Oooh... the thoughtful and serious side of CattleCait!

Nice article.

Silvers sound like an intriguing breed! They would make a very interesting colony project.

Awesome article.

Me being a newbie and all, it was very informative. I never even new silvers existed!

Great article! Thanks for sharing here. Had my first litter of Silvers born last Fall. Interesting breed for sure.

I like what she said about being transported to medieval time when she hold her rabbits- that was a neat article.

I had never seen a Silver in person until I went to pick up my first ones, and I had been in rabbits for ten years at that point. I knew I wanted them, just had never actually seen one.

I love the darn things, have had them for nearly 10 years now I think. Fawns are my fav, though I have/have had all three colors. All the varieties have their own personality, Fawns are the sweetest and softest, very cat like. Browns are spooky and freaky, Blacks are pushy but personable. I'm an old Scadian, and I just had to have the oldest known breed of rabbit known to man. They do grow on you. My yard bunny right now is a black named Morticia, she has a rabbit door into the barn so she can come and go as she pleases. She's been running loose for 6-8 months now, I have food bowls for her in the barn, and she's quite capable of taking care of herself. Tough little rabbit.
