Despite my avatar, I hiiiighly recommend Rex. They come in a beautiful variety of colors and can be easily sold for pet/show as well. If you like roast rabbit vs. fry rabbits they also have beautiful valuable pelts. :) (They also in my experience breed way easier than NZW)

Perfect! Pictures like that are great. :) Good lighting, nice clean backdrop, not a cage in sight. Also mention with colors your solids vs. your brokens available, just to be a bit more specific with what you have (and edit every time a bunny has sold to keep a running inventory list that is...

Okay I might have some of the best insight on this as someone in a community where CL is THE way to post things and I have successfully gone around the rules themselves np. Step 1) Drop all the flowery talk. It only encourages these types to get more attached and sentimental about your rabbits...

(Almost?) Every Rural King buys rabbits for $10 a pop. You just need to have a DoB on them and sign a statement that they're over 8 weeks old. They will also mail you the check for the full amount so biggest downside is having to wait for corporate to process that if you can't wait to get it...

I built my bunny barn (actually a carport) directly next to my well. I run a drinking water safe hose from the spout to a suspended (above the rabbit cages) 5-gallon bucket using toilet float mechanics to keep it topped up (yes, one of the newer toilet floats that are tube-shaped - just install...

Yeah waiting too long has been the biggest downfall for past rabbits for me. Especially once they get a lil older. Heck, I'm currently in the process of culling all of my E Angora and starting with new stock because I fractured a bone in my foot back in November and could not access the bunny...

That's just an old wives tale with no basis in reality. Idk why that myth has become so popular and I don't blame you for repeating it either, it's in way too many books but super super easy to disprove (I frequently re expose does to bucks a week or two after initial breeding to confirm...

Alfalfa won't grow in Florida. It's why peanut hay is our local fare (similar nutritionally but can survive our climate, I find rabbits like them more than alfalfa too). Clover will grow here too, but struggles in summer heat (most likely too late in the season for it now depending WHERE in FL...

lol, sorry I edited it off, I saw I was top of page and realized a snake phobe not expecting it to be part of the convo might of had a heart attack lol I was actually here initially because I was contemplating buying some off you in the future possibly. >> Like once I'm down to just 6 "keeper"...

Actually, if that ain't it I'm pretty sure it was an escaped pet of some kind. Likely not a color morphed ball python (they have too much of a neck to fit the shape), but possibly something similar to that. I wish it stuck around longer. I love finding ones I don't know yet.

frankly I'd be paranoid as hell messing with the power source, either an exterior outlet that is where we plan to build a front porch in the next few years or the main circuit breaker which is fed directly from the power company's lines (which were buried due to my trees), it has a slot for my...

Shot in the dark but could it have been a florida pine snake? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituophis_melanoleucus If so, a rare find indeed! I saw one once while walking on the trailhead off baseline near maricamp.

Huh. I keep my birds in a 10ft x 10ft chainlink covered dog kennel as their "coop" (this is FL so ventilation is a much bigger issue than "cold"). I guess I'll be snatching this idea as this would be the most effective way of lighting their area up. Seeing as these kind of lights are rated for...

I'm a pretty huge animal lover and honestly, that would be a much more humane use for those animals than what currently happens to them in our shelters and feels a lot more respectful to me too. This county puts the bodies in trash bags and the dump digs a hole in "garbage mountain" and they...
