I can't decide what direction I want to go with my rabbits. I know I need to pare down (for my sake). Ideally a trio, max 5 rabbits. I currently am feeding 11 at breeding age and 7 growouts. 4 of the 11 are ones that were for sale and either didn't sell, or the person left me hanging. Of course it's 3 bucks and a doe :roll: . 2 of the bucks we just didn't get to last processing day before we ran out of day lights - not looking forward to skinning those guys. Anyway... I have 1 NZW/REW buck and 2 does (proven), a Creme d'Argent doe (the one ODS picked out and paid for, proven), 2 chinchillas (buck and doe) (proven), and a harlequin dutch (proven, though rough getting to a litter, and it was only 3). I got the dutch thinking I would start transitioning to them for a smaller breed, but still meaty. Evidently they aren't a popular breed in our area :roll: and not easy to find. So now I am stumped. I love seeing color, but then again, that makes it easier to get attached to the kits. When they are all white they aren't as easy to single out or want to keep based on color alone. Dutch would be neat since they aren't as popular here, they are smaller, eat less, etc.
Help me?!?! :lol:
Pros? Cons? Curious what would you do? Stick with simple, go small and colorful? :roll: :lol: The chinchillas are beautiful, so maybe steer more toward them over the REWs - still simple, uniform color... but... different. I know I will keep my REW buck - he is a sweetheart and will be a pet when his breeding days are over.
