Am in the process of trading my 2 bucks for some rabbits I can use.
The rex is a cuddle bunny but the NZW was put in my loops bucks old cage. She went a bit bonkers last night, checking it out. Is a bit standoffish today. I should be getting a Cali or Silver Fox buck today (same breeder) and intend to breed her in about a week. Short quarantine but the only rabbits here, will be from that breeder. I am waiting at least a week, to see how to takes to my area. Anyone think that (considering the factors) is too soon"?
- I was originally going to get a 1 Cali buck, 1 Cali doe and an NZW doe. The rex, I fell in love, though in researching breeding Reds, may trade her back for his black or wait till he has some other color. Wrong? Reds, easier than I think?
- As far as the Cali buck, when I went yesterday, I thought he only had meat rabbits. He has a bit of everything.
-- Background: when I got into dog breeding, I had had dogs since I was a child - minimum learning curve, in comparison to rabbits.
- I know these do not have pedigrees and may have DQ, but I am trying the sizes / breeds to see what I fit with.
So, questions:
1) as a meat rabbit - any comments about a Silver Fox male breeding(s) to A) Cali female B) NZW
2) Red Rex - he has other colors, some (barn does not have good lighting) that appear to be a grey or lilac, should I go that route, or wait till his Red Rex Buck (that he got 2 weeks ago) is out of quarantine and get the Red Buck?
