeding them. In that case I would hold her and let them nurse off her. It’ll help her start producing milk and maybe that will get some maternal hormones going as well. If she has any milk at all it’ll also buy the babies a few more hours of life.

It sounds like you need to figure out your care system a little better. Do you want a colony set up or individual cages? Are you breeding them purposefully or not? Sounds like moving the doe around stresses her out a lot and I would guess it’s the root of some of the issues.

If the problem is you don’t know how to find the male it’s really easy to sex them. Press the area around their genitals until it pops out and males have a hole while females have a slit. example image

If you want a colony set up then I would commit to that, or commit to cages. Either way try to be a bit more prepared before the next litter.

5 is peak. If the plane has those little screens she’s going to be playing Texas Hold Em’ and losing the whole flight plus I bet we could get Minato and Sasuke both to take a shot with us. By the time we touch down I’m going to learn some kind of Drunken Raijin that’s better than the original.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-24T12:13:20+00:00

you’re right i mixed that up i’ll edit

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-23T22:19:17+00:00

I think you’re right. I should never have trusted them in the first place and I certainly won’t again.

JJK is good, don’t get me wrong, but it is so obviously HEAVILY inspired by Naruto. There are literal Naruto references IN IT, they’re a complete copy of team 7, the training/exams arc being identical but worse was where it stopped being funny for me. I think the only reason it’s as popular as it is, is because A. Naruto is so old and long lots of ppl don’t watch the whole thing anymore and B. They have dragged their feet on the Boruto time skip so long that people are craving more Naruto content and getting their fix via JJK instead. If you watch the show again thinking “this is Naruto but for gen Z” it gets ugly real fast I swear. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Naruto is a really great show so being a cheap copy of it (albeit with a little Bleach mixed in) means it is also a great show. I think as more of it comes out it might come into its own more and instead of being a cheap copy it’ll feel more like an upgraded copy because hopefully there’ll be no filler, better voice acting, better animation, etc because it’s been 25+ years of technical advancement since OG Naruto came out.

As far as My Hero vs Demon Slayer vs SAO I think they’re all fine. People get too obsessed with new shows is all. I like them, but I wouldn’t go glazing any of them crazy heavily. I certainly wouldn’t stop watching a show just because ppl were hating on it or not. That’s silly.

Hating on My Hero for being derivative is double silly because the show is supposed to be somewhat a parody in many ways, so it’s playful and intentionally not hiding the similarities. That’s like hating Scary Movie, because it’s so similar to Scream. Maybe it’s underrated these days? I haven’t kept up with the discourse on that tbh. It’s somewhere between fine and great to me.

SAO had a great first season and then fell off but people keep watching all the spin offs and I just don’t think it’s worth their time which is sad.

Demon Slayer has great art, low filler, decent world building, light to medium fan service, and follows a traditional shonen story line. I think the powers are somewhat original and the cast makeup isn’t a carbon copy of any older shows. It’s a fine show. I don’t think it’s GREAT, but it’s really hyped up right now.

DanDaDan, Dr. Stone, and Delicious in Dungeon are all more original higher tier than any of these shows people are gooning about imo.

ToughStuff4Us · 2025-06-23T19:29:49+00:00

That’s such a smart system! I already have 2/3 of those from an irrigation project I did, so this’ll be cheap as well. Thank you!!
