    Breeds That Show Well

    Large breeds as a whole do not do well here in Florida heat. They do ok to intermediate weight but then take 10-11 months to make Sr weight, even on 18% feed. Silver Fox and CDA show well and have a good following and a fair share of Californians show here. Satins generally are not shown here...

    Silver Marten

    I wanted a 'Silver Marten' (the breed) since I was in 4-H (1977), but never got any. My goal for 2014 is to get some. I know Tex Thomas and Ron Riddle are the 'go to guys' for top quality show 'Silver Martens'. Let me know what you got or can get. I am in South Florida but can arrange transport...

    Tans, Thriantas or Dutch?

    My Senior Buck and unbred does are kept in 24X24X18. Some people keep bucks in 18X24. I have noticed that bigger cages tend to have difficulty keeping weight on bucks. My bred does are in 24X30. Jr's I keep in 18X24. Litter sizes are between 5-8. Polish are a great little breed, but then your...

    Tans, Thriantas or Dutch?

    Havana's. But three totally different breeds. Tans are running breed, beautiful and nervous breed. Thrianta are much smaller gene pool. So National caliber stock will be big $$. Dutch more out there to choose from but mismarked kits will be difficult at times.

    Who's going to Louisville, Ky this weekend?

    I recently went to Bloomington, IL for the Havana/Florida White Nationals. What a great time. Got to put faces with names and had a super time. It did snow for us so some other Florida people that went had a time of a life time seeing snow. We took back some great stock and Florida will have...

    I took step one towards meat rabbits today!

    If you choose a large breed. It would be Silver Fox, Altex, NZW, Californian or Champagne D'Argent. I would stay with a pure breed and not cross. A mid size breed. Florida White, Havana or Silver Marten.

    Do you breed your Does back To Back?

    I think that question will vary as much as 'which food is best to feed?'. I had three does recently all weighed 5lb 5oz to 5lb 10oz, One had 5, another 7 and the other 8. All first time moms. The one with 5 still isn't ready and it's been 3 months, the one with 7 is almost ready, and the one...
