Farm Vlog - No Rain, Just Smoke, But the Animals Keep Growing!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In this week’s farm vlog, we’re talking about the dry weather and how much we’re wishing for rain. With wildfires raging in our province and the one next door, we could really use a good soaking. Even through the smoke and heat, life on the homestead keeps moving forward!

Our Great Pyrenees, Tequila, is still doing an amazing job caring for her newborn puppies, who are growing strong and healthy. We’ve got baby chicks hatching in the incubator, kittens getting bigger and more adventurous, and three of our young ducks graduated from the brooder to the outdoor pen. It’s a full week of hobby farm animal updates!

If you love homesteading, raising animals, and seeing what real life looks like on a working hobby farm, you’ll enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at our busy days.

Farm Vlog - Wildfire Prep With Livestock, Newborn Puppies, and Hatching Chicks

In this week’s Andersen Acres farm vlog, we’re facing the return of wildfires in our region. While we’re not currently under evacuation orders, many local farms are—and it’s a harsh reminder of just how important it is to be prepared. We’re sharing how we approach emergency planning when you have large farm animals, livestock guardian dogs, poultry, and more to think about.

You’ll also get a heartwarming update on Tequila’s brand-new puppies—just one day old and thriving under her watchful eye. Plus, our incubator is buzzing with life as the first baby chicks start to hatch! Gwen the cat has also made a bold move, relocating her kitten from the shed back under the deck (because cats, of course).

If you love animals, are interested in homesteading, raising livestock, or just enjoy watching the ups and downs of life on a small hobby farm, this vlog is for you.

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.
