So I finally found breeders for two of the meat rabbits I was looking at. The American Chinchilla and the Silver Fox. Eventually I'd like to raise both. I already know that the Am. Chins are pedigreed and will be show quality. So my breeding program would start out with really good stock, and...

Well it's official! I'm a proud bunny momma! I just brought home a beautiful tri mini rex buck. I haven't picked out his name yet, please feel free to throw suggestions at me! I took a few pictures but they're not very good. He was much more interested in munching on some hay than posing for my...

Hay confuses me! Alfalfa hay, timothy hay, orchard hay... I have a small bag of timothy hay, but I know it won't last very long once my new bunny comes home. :lilbunny: I called the local feed store, they have hay, but it's a mix. They said it has some timothy in it, but it's not pure timothy...

I'm wanting to have a shed in the yard to house the rabbit cages, accessories, and feed. I know it needs windows for light and good ventilation. From what I've seen there aren't very many really good buildings. The wooden ones come with windows, or some of them do, but they have wooden flooring...

I've found 32 acres for sale near where we live. Right now we haven't been out to the property, but everything sounds promising. I'm still researching it, but we might just be able to swing it if the land is good. It is partially hilly and wooded, but there looks to be a good 3-4 acres of...

I'm used to seeing my clobber-footed border collie/golden retriever mix, Dexter, doing very funny and ungraceful stunts in his most enthusiastic moments. I've also got a much more graceful chihuahua, Mason, or so I thought he was more graceful the way he prances around all the time. Had to share...

Can rabbit meat be sliced for bacon and lunch meat? Also, can it be ground into burger? Just curious. Once I'm raising my own rabbit meat it'll be nice to know what kind of variety I can make from my bunnies.

We need this smiley added to our smilies list: :pinkbunny: That is all. lol

I have questions about the Holland Lop. I know they're very small and supposed to be quite friendly and playful when handled properly. I was at our local pet store today and saw a rabbit that they advertised as a holland lop, but one ear was lopped and the other erect. They had another, a...

Okay, so my husband wants me to get a smaller pet rabbit before I try my hand at a Silver Fox. We compromised because he wants me to make sure I'll actually enjoy caring for a rabbit before buying more expensive rabbits that I have to try five hours one way to even purchase. If I'm going for a...

Someone recommended that I build my own hutches because it would be cheaper. Well, as fun as building a rabbit hutch sounds, I know for a fact that I'm not going to be able to build a hutch to my satisfaction, especially considering that any wooden structure involving a rabbit seems unsanitary...

Okay, so I was thinking of going with Giant Chinchilla's and then adding some Silver Fox later, but both these breeds are extremely hard to come by in my area. The closest breeders are 13 and 18 hours away. However, just 1 and 1/2 hours away I could get Flemish Giants. Would these be good to...

As soon as I find a job I'm planning on saving up to start my very own meat-producing rabbitry. I'd love to have an entire small farm, but with only half an acre of land, I'll be needing to start smaller. Also, living just outside city limits doesn't exactly create ideal location for a farm...
