🤦🏼‍♀️ Better Late Than Never… Right?! 😂🐣🐰

Listen… life at Brigman Barn is a little chaotic (okay, A LOT chaotic 🤣), and apparently I’m running about TWO MONTHS behind on sharing all the cuteness with y’all! 🤷🏼‍♀️💜

But these pictures were WAY too adorable to stay hidden in my camera roll! 📸

🌿 Fettuccine & Penne, our rhea babies, were living their BEST lives outside! These two discovered the joy of ZOOMIES, and let me tell you… watching baby rheas run around like tiny, feathered dinosaurs with absolutely NO speed limit is pure entertainment! 🦖💨😂

🐰☀️ Meanwhile, our sweet little bunnies had a completely different agenda… soaking up the sunshine, enjoying the fresh air, and perfecting the art of doing absolutely NOTHING. 😂💕

Same beautiful day. Two VERY different energy levels!

⚡ Team Rhea: RUN FAST! ZOOM EVERYWHERE! CHAOS!!!

😎 Team Bunny: Sunshine. Snacks. Relaxation. Repeat.

🤣 NOW WE NEED TO KNOW… WHICH ONE ARE YOU?!

🦖 TEAM RHEA — Always on the go, full of energy, and a little chaotic!

🐰 TEAM BUNNY — Just here for the sunshine, snacks, and peaceful vibes!

👇 DROP YOUR TEAM IN THE COMMENTS! 👇

And stay tuned… because my camera roll is FULL of Brigman Barn adventures that I haven’t shared yet! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

😂💨 FERRET MAYHEM: ACTIVATED! 💨😂

The second Salami, Bologna, and Pastrami come out of their enclosure, it’s like someone hit the turbo button! 🤣💨

These three have ONE mission in life: RUN, EXPLORE, INVESTIGATE EVERYTHING, and cause as much chaos as physically possible in those tiny little bodies! 🐾💥

There is no walking when you’re a ferret… only the zoomies. There is no casually exploring… only a full-blown search and rescue mission into every corner, under every blanket, and behind anything they can possibly squeeze themselves into. 😂

And the funniest part? They act like they’ve never seen the world before EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Life with ferrets is basically trying to keep up with three furry little noodles who have absolutely ZERO business plans but somehow run the entire household. 💕🐾

Would we trade the chaos? NOT A CHANCE! 🥹❤️

Tell me… do you have ferrets, or are you just here to watch the tiny chaos noodles do their thing? 😂👇

🦦MEET THE DELI BOYS OF BRIGMAN BARN! 🥪

We’ve been keeping a little secret… and it’s about time we introduced THREE of our newest rescued residents! ❤️

Meet the most chaotic sandwich you’ll ever encounter:

🤍 SALAMI – Our handsome white boy with little grey spots on his head. Don’t let that sweet face fool you!

🤎 BOLOGNA – Our brown boy, serving up a whole lot of personality with a side of mischief!

🤍 PASTRAMI – Our beautiful white boy, completing this ridiculous little trio!

These three boys have brought SO much laughter to the barn. They are full of energy, constantly running, wrestling, bouncing, exploring, and finding new ways to make us laugh. Watching them play is like watching three furry noodles that have absolutely ZERO control over their bodies. 😂

And yes… their names are Salami, Bologna, and Pastrami. Apparently, we’re running a deli now. 🥪🤣

🔎 DID YOU KNOW? FERRET EDITION!

🐾 A group of ferrets is called a business! So technically, these boys are our newest business partners. We’re just not sure they’re qualified for management.

💤 Ferrets can sleep 14–18 hours a day! But when they’re awake? FULL SEND.

💃 Ferrets perform something called the weasel war dance — a hilarious series of sideways hops, twists, and bouncing that usually means they’re excited and ready to play!

🎶 They make a happy little chattering sound called dooking when they’re having fun.

🕳️ Ferrets are natural explorers and LOVE tunnels, hiding places, and squeezing themselves into spaces you wouldn’t think possible.

