Hello I live in Texas and we already experience extremely hot and humid summers, but with El Niño supposedly going to be the largest in recorded history and possibly make things even hotter this summer. I'm wondering what extra things I can do and prepare for this? I currently have mainly show Californians but one colony raised NZ/TAMUK mix(?).

Edit: how I have my set-up: We do have does and bucks separated. Does are in a wooden framed pen that's divided up and lined with 1"x.5" galvanized wire and the base is about 2' off the ground. They have hay bedding with an open spot big enough for them to lay out completely. Their roof is lined with roofing material.

The bucks are in a large fenced in area with the bottom half completely covered with sheet metal/wood and top half is covered with chicken wire. And have a completely covered metal roof (the area is about 6.5' tall).

They are under a very large tree which shades both pens completely. I do have a split 5/10 gallon bucket/tube type watering system. I just had a litter back on the 8th and was already planning on waiting til at least August (but most likely September) to breed again.

Is it normal for barely week old kits to actively try to get out of their nesting boxes? I place them back in and they immediately turn around and climb out. If I place them in the back they wiggle/hop along the side and once they get back to the front they immediately climb out. This is even after feedings and they're all big and fat. I place them back together and some will still climb over the other kits to get out. These pictures were taken Saturday morning and were born on the 7th.

I haven't seen all this info in one place yet.

So I was busy going through my +400 snowballs and the wonderland road sign is next to my snow sculpting table. While being bored I was reading/translating the sign and realized they misspelled a word. The second to bottom arrow is supposed to say "we're all mad here" but they use the wrong "d" in "mad." Has anyone else noticed any misspellings?

So I picked up this buck and doe on Tuesday. The previous owners kept them outside at the retirement/nursing home, but nursing home wanted them gone since they were tearing up the yard/garden/whatever. They apparently had at least 3 babies (couldn't find one and the other jumped down a drain pipe.... Oops...) and possibly pregnant. I don't need the baby but planning on using it as a kinda first time trial of sorts(?) on how things will go with my future rabbits since I'm just starting out. I did already have 2 does that should be just about to pop and 3 bucks. I know bad numbers we recently lost a doe cause there was a small gap between the does pens that we didn't see and she got through while carrying 7 kits. I also know I have way more bucks than necessary (another long story) and have a plan to thin it down.

TLDR: How old is this kit? And what's its gender? I think it's a doe?

There are little "shines" to indicate how many people have watered your crop/flower. The daisy has 3 shines so 3 people watered it, and the calla lilly only has 2 shines so only 2 people watered it. If there are no shines around the large main star then no one else has watered it yet.
