These are the 9 Mini lops born on October 11th 2012 to my Gold tipped black steel doe, Sparkles, and my broken smoke pearl buck, Dixon. Considering the parents are some of my best rabbits I am disappointed in this litter. At this point I see maybe two show quality does and one buck. Thats 3 out...

So I am selling all my satins, no one is interested however and it looks like it might be spring before it happens. I'm offering my bucks for free, all but one. I put two of my does together in a 20' x 10' pen or a little bigger. No issues at all. Now I want to add my older doe ( mother to one...

These are the two full size Rex I won in a raffle at the fall Maquoketa IA show. It was a fluke I never inteded to raise these breeds, but they are very pretty and sweet. Conformation wise I know nothing. So let me know are they even worth keeping for show? Or should I just give them away to pet...

If this is the wrong spot for this feel free to move it, I just wasn't sure. Since this is something I figure maybe other breeders have done, I am hoping someone can answer my question. I recently registered my Rabbitry with the ARBA. I got my first choice, The Royal Rabbit and then realized I...

I have some learning to do if I intend to keep these two buns. We raise mini rex and mini lops and are getting out of Satins. Yesterday at a local rabbit show I made the mistake of giving my friends raffel tickets they all put them into rabbits and we won three rabbits. A broken Red Rex doe, a...

So i have probably read everything there is to read about using a tattoo pen to tattoo rabbits, but am still a bit nervous about the whole process and since the pen came in the mail yesterday tonights the night I need to try it. I have two charlies that are 10 weeks old I will be trying it on...

I have been working on chocolate otters for a bit now. I had one nice chocolate buck I got at a swap for a mere $15 with full pedigree. His coat is a bit harsh but he has an amazing body, nice short ears and the cobby look I love in my mini rex. When a friend who has boughten rabbits from me...

I had a litter born the 12th (9 mini lops)all have had eyes open for a while now. Since day 14 or 15. This litter was born the 13th (5 Satins and 1 mini lop from above litter fostered). Their nestbox is darker ( covered cat litter box) and its been so cold I haven't done much but check for fat...

Well my broken black doe is most assuredly a broken self steel. I bred her to my Broken Smoke Pearl buck and ended up with a beautiful Silver tipped smoke pearl steel! Wanted to share some pictures for those who have never seen one. When she was tiny her color was indistinguishable from her...

So I have found that raising and showing three breeds is just to much of a financial and physical strain on my family. Once I decided to get it down to two breeds it was obvious which breed would go. The satins. I started with Satins and one of the does I have had for three years now, so its not...

This is our most recent litter of Mini rex. Born June 23rd 2012. Three black otter does and a black buck. The buck is for sale. The does will be bred to a Chocolate buck for Chocolate otters. Their father is a chocolate and mother a black otter. I am in love with this litter. Both looks...

We raise show rabbits. Other then Pet, show is their main job. We do of course breed for more/better show rabbits, and we sell the extras. That said. Rabbit food just jumped $2 a bag. We are currently going through a bag a week sometimes closer to 5 days. I barely broke even before. It's going...

I have raised rabbits for almost 5 years now, until recently however they lived in the garage. Recently I have brought in two of my favorites. Happen to be a buck and a doe. The doe has been living in a converted Guinea pig Habitat. 4' long by 2' wide on top of my dining room table. While the...

This is a cage question but I am mainly interested in what others who show do. I am at the point in my herd where I am trying to grow out the best and make my own line. The problem I am finding is that with two of my breeds ( mini lops and Satins) it is taking 4-6 months before I am really able...

I have been raising satins since 2009, so you would think by now I would be a pro at knowing what to look for in a keeper. However up until now I have only ever had one pair of Siamese Satins. So I havn't kept any babies back. I recently got an unrelated buck, and then lost my four year...

Hello, I have been reading a lot about colonies on here and love a lot of your set ups its something I would like to try someday with my retired show rabbits. The problem I am having right now is with my "free range" rabbit, as my friend calls her. We raise Mini lops, about two years ago...

So the babies are now 8 weeks old, closer to nine now actually. I did some indepth posing and photo shoot the other day. The pictures are not GREAT, and some are not as centered as they should be, but I am hoping for some critiques of these guys. I know I want to keep one of the GTBS I just...

Well our two mini lop litters just hit six weeks. I finally have some idea of who I am keeping so here are some pictures of the ones I am sure I am keeping ( at least to 4 months) at the bottom will be the ones I am thinking of keeping. I wanted to keep a total of ten from these two litters but...

Well here we go again. I took a bunch of pictures of the "grey" mini lop that I am having such a hard time telling the color of. He is four weeks old today, cute as a button and will be staying till at least three months. As long as he has good type, he may well be my solid herd buck. That is...

I am looking for something to give my rabbits to help firm up their poop. Though the droppings I find are all solid, my young kits are always having poopy butt especially between 3 and 5 weeks old. I get tired of having to keep cleaning them up and so I wonder if there is something I could...