❤️ Ferrets are domesticated animals and have been companions to humans for thousands of years!

These three may have come to us as rescues, but their next chapter is going to be filled with love, enrichment, adventure, and plenty of ridiculousness.

At Brigman Barn, every animal has a story worth sharing. These three are just getting started. 🥹❤️

👇 NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Which member of our deli crew would you like to see featured in their very own video?

🥪 Team SALAMI 🥪 Team BOLOGNA 🥪 Team PASTRAMI 🥪 Or TEAM WHOLE SANDWICH?!

Drop your vote in the comments, TAG a friend who needs a little ferret chaos in their life, and FOLLOW Brigman Barn to watch these three furry noodles grow, play, and steal the show!

🐰💕 SURPRISE!!! Brigman Barn got a little bit bigger… times FIVE! 💕🐰

A few weeks ago, one of the sweet bunnies we adopted decided to let us in on a tiny secret…

She was pregnant! 😂🤦‍♀️

We had absolutely NO idea when we brought her home, but not long after settling in, she surprised us with FIVE precious little babies! 🥹🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

These pictures are from when they were brand-new, teeny-tiny little nuggets, and we seriously cannot handle the cuteness. 😭💕 Mama has been doing an amazing job, and the babies are growing like weeds, getting fluffier, more curious, and developing their own little personalities every day.

And because five surprise babies weren’t exactly on the Brigman Barn expansion plan 😂, most of these little ones will eventually be looking for loving forever homes once they are old enough and ready. 🏡❤️

We’ll share updated pictures as they grow and more information when it gets closer to adoption time. Our biggest priority will be finding them safe, knowledgeable, committed homes where they’ll be loved and spoiled just as much as they are here.

For now, enjoy their newborn pictures because LOOK AT THOSE TINY BABIES. 😭🐰💕

👇 Help us out! What would YOU have named a surprise litter of five baby bunnies?!

🐰 Follow along to watch these little nuggets grow!

🚨 NEW ROOMMATES AT BRIGMAN BARN! 🚨

Everyone meet Fettuccine & Penne — our adorable baby rheas! 🐦🐦❤️

And yes… they are currently LIVING IN OUR HOUSE. 😂

For now, these two little dinosaurs are staying inside with us while they grow a little bigger. Keeping them close helps us make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of positive interaction and socialization while they’re young.

And let us tell you… living with baby rheas is an EXPERIENCE. 🤣

Fettuccine and Penne will randomly take off running with their little wings stretched out like they’re trying to achieve liftoff. ✈️😂 They follow everything going on, investigate whatever catches their attention, and make some of the coolest and strangest noises we’ve ever heard.

At one point we genuinely stopped and wondered…

🎆 “WHO IS SHOOTING OFF FIREWORKS?!”

Nope.

Just the rheas. 😂😂😂

These two already have SO much personality, and we can’t wait for everyone to watch them grow up!

🌿 FUN RHEA FACTS!

🦖 Rheas are large, flightless birds native to South America and are relatives of ostriches and emus.

🏃 They may not be able to fly, but they can RUN! Their long, powerful legs are built for speed.

🪽 Those wings aren’t useless! Rheas can stretch and move their wings while running, helping with balance and quick turns — which makes Fettuccine & Penne’s little wing-out zoomies even cuter.

👨‍👧‍👦 Rhea dads deserve some credit! In the wild, the male incubates the eggs and cares for the chicks after they hatch.

🌱 Rheas are omnivores and naturally eat a variety of plants, seeds, fruits and small animals/insects.

📏 And these tiny house dinosaurs won’t stay tiny! Adult rheas can stand around 4–5 feet tall, depending on species and individual.

We have a feeling these two are going to be VERY entertaining members of the Brigman Barn family. ❤️

Now we need to know…

👇 Which name belongs to which personality?

