I wanted a livestock animal that was cute and soft. Chickens meet that criteria, but they're also noisy and their poop is gross. Rabbits are quieter, cuter, softer, and their poop is contained in pellets! And while rabbits have never been farmed in my family, we hunted wild ones frequently...

So, I'm considering getting into wool rabbits. But the grooming commitment seems intimidating, and I don't even know the first thing about knitting with wool, let alone spinning it! Wool rabbit breeders of the site, I humbly come to you...with a boatload of questions! Which of the wool...

Welcome to Rabbit Talk! I'm in the same boat you are, and the people here have been an incredible resource. What got you interested in rabbits? :)

Hey folks! Thanks for all the advice, well wishes, and pats on the back; it really helped me get past my sad little funk! <3 It's funny because technically I don't live in GR! But any rabbits I'd own would live in a Grand Rapids zip code. I live in an 1 bedroom apartment in a small town just...

Today I finally got clarification on the verbiage of my city's municipal ordinances, and it's official; you can't raise more than two rabbits within the city limits. So, I'm a bit saddened... The things I had been most excited about with regards to getting into the hobby was raising litters...

How do you like them, TKT? I've been considering going for the KW 42x30x28. But it's a toss up between starting out with separate "proper" cages for each rabbit, or a shared rabbit tractor with an attached hutch like the Eglu Go . (Note: I may not be able to breed for a while and would need...

This has worked for me since I use Chrome! Thanks TomO!

That's poetic as heck!

Thanks Nibbles, that's really swell of you!

That's fantastic, thanks for such a thorough answer! 🥰

Sorry if it's bad etiquette to revive a dormant thread, but I'm actually really interested in hearing how you're able to sell the heads/entrails/feet/tails! Do you market them as pet food or fish chum or something? How do you prep/package it for sale? Who do you usually sell to and how did...

I'm still a novice, but whenever I'm curious about a breed's availability in my area, I start my research with the ARBA directory and the website of the national specialty club. ARBA Find a Breeder Page American Satin Rabbit Breeders Association Breeder's Directory These may not have every...

I see! Thanks you two, that really made it all make a lot more sense, and it sounds like lots of fun!

Aside from membership dues, I assume registration of rabbits and sanctioning of shows is how ARBA funds itself. I'm curious about data like the numbers of various breeds and colors registered in each region of the country on a personal level. Not only does it sound like it'd be an...

Oh, you watch Teal Stone Homestead as well? Same here! I guess she's the rabbit community's version of an influencer, eh? XD

I have! They're beautiful rabbits! It's funny you mention mushrooms and microgreens, since I actually am hoping to do those as well! I was thinking the microgreens would make a yummy occasional treat for my rabbits during the winter...but also be good for my partner and I as well...

Oh how fantastic! I'm happy to hear my home state is able to have ARBA shows like the Lower 48 does. I'll order a couple calendar's for myself and my dad! He still lives up there, but it'll be quite a while before I could ever consider returning home.

I agree, I find dark mode to be much easier on my eyes. If there were any way to incorporate a Dark Mode feature on the forum, I'd be happy for it!

I frequently see "sweepstakes" mentioned on the ARBA website...and they make no sense. It doesn't seem to be a rabbit giveaway raffle, which is what I thought it was the first time I read the term. Based on this document I found on the American Tan Rabbit Specialty Club's site, it involves...

What I raise the rabbits for will depend very heavily on what answers I get about city ordinances from the Urban Agriculture Committee. I'm very interested in showing rabbits, as it seems like a good way to network with other rabbit fanciers and farmers, sell rabbits, and obtain good breeding...
