A Round of Sprouts, On the House
This morning was Sprouts day again.
They do really LOVE their sprouts.
First up, our favorite Mink Hollow Family - Maggie and the kids!

Next, we have 4 young roommates sharing a place.
They are in one of my three-level cages.
This is a picture of the cage before the girls moved in.
It is 4' wide, 2' deep, and 3' high. The wire part is made of dog ex-pen panels. It has a solid bottom which gets a new coat of paint every time it gets new tenants. It has 2 different platforms above the “downstairs”. They can jump onto the lower platform. The upper one has a ramp leading from the first platform and a kind of railing. The ramp is there because I don't want the buns trying to jump from the other platform, and the railing is so no-one accidentally falls off. That said, the railing is made of 1×4 plank and the buns just LOVE to chew it. I've already replaced one of the railings because it got chewed down. Oh well, it's good for their teeth.
These four girls are from 3 different litters.
They are taking some time to grow up.
They were born at the end of December and start of January, so they are now 3 months old.
Two are sisters: Chloe (broken chocolate otter) and Cutie (black). Choir is their mom and Buzz Lightyear is their dad.
The two tris are half-sisters. They have the same dad: Buddy.
The darker one is Dazzle. Cinnabun (aka Cindy) is her mom. Dazzle is a black-orange tri.
The lighter one is Crayola. Her mom is Claire. Crayola is a blue-cream tri.

And now for a change of pace we have some of the other cast members.
The birds love sprouts too.
They heard me coming and came out to see what I had for them.
For a moment there, they were all in a row.
But not for long.
Life's like that.

Last for today, but certainly not least, we have Odin and Freya, who are both Sarplaninac livestock guardian dogs.
They are both purebred.
Odin is Freya's uncle.
THEY are the reason my birds and rabbits stay safe. <3 <3 <3
