The Craptastic Animal Ranch

Alternately called:

Look out there is a squirrel following you!

Are Graham crackers nutritionally appropriate for ruminants?

Attack of the fluffy bunnies!


Today we visited an “Animal Ranch.” Perhaps the admission fee should have clued us in to have low expectations. When we lived in Texas we often visited Fossil Rim. This is a fabulous place. Herds of exotic sheep roam free, there are zebra and giraffes and all assortment of free range well cared for exciting animals to see and even feed as you wind through the beautiful Texas Hill country.

The ranch we visited today was muddy, run down, sort of sad, completely lacked landscaping, and was just a tad questionable in terms of animal care and housing. On the other hand we had the best time.

This place has tame squirrels! They stalk you, they follow you and it was so COOL! Also there were some very tame deer that we were able to feed and pet. Finally there was a rabbit enclosure that we were able to enter…who knew sweet fluffy bunnies would fight each other over carrot eating dibs. The kids had a blast and we did too.

Do you have peanuts?



Peacocks abound

Maybe just one peanut...
Perhaps you have a peanut.....
I love everything about this photo except that we are feeding this deer a saltine (food that isn't really good for people let alone deer).
Hey you.  Yeah YOU!  I SAID do you have any peanuts!


I'm not leaving till I feed every rabbit in here.
Bunny feeding frenzy
