Thanks for the feedback, this is great info!

Not sure how to delete this post, but all available stock is sold!

I understand. Transport is so expensive, especially with gas nowadays! 😵‍💫

Thank you folks for the insight! We recently moved to our current area along with all the rabbits. Just the landlord changed their mind about allowing rabbits in particular since they don’t want the neighbors complaining about us eating them (we’ve kept it under wraps, but still). Definitely a...

Thanks for the interest! Unfortunately, I do not ship live animals. There might be other folks closer to you with good lines and whose rabbits are more adapted to the climates in your region. Finding a new herd sire to compliment your lines, especially a local one, is tough! The ARBA website...

*Disclaimer: We are from Ventura County, California. We are aware of the rabbit disease spreading around and are currently disease-free and taking extra precautions to prevent exposure to our herd. Due to our landlord giving us a "rabbit eviction" notice, we are selling out our New Zealand...

Hey everyone! I recently got served a "rabbit eviction" from my landlord, so my whole rabbitry has to go. As I go about craigslist with the dread of selling very valuable ($100-$400), high end rabbits to who-knows-who, I had this idea: Can I loan my expensive breeders to youth who might benefit...

Hey all! I’ve been a bit conflicted over how to determine my rabbits’ ages. I see some folks count weeks, others months. At the moment, I’m trying to determine when I am able to use a certain litter for breeding (should any kits pass the cull checklist). I have two litters of New Zealand REW...

I do plan on showing, and am actually entering a show next month (mostly to get a judge’s opinion on my initial stock than to compete). However, I do hope to learn from the experience and compete in future shows!

He’ll be a year old next month, so yes, a bit young. I’m going to try working with him as he’s the only buck I have for the moment. It wasn’t his first breeding as he had 5 previous litters before we purchased him, so I was somewhat surprised his previous owner never said anything about him...

Yes and no. From what I understand, steel can be carried regardless, but only shows if your rabbits are agouti as well. Yes, I do want REW’s so I am trying to breed him, but turns out he is very aggressive to does and tried to hurt them in any way he can (besides the normal grab hold to breed)...

I was concerned about it being genetic as well, and I guess I’ll find out! I know spraying is, which is another reason I really wanted to keep him as we haven’t had that issue. I’m hoping to get a new buck protégé from the next expected litters that I can hopefully replace him with, without the...

Yeah, I don’t blame you! Had I known ahead of time, I probably would have gone with a different buck. Now that I know about his “dating” personality, I wouldn’t even sell his kits unless I was sure they didn’t carry the same fault (by breeding them a couple times). I didn’t think about...

I didn’t know about the thumping part. Never had a buck do it before, so I thought he was being territorial. Good to know! I usually remember to give my breeders a “spa date” before their big day to check for any health issues I might have missed, faults or DQs tht might be more visible (if...

I have an amazing buck with the best type out of all my breeders. He handles well, had never bit me, and is rather calm all around. HOWEVER, he really tries to rip up the ladies during their “dates.” I don’t mean the occassional mouthful of fur to hang on, but digging at them, biting them...
