Thanks for all of the good words. And SuburbanHomesteader it isn't my first litter and I know what I did was kind of selfish but I just couldn't handle the dead little babies.. I actually had to have my mom come out and help me clean the fur that was stomped into the wire part of her cage. I...
Ok so I have this habit of mixing all the bunny breeds I have. Like seriously, NOTHING is pure in my rabbit farm. I obviously don't sell them for showing purposes but I sell them MOSTLY (some meat) as pets for children. ANYWAYS.. I want to mix my pureish..? holland doe with my friends pure...
