I rent and can have my rabbits at my house (or at my urban farms but I prefer to keep them close). I have ten holes and am breeding Dwarf Hotots for show. When I was a youth ARBA member I think I had about 100+ holes so this is a BIG change in strategy for me.
Question: Anyone else breeding for high quality show rabbits in ten holes or less? I might go up to 15 but that is the absolute max.
Question #2: What strategies other than heavy culling do you attribute to your success? I have a high quality trio to start with and am thinking smart line breeding may help. Any ideas, stories, or suggestions?
Culling heavily will be easy because there is a huge 4-H market in the area as well as a pet market, I live in the city. Planning on keeping one of each litter, maybe three total. What long term strategies do small rabbitry folks swear by?
Thanks!
