    Picking a Breed and Seller for Starting Out (Pics)

    Ok we named the rabbit Harvey and he is exactly 4 lbs at 8 weeks. I tried to pose him for form but he was really curious and wouldn't hold still. Anyway I'll try again in a month haha. I reached out via email to a couple sellers of rexes that had solid does and they haven't gotten back to me...

    Sounds like a really good setup. Really sturdy. I got some hardware cloth and also rabbit wire to put on the floors of tractors but only one has been wired on the bottom so far. Right now I have a rabbit tractor, an xl dog kennel, and a M dog kennel. I also have a chicken coop that I could...

    Ok so I went to Rural King and after being out of rabbits for a while they had rexes and minis. Here is the boy I brought home. He is 8 weeks. The standards were all siblings. I picked the biggest one. He also happens to be the most laid back and friendly. There were some otters with the super...

    Wow, thanks for all the great pictures and advice! Ah, the only pedigreed rabbits I've ever seen being advertised are Holland Lops and English Lops. They start out at $125 and they're not what I'm looking for anyway. This area is kind of small and rural so I think people have to travel an hour...

    There are lots of mini rex. Very few standard rex. I haven't found any pedigreed rex at all. The seller with the $50 does says hers have not been crossed with mini rex. So I assume they are purebred. But she seems to breed for tri color spashy patterning not any other particular traits. Around...

    That sounds like a full time job. Let me know how it goes with the jacob sheep. They're so cute! I want the horns but nothing to do with the wool. XD

    Oh yeah, Roanoke is only about an hour away. Bedford and Lynchburg are both very nice areas! We're practically neighbors.

    Ok. That's helpful to know. And, the rex are being sold for $40-50 as does only by one lady about an hour away. There is one other person selling rex, but I don't know if they're mini or not. Hmmmmm.

    Thank you guys! Yes. I want to convert from a residence to a farm for tax purposes...and so we can use the income to help with upkeep of the land. I thought about a couple steer.but thats a much bigger investment. I had goats before and it was a lot of work trying to keep them healthy and...

    Hi. I'm sure you get this question a lot. But just looking for some feedback here on picking a breed for meat and possibly pelts. I live in an area where I can get rabbits off Craigslist fairly easily as NZ, Flemish Giants, Standard Rex from some breeders. Rural King also typically carries lops...

    Hallo. My husband and I have 6.5 acres out in the southern part of the state in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have chickens, sometimes turkeys. I just added ducks. I'm not 100% sold on having rabbits, but my husband wants a small scale meat rabbit operation to keep our freezer...
