This place is definitely a haven of knowledge and encouragement. Thanks to all who have contributed. I'm learning a ton here!
I'll get to pick from different age groups ranging from senior does to just weaned kits. I'm going to look over those guides to see what I need to look for. I'm definintly going to check out their Florida Whites too. My son wants to get a doe from them as well so he can learn. He hopes to be able to make a little spending $$ too.
My setup consists of the 4 hole cage I'm getting, hanging under a lean-to that is connected to my shed, which is fenced in my backyard. I'm going to fence in a 30'x30' run so that the rabbits can have grass and sunshine as well as being handled regularly. My plan is to move the kits to a Polyface style tractor when they wean and grow them out on fresh grass. Then of course at 8-10 weeks, depending on size, they will help feed my family of 8. I know I'll have to do some tweaking here and there, as I've still got a lot to learn, but I'm excited that I'm finally about to start something I've been waiting a while to start.
No offense, but I'd rather not discuss the previous breeder anymore. Maybe she was just having a bad day. I know I could have responded better after she got an attitude, but I let emotion get to me as well. I wish her the best and hope she finds a good buyer for the rabbits she is selling and I'm thrilled that I have found some that I believe will suit my needs. Living, learning, and moving on.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
