Maybe this is why people don't like making pedigrees. Good luck!

This whole discussion is so interesting! I jad no idea there was so much behind the colors.

Welp I guess her litters will be sold for pets then and my 8.5 lb doe will make our meat litters. Haha.

Tried to get a confirmation photo but couldn't get one of the rear without her slouching to the side. She seems to have an ok profile from the back though. I got Chocolate on the scale and discovered it is way off. It's a kilogram scale. I had at one point drawn tic marks in marker on the face...

All of the buck's siblings were either otter or broken black. So I suspect a self black and an otter were used to make him. Though I really don't know. I think getting a variety of colors would be really great. I could see which are the most popular. Blue, lilac and chocolate seem to be somewhat...

Sooo, I tried the color calculator to see what she might produce with my lil buck. And it seems there is a decent chance of getting some black otters. Those black otters seem to sell pretty well around here. I think they look super cool. So I'm really excited about this!

Hope your new litter goes well!

Good to know! Although...my 4 year old son decided to name her Chocolate anyway. ...causing his baby sister to search the whole house for candy because she heard the magic word.

Ok I went back and bought their last pure rex. She is a she! The rk lady who is typically there says it's a different breeder altogether so she will be totes unrelated to our buck. And she's a solid so no charlies. Is she chocolate or black ya think? ...and at 8 weeks she's a bit small at...

I don't have a ton of experience here but... Honestly, rabbits don't have a lot of blood and they don't have a strong gamey flavor like a deer. I would just pick whichever humane method you feel most comfortable with. Our rabbits have never screamed (even when dispatched) but I heard a wild...

This is such a fun thread! I love hearing about what everyone is doing. Our winters are not that cold. It might snow 2x's the whole year or not at all. Even so, most of our free time is spent chainsawing and splitting wood for our classic woodstove (Fisher) we put in last year. It's a hungry...

I like your rabbits. :3 I think they are seals because of the dark intensity of the brown. But I will find out today. If I get enough tip money I might buy one today. I will try to avoid the Charlies. Although, we could always eat the Charlies? Do Charlies grow out at the same rate or without...

Oh my goodness! I didn't even think about the fact of how close the rabbits are in age means they have to have a different mother! My buck is 10 weeks. These at RK are 8 weeks. There's no way the mom is the same. My buck is broken otter with siblings that were either broken otter or otter. The...

oinky? LOL. I guess I'll find out what that means if my cranky doe ever decides to let herself be bred. I understand the concept of line breeding, but I'm a beginner at rabbit ownership. I wouldn't know what good traits and bad traits to focus on with line breeding. As far as goal setting I...

Rural King now has California whites and rexes and rex mixes (probs mixed with Californians) again. I'm not sure if it's the same breeder as last time. The pure rexes are a dark dark brown and lovely. The mixes are broken black and otter again. I'm not sure if I should get a californian or one...

No idea. I imagine around Easter there will be more popping up for sale. I will keep checking. I have to wait some months until my buck is old enough to successfully breed without getting dominated. Or i could pick up one of those sale bucks. Lol

Should have made getting the rabbitry out of the family room a goal. That lil buck was starting to spray the back wall and really stinking things up! He did not so that before his girlfriend moved in nextdoor. Time to be an outside rabbit! I covered them a bit more than shown. It's gonna be...

Hallo! They look beautiful. Good luck!

Not that I've been able to find. What I mostly see are lops, lions, NZs and some Flemish. Some mini rexes too. Occasionally silver fox or chinchilla, but all of those breeders are now out of does. There are buck clearence sales going on everywhere, haha.

Ok thank you!
