Mucoid Enteritis in Rabbit Kits Is Dangerous and Often Fatal

Mucoid enteritis is one of the most dangerous and heartbreaking conditions that can affect young rabbits—especially during the vulnerable weaning stage. In this in-depth video, we’re taking a serious look at what causes mucoid enteritis, the warning signs every rabbit owner needs to know, and what you can do to help prevent this often fatal condition in your rabbit kits.

Whether you're raising meat rabbits, show rabbits, or beloved pets, this episode is packed with essential information for anyone raising animals on a hobby farm. Learn why 5 to 8-week-old kits are most at risk, what symptoms to look for (like jelly-like stools, potbellies, and sloshing sounds), and how a high-fiber diet with plenty of hay can reduce your risk.

Here at Andersen Acres, we believe in education and preparation when it comes to animal health. Don’t wait until it’s too late—understanding mucoid enteritis could save the lives of your rabbits.

Farm Vlog – Candling Chicken Eggs and Waiting on Puppies!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s farm vlog, we enjoy a beautiful spring day under blue skies and fluffy clouds while diving into a few homestead updates. It's not a super busy day on the hobby farm, but it's full of meaning and anticipation. We talk a little about why I make these videos—mostly to preserve the memories of all the amazing animals who have shared their lives with us over the years.

We candle our developing chicken eggs to check on the growth and viability of the embryos, a key part of raising backyard chickens and incubating eggs on a small farm. And all day, we’re keeping a close eye on Tequila, our sweet dog who is almost ready to have her puppies. (Spoiler: not today!)

Whether you're into homesteading, raising animals, or just love watching everyday life on a small farm, this video brings a peaceful look at real life on the homestead.

When the Garden Takes Over—A Hobby Farm Reality Check

Every year, I tell myself the same lie: “I’m just going to plant a few things this season.” A modest garden. Some tomatoes. Maybe squash. Just the essentials.

Then seed catalogs arrive, and suddenly I’m planning for pumpkins, beans, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, cantaloupe, herbs I won’t use, and five different types of lettuce that will all bolt before I touch them.

Welcome to the annual garden explosion—that magical time when your starter trays multiply, your ducks think the mulch is a snack bar, and you find a seedling in your boot.

This week at Andersen Acres, the chaos is in full bloom. The squash are already trying to crawl out of their raised bed, the cantaloupe have declared war on the onions, and the goats keep giving me judgmental side-eye from the pasture like, “You sure about this, human?”

But honestly? I love it. Every wild, weedy, bug-nibbled bit of it.

Because hobby farming isn’t about control. It’s about dancing with nature, even if you trip over a cucumber vine in the process.
