Great video. Kept rabbits for years. We lost one to a fox so be careful, they’ll know they’re there. We moved the rabbit hutch indoors in the winter months. We put a cover over the hutch to stop the rain getting in when it was outdoors.
@@haasfamfarm Being eccentric is probably why you've settled into the UK & our way of life, as we're all as mad as a box of frogs here!!😂🤣 #HonouraryBrit
Hiya, thanks for your fun videos. With your rabbit pen just sitting on the ground you may have trouble with a fox digging a scrape hole so they can slide underneath the edge of the pen to get to the rabbits ? If you put a layer of chicken wire or similar stapled to the frame so the pen is a complete box made of wire. Hopefully fox won't get into the rabbits. I'm only saying that as I lost a couple of rabbits in my garden and I live in a city not out in the countryside where the foxes are hungrier, good luck Cheers Chris
Hi Haas Family. Nice 'cage' you built, except her we'd call that a 'run'. I hope you put them in a secure hutch. As you're living in the country or even in a city they'll be predated by foxes if they find them.
Hi Sandra, we have 2 runs and a hutch. I'm amazed because you are so right -- 2 days into them being here we ran into a prowling fox. Our pups chased him off but it is clear they can pick up the scent. Thanks for your comment
Amazing vlog there as always guys 👍 you should check out another American expats who living in uk also who also live on a farm Chris and Jess their YT daydreamers barn they vlog every Sunday n Thursday 👍anyway I look forward to your next future vlogs as always :) many thanks for sharing your amazing vlog 👍
Wright's do a Cheddar and Sun Dried Tomatoe bread mix that is out of this world. Definitely worth a bash. Also, just wondering how long it'll be before only the adults are cleaning out and feeding the bunnies? With our 2, it was less than a month :-)
Bread looks awesome. Be interesting to know how you guys are getting on US/UK food-wise - we don't sugar bread! Please be careful round horses - they make me nervous :S
Hi, you might be able to clear something up for me. When animals are in the USA animal sanctuary farms they lose their ear tags. But here in the UK, they keep them in. Is this because of the food chain tracking or does the USA have no rules for sanctuaries. We in this country do have a reputation for being "foot and mouth" disease-free and keeping a close eye on TB etc.
Here in the UK during World War II, and indeed in the 1930s Great Depression that preceded it and the Austerity Years that followed, keeping rabbits was a popular thing to do. And not as pets!!! They were a good source of cheap, unrationed (1940 onwards) protein back then. During the war and afterwards meat was in very short supply. In fact meat was rationed up until July 1954, nine years after the end of the war in Europe. We had spent our nation's accumulated wealth of a century fighting that one and we were also very heavily in debt to other nations because of it , mainly yours. As a kid in the 1960s I was brought up in the East Yorkshire countryside. Rabbit, especially Rabbit Pie, was an occasional meal when the local Farmers had been out keeping their population down but I wouldn't say that it was a regular thing. Being very young I just ate it and I have to say that there is nothing wrong with it. Quite tasty in fact.🙂
We would definitely eat rabbit, nothing against that! In this case though the girls are just keeping them as pets. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Jordan
This is really interesting to me. My dad says rabbits breed really easy so I could see how they could be good and east to farm in that regard. Knowing that all other comments suggest that rabbit meat is really tasty, I wonder why it fell out of favor? I think it may be mostly because people don't harvest their own meat anymore (generally speaking). I really fancy the idea of my family sourcing our own foods when possible. -Jordan
Hiya. Btw, you do know rabbits have a near 360 deg field of vision? They can see behind them at the same time they can see forwards. That's why they're hard to sneak up on. OK, playing Devil's Advocate here, are the Hutch and Run big enough for the two rabbits? Have you checked? 3m x 2m x 1m is the minimum, I believe. Rabbits need room. Also, how deep into the ground does the Rabbit Run go? It should be dig proof from both the inside and outside, so the rabbits find it hard to dig out and predators to dig in. Right, enough of my over-thinking. Sorry. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Ok, this is just my opinion... you seem to have a lovely family and that you're adapting well to a new culture. But for me, showing your children on social media is a big NO. However, perhaps I'm being alarmist and not aware that this has now been normalised? (Nobody else has commented on it). Coincidentally there is another similar YT video that has an American wife & Scottish husband ("Simple Scottish Living" ) who pixelate their children's faces if one should look into the camera but that doesn't come up very often. Anyway, I do enjoy your videos. Best wishes.
They make a Lovely Stew in Winter.
I'm pleased you have two rabbits, they are social animals and don't like being on their own.👍
Great fun video, the girls are so................sensible I suppose, must be great fun for other kids to be around them, lovely family
@@bonvoyage5377 thank you! They are lovely! Where are you in the UK?

As always, a lovely video showing a happy family life.

Living your best lives...so jealous, I'd of loved all that land and animals as a kid...what a lovely experience ❤❤
You are a really lovely family. Enjoy UK 🙂
Thank you! 😃 that is so kind! Are you in the UK?
@@haasfamfarm Yep, down in Essex
Not keen on Rabbit myself but my brother likes the taste of it and so did my parents .
What a brilliant, fun video🤣🤣🤣
Ah just seen the Rabbit hutch arriving that should do the trick :) Cheers Chris
It does! We officially have a rabbit hotel 😂

You have an idyllic life in an idyllic setting, hope you stay with us.
Thank you!!
Great fun video. You are living in a beautiful area.👍
Yummy, Rabbit stew is a fine meal... :)
These rabbits lucked out! No stew for them! ❤️ where are you in the UK?
@@haasfamfarm I am originally from London but now live in Germany. I am enjoying your vlogs - keep them coming although I prefer the longer ones.
Will you be shearing sheep next LOL. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
Excellent question! I’m thinking yes 🥰
It would be a fun video / experience -Jordan
Make sure the rabbits are secure because the foxes will be around.😀
We literally woke up to a fox prowling this morning! I'm a bit concerned about it -Jordan
It would be good to see how Christmas compares here to the US?
Excellent idea! Jotting this down! Definitely expect a video on this! ❤️
Another couple of names for future sheep : 'Baabara' and 'Baabara-Ann' (after the Beach Boys song)
We are thinking Gordon Ramsey for a male