🍝 Fettuccine — the sophisticated, slightly dramatic one
🍝 Penne — the one choosing absolute chaos every morning

And would you ever let TWO baby rheas live in your house?! 😂🏠🐦

Follow Brigman Barn to watch Fettuccine & Penne grow from tiny house dinosaurs into full-sized members of The Cutest Kind of Chaos! 🐾❤️

🐭🌿 MEET FIG & OLIVE! 🌿🐭

Brigman Barn has two tiny new faces to introduce… Fig & Olive, our rescued African dormouse girls! 💜

Also commonly called African pygmy squirrels, these little ladies may look like a cross between a mouse and a teeny-tiny squirrel — but they’re actually dormice! And yes… those fluffy little tails are every bit as adorable in person. 😍

Fig & Olive are nocturnal, so they spend much of the daytime curled up somewhere cozy and hidden. But once evening rolls around… IT’S GO TIME. 😂 They scurry, climb, explore, leap around and investigate EVERYTHING. Their enclosure is packed with branches, hides, tunnels and climbing opportunities because these girls absolutely love being up off the ground and having plenty of places to disappear.

🌙 A few fun Fig & Olive facts:
• African dormice are native to sub-Saharan Africa.
• They’re excellent climbers and spend lots of time navigating trees, shrubs and branches in the wild. 🌳
• Those big eyes help them navigate during their nighttime adventures. 👀
• Their fluffy tails help give them that tiny-squirrel appearance and can assist with balance while climbing.
• They’re omnivores, naturally eating a variety of seeds, fruits and plant material along with insects and other small invertebrates. 🐛🍓
• They can move FAST. ⚡ One second they’re sitting still looking innocent…and the next they’re on the opposite side of the enclosure. 😂
• Their small size does NOT equal a small personality. These girls are curious, busy and incredibly entertaining to watch!

One of our favorite things about Brigman Barn is getting to introduce people to animals they may have never even heard of before. Every animal has a story worth sharing — even the ones that can fit in the palm of your hand. 🥹❤️

So welcome to the Barn, Fig & Olive! 🌿

👇 YOUR TURN!
Had you ever heard of an African dormouse before today?! And be honest… if you saw one without knowing what it was, would you have guessed mouse 🐭, squirrel 🐿️, or something else entirely? Tell us below!

🐰🏡 THE BUNNIES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE HOUSE! 😂💜

Today at Brigman Barn, Cappuccino, Latte, Pumpkin, Spice, Chai & Java got some supervised free-roaming time around the house—and judging by the pictures, I’m pretty sure they think they own the place now. 😂

There was LOTS of hopping, exploring, sniffing, stretching out and, of course, some serious bunny lounging. 🐇💨 One minute they’re investigating every corner of the room…the next they’re completely sprawled out like they just worked a 12-hour shift. 😂

They even got to meet a few members of the dog & cat welcoming committee! 🐶🐱🐰 Everyone was very curious about each other, and introductions were closely supervised. Apparently Brigman Barn staff meetings now involve multiple species. 🤣

AND LOOK AT THEIR NEW HOUSE TAGS! 😭😍 Each bunny now has their own little personalized name tag, because obviously every resident of Brigman Barn deserves customized accommodations. 💕🏠

🐰 FUN BUNNY FACTS!
• Rabbits can jump around 3 feet high—and some can go even higher!
• That hilarious jump/twist they do when they’re excited is called a binky.
• When a bunny dramatically flops onto its side, it usually means they’re feeling safe and relaxed.
• Rabbits’ teeth never stop growing, which is one reason unlimited grass hay is so important.
• Those giant ears aren’t just adorable—they also help rabbits regulate their body temperature.
• Rabbits are social, intelligent animals that can learn their names, routines and even tricks! 🧠🐇

My favorite part of rescue is getting to watch animals feel safe enough to simply be animals. ❤️ Whether that means zooming around the house, making friends, finding the perfect spot under a chair or doing absolutely NOTHING for a while. 😂

Now I need to know…which Brigman Barn bunny would YOU want to hang out with? 👇
☕ Cappuccino
🧡 Latte
🎃 Pumpkin
💜 Spice
🤎 Chai
☕ Java

Comment your pick—and follow Brigman Barn because there is always another animal, another rescue story and another dose of The Cutest Kind of Chaos around here. 🐰🐐🐢🐍🐴❤️

🐸🌿 Living their BEST little froggy lives at Brigman Barn! 🌿🐸

Ren, Stimpy, Pinky & Brain are absolutely thriving in their big, fun froggy paradise! 💚 These four have SO much personality packed into those adorable little bodies.

