Must Have Bread Machine
This bread machine has been absolutely amazing & it makes so much more than just bread!
Food Dehydrator
Great dehydrator for fruit, jerky, veggies, & more.
Vacuum Sealer
This vacuum sealer has done so much better than the Food Saver brand. Highly recommend!
Stand Mixer
This is one item that I won’t hesitate to recommend you splurge on!
Small Bite Horse Treats
Perfect size for mini horses to reduce the risk of choke
Mini Halters, Leads, & More
This online tack store has the best prices for all things mini horse!
Goat/Lamb Nipples
Much cheaper here than in the farm store & you’ll need more than just a couple to get through bottle feeding.
Goat/Lamb Bottle
Again, cheaper here than in the farm store & good if you don’t want to save bottles to use with the nipples.
Young Rabbit Food
Great food for a single rabbit up to 6 months of age. If you’re going to have multiples, I recommend purchasing a large bag of either Purina or Nutrena rabbit pellets from a farm or feed store such as Tractor Supply.
Adult Rabbit Food
Great food for a single rabbit over 6 months of age. If you’re going to have multiples, I recommend purchasing a large bag of either Purina or Nutrena rabbit pellets from a farm or feed store such as Tractor Supply.
This is good to have on hand just in case your rabbit gets an upset tummy. I use this anytime someone stops eating well to help reset their gut bacteria.
Rabbit Probiotic
32oz Water Bottle
Perfect size for 1-2 rabbits for a day’s supply of water. We prefer bottles so they don’t play in their water.
Food & Water Bowls
If you prefer bowls, these are great because they attach to the side of the cage, preventing your rabbit from flipping the bowl, which they love to do.
Rabbit Hay Feeder
We prefer these vs the cute fabric hay bags. Rabbits will eat the fabric bag, potentially causing a life threatening bowel obstruction.
Rabbit Litter Box
Always use a high back litter pan for rabbits – they back up to urinate & will pee outside the cage with a normal litter box.
Rabbit Cage
This is a good option for indoor rabbits, giving them plenty of space.
Rabbit Cage
Another good option for an indoor rabbit, though quite a bit bigger than the one above.
Rabbit Playpen
Great for giving your rabbit more space to run around when free roaming indoors just isn’t an option.
Litter for Rabbits
This is an excellent litter for rabbits, absorbing urine quickly & not too messy if they are hopping in & out of a letterbox with no wire floor.
Rabbit Bedding
This is good bedding if you have a rabbit cage with a deep, solid bottom. Don’t use this in the litter box though, stick to litter there.
Timothy Hay
Great hay but not super cost effective when packaged for small animals. Consider the next option for savings.
BULK Timothy Hay
A much more cost effective way to purchase hay for your rabbit but you’ll need a tote to store it!
Enrichment Toy for Rabbits
Rabbits love to chew on things & investigate new items, this one keeps them entertained.
Assorted Rabbit Chews/Toys
Rabbits also love to toss things around & this assortment provides plenty of options for that.
Treats for Rabbits
They love these treats. It’s hay, grasses, & flowers so it’s a healthy option in a form that encourages play too.
Our Favorite Shavings
These shavings can be dusty but they’re cheap & absorbent. We use them in stalls for the big livestock, in brooders for chicks, & in pens for rabbits when needed.
High Velocity Industrial Fan
This fan moves air! It also oscillates so it works perfectly in our large barn. We’ve got 2 in a 36×48′ barn & we’ve got air movement throughout.
Heated Water Bowl
Perfect for a small flock of chickens, our barn cats, & we use it for the foxes & quail.
Plastic & Metal Safe Stock Tank Heater
This one works in both metal & plastic stock tanks and it sinks, making it a favorite around here because the animals are less likely to pull it out of the tank!
Maticoopx Incubator
I thought my Nurture Right was the best incubator I’d ever had – turns out I was wrong, at least for quail! This one so far has out performed the Nurture Right with quail eggs.
Nurture Right 360 Incubator
This has been a great incubator for us for chicken eggs, often providing an 85-95% hatch rate. For whatever reason it’s not great for quail eggs, the Maticoopx has much better quail hatch rates.
Chicken Feeder Ports
These ports are great – food waste is zero with adult chickens, ducks, & turkeys when using these in a storage tote!
Chick & Quail Feeder Ports
For quail, these are FABULOUS. Those tiny birds waste twice as much as they eat if they can get their feet to the feed. These ports are tiny & work great on cat litter tubs or totes & food waste is non existent with them!
Raised Beds
I’m on year 4 with these beds & have zero issues or regrets buying them. They’re very affordable & they look nice.
Garden stakes
We use these stakes to grow our squash & zucchini vertically, making pest control much easier. They’re also good for tomatoes or other vining plants.
Garden Tie Tape
This is the tape we tie up our squash & zucchini plants with as they grow up their stakes. It’s super cheap & works great!
Wireless Trailer Camera
I bought this for my horse trailer so I can see my horses as we travel. It connects wirelessly to your phone & you watch via an app. So far it works great!
