Farm Vlog – Rabbit Escape, Kitten Goes Home, and Mosquito Mayhem!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today’s farm vlog is a whirlwind of heat, chaos, and cute animals. Our lynx Rex rabbit, Silverado, decided to break free from his pen late last night—and of course, that meant an early-morning rabbit roundup. Tequila, our amazing livestock guardian dog, helped herd him into the garden shed, and Rowan managed to catch him safely. He’s totally fine—just gave us a bit of a heart attack!

We also said goodbye to Renee, our dilute calico barn kitten and the last from Jake’s litter. She went to her forever home today! We still have four adorable kittens left, but they’re not quite old enough to go home yet.

With no rain in sight and scorching temperatures, we spent most of the day watering the garden just to keep everything alive. And to top it all off? The barn is absolutely swarming with mosquitoes. That’s my next battle.

This is real life on a working hobby farm—animals, gardens, weather, and all the unpredictability in between.