You never know where you’re going to find them — climbing the walls like tiny ninjas, soaking in their water bowl like they booked a day at the spa 😂, tucked away inside their fake tree, or just hanging out somewhere looking ridiculously cute.

And can we talk about those COLORS?! 😍 Depending on their mood and environment, their colors can change, and sometimes they are the most gorgeous shades of green, blue-green and gray. Watching them grow into healthy, happy little frogs has been so much fun.

But one of our favorite things? Every night, they call out to us! 🐸🎶 Nothing says “life at Brigman Barn” quite like lying in bed and hearing your frogs croaking away. 😂

Ren, Stimpy, Pinky & Brain may be little, but they are quickly becoming some of our favorite characters around here. 💚

🐸 Which one would YOU be?
🌿 Ren — the explorer
💦 Stimpy — soaking in the pool
🌳 Pinky — hiding in the tree
🧠 Brain — sitting back and plotting world domination 😂

🐐🐴🐷 “DAD’S HERE!!! EVERYBODY ACT NORMAL!” 😂❤️

After spending the day out enjoying the grass pasture, you’d think this crew would be perfectly content.

Absolutely not. 😂

The second Dad walked into the pasture, the entire welcoming committee started heading his way. Goats, horses, cows, chickens, everybody … apparently everyone at Brigman Barn shares the same thought:

👀 “Dad has entered the pasture.”
👀 “Dad usually has food.”
👀 “DAD MUST HAVE SNACKS.”
🏃💨 “FOLLOW HIM!!!”

Unfortunately for them, Dad did not come bearing an all-you-can-eat buffet. 😂 But that didn’t stop them from following him around just in case something magically appeared in his pockets.

One of our favorite things about this crazy little herd is just how friendly and loving they are. ❤️ They genuinely enjoy being around us, getting scratches, following us around and, yes… occasionally attempting to manipulate us into providing second dinner. 😂

Around here, personal space is nonexistent and apparently Dad = snack dispenser.

Now we need to know… 😂👇
Which member of the Brigman Barn welcoming committee would YOU want running up to greet you?! 🐐🐴🐮🐷🐓🐶

Because we’re pretty sure they’d all be happy to see you…
…but bringing treats certainly wouldn’t hurt. 😉😂

It’s been a really rough couple of days here at Brigman Barn. 💔

Farm life is NOT for the weak. When you open your heart and home to animals—especially rescues—you know that loss is part of the journey, but nothing ever prepares you for it.

Sadly, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize our sweet rescue Quaker parrot, Froggy, after he suffered an injury that simply couldn’t be fixed. 💙🦜 We wanted so badly for there to be another option, but ultimately loving him meant making the hardest decision for him.

And then today, our hearts broke all over again. We went out to the pasture and found our sweet Rigatoni had passed away. 💔 We truly have no idea what happened. Because Rigatoni was a rescue, we never knew his true age or much about his life before us. He had been eating, acting completely normal, and gave us no indication that anything was wrong.

These are the days that make rescue and farm life incredibly hard. You question everything. You replay everything. And you wish more than anything that they could tell you what happened.

But one thing we do know is that Froggy and Rigatoni knew love. They knew full bellies, safety, kindness, and a home where they mattered. They weren’t “just animals” here. They were part of our family and part of the beautiful chaos that makes Brigman Barn what it is.

Sometimes we don’t get nearly enough time with the animals who find their way to us. We just get the privilege of loving them for whatever time we’re given.

Rest easy, Froggy & Rigatoni. 🌈💙
I hope wherever you are, you’re whole, happy, and free.

At least they knew love. And they will always be loved. ❤️‍🩹
