    Finally taking the plunge!

    Hello RT, it's been a while ^^ I had been planning to start breeding meat rabbits last summer at the BF's parents' farm. Due to weather those plans never came to fruition. The bf and I just moved out of our tiny apartment and into a rental house with a somewhat small backyard, but one that is...

    Magpie?

    Harlequin and magpie is very confusing to me, but the idea of magpie mini rex is very appealing. Harlequin mini Rex are pretty easy to come by in my area(a lot easier than a simple blue self, much to my chagrin) and I want to say that I read something about breeding them to a chinchilla? I...

    Mini Rex: color game-plan

    I want to produce blue, chocolate, and possibly lilac mini rexs. Any advice on how to do so while keeping low numbers? I was thinking an lilac buck and two does, a chocolate and a blue?

    Starting a breeding program?

    What are some tips for starting a breeding program? How many rabbits should I start out with, when should I(if I) bring in new blood? I'm considering starting my own line of Californians, breeding(from most important to least) tempermant, productivity(6-8 well fed kits per litter), and nice dark...

    ARBA show in Duncan, OK?

    Anyone going? ^^ This will be my first show(just spectating, not competing) and I'm very excited! I'm hoping I'll be able to arrange a deal with someone to pick up mature meat buck and doe while I'm there ^^ I want to have something to breed while I wait for my chin does (whom I'm picking up...

    Constantly changing rabbit plan?

    (If I've been posting too much, I'm sorry! ) I'm at a loss as to what I should do xD I am looking at starting a 1:3-4 breeding group for meat rabbits, and I can't decide on breed. Originally I was going to go one Californian buck to a few New Zealand White does since they were the 'best' when...

    Californian markings?

    I've been trying to find info on this and not having much luck. All of the Californian kits that I've seen for sale have very weak, light grey points. Do the markings darken with age, or is what I see what I get? Trying to come up with a back up plan, because it looks like the breeder I was...

    Possible change of plans?

    So, I had planned on picking up my six-week buck next weekend and my does the week after. The does were going to come from a breeder I know, but due to a divorce, he's having to downsize. This includes the sister of the chinchilla doe whose babies I was going to purchase. My main reason for...

    New rabbits and new to breeding!

    Well, to breeding rabbits anyways. Hello! I've been lurking for a while now but I figured that I would finally make an account and post. Especially since I picked up my first two-hole cage today, and will be picking up a second this weekend! I have a Californian buck reserved for me whom I...
