We are looking for rabbits. We are looking for New Zealands and Japanese Harlequins. Looking for them to be as close to Kentucky as possible.

The ARBA National Rabbit show will be in Louisville KY this fall (October) and also in the fall of 2024. That is a wonderful opportunity to buy very good rabbits--lots of breeders sell rabbits there. Contact the national clubs for the breeds you want, they will put you in touch with other breeders. Event Schedule
Already went the ARBA and the clubs. No response from there for either breed. Done all the other sources as well. Figured trying here might help or get me another option. I guess not.
keeping an eye on the facebook group might help you. Log in or sign up to view
most FB groups are filled with scammers from Cameroon. It is against the TOS to buy or sell animals on FB. Hence coming here to post.
I'm not going to argue with you. You can't buy and sell animals on facebook but you can make connections. It's at least a place to start. It was a place to start. Was merely trying to give you additional options. It hasn't been my experience of spammers from Cameroon on facebook selling rabbits.
It has been mine. I have tried FB already and got nothing but scammers. Yes, I went and dug into them when things did not add up. Yeah, FB groups are loaded up with the scammers. Just cause they say there are in the US does not mean they are. There is an entire FB group set up to weed out the scammers. 90% of the current animal scammers are out of Cameroon.
Even making "connections" is against FB TOS. Originally the ban allowed farmers and rescues to continue on, but that didn't last a year. FB changes the rules to make PETA happy. PETA owns a big chunk of FB stock. I have tried FB, MeWe, ARBA, the National clubs, Craiglist, Hitchpin, Farmish, and a ton of other places. Most of the people listed on many of the sites as having the breeds I am interested in no longer have rabbits.
that makes it very hard doesn't it?

There are a number of rabbit groups on fb, some variety specific, others general, it is a good place to put in requests.
The sell and trade groups are closed, you have to ask to join. You can post ISO='In search of' and ask people to PM you with info and photos if they have any available.
That is how I started finding the scammers. Yeah lady had 3 of the breeds I was interested in. Even the Japanese Harlequin and she was only a 2 hour drive from me. I started getting the odd feeling when she kept asking for me to send money via CashAp. Then I started digging....
Thank you I had not found this in all my searching. It is just frustrating most days. All this cause of my husband's ram getting into the rabbit area and releasing the rabbits. Over 300 in cages ruined. Not to mention the fox ate great on the rabbits that he released.

I'm on several Facebook groups, with different hobbies, and I haven't run into scammers.
Would this help?
Oh they are there. They are in every one of the animal/livestock groups. Many of them actually run some of groups. Most people never realize they exist until they or somebody they know get taken. Believe me I have ran into them when I have been looking for any animal.
Thank you but I have found some Silver Martens and Silver Foxes. We decided we will go in that direction.
Thank you everybody. In searching for New Zealands found several breeders close to us with Silver Fox and Silver Martens. We decided to go in that direction. We raised Martens in the past and liked them, but figured with them being not so common we would never find any. Silver Foxes were the breed my husband had wanted several years ago and we have 4 breeders near us that have rabbits available.
