What are some important questions you always ask a breeder when buying/thinking of buying a rabbit off them?
I've found a breeder who's rabbits are what my two does trace to. Before contacting her I had a hint through the recent- semi recent show results for her area (she's about 8 hours away from me), and her rabbitry name was in there fairly regularly.
I'm buying a buck off her, which I'm quite excited about. But after some really bad experiences with people being either dishonest or just selling me their rubbish, I'm also very wary. It's not cheap shipping rabbits down, and the last thing I need is another crap buck :x
She says she's getting out of (or cutting down on- can't remember) Netherland Dwarfs to focus on her JWs more. Totally understable, and I guess that means I won't just be getting her worst rabbits, right?!
I'm giving her another call later today and want to make sure I'm smart about what I buy. I'm only 17, and with bunnies AND horses I don't have a ton of money to throw at rabbits that are going to be no good!
