I made a facebook account and business page separate from what my mom's side of the family can see (still debating trying to unfriend them without them noticing) so I can post my rabbitry and other animals I'm breeding without harassment. All the people I want to share it with can see it through my husband's facebook account since I made him an admin or join in on my new account. It's going to partially double as my animal blog until I get a webpage and new blog going.

I don't have a personal facebook page .... but have considered making one for my rabbitry.

The only other advertisement I have used is craigslist and don't get many responses despite the fact that I'm the only one within a hundred miles with Rex and most inquiries are "bla bla bla mini rex."
 
Can't really use cl for dwarf rabbits since most people don't think they belong in the livestock section. They flag after a few similar listings in either livestock or pet area. Sometimes I get away with rotating the nearby towns for location. I do that a lot with hedgehogs. When I get down to the last 1 or 2 of a litter I'll post it on CL for a quick sale and just put a different town each time. Mostly I use hoobly and I'm listed on rabbitbreeders.us (warning they added a very loud narrative to the homepage) which gets me a lot of pet buyers looking for a specific breed instead of petstore quality stuff. I used to use the yahoo group for my ARBA district but for some reason their new posting system won't work on my computer. It will pop up a form to fill out for posting and the send button does nothing.

Majority of hedgehog and chinchilla breeders exist by word of mouth, webpages that come up in searches, or facebook pages that come up in searches. A lot of those exotics breeders travel to various fairs, shows, and events out of state to sell animals and make a name for themselves. Something I can't do. I may have to cut my chinchilla prices for that reason and certain hedgehog colors I have to sell at half price because there isn't a big enough market in this area for them.
 
I hadn't thought of going on rabbitbreeders.us.

Do you have to be ARBA registered to do so ? I'm holding off on registering w/ ARBA for the time being but intend to at some point or another. Just have to iron out some personal issues first ....

Is there a fee ?
 
It's free and you can list pet quality, crosses, and meat mutts so you shouldn't have to be an ARBA member or registered rabbitry. I don't remember putting that info in there even though we are registered with the ARBA. I need to update my breeds again but I just did back in summer when I was getting serious in to american sables. Then the sudden decision to sell everything before winter. Since they have to manually update the list I didn't want to bother them again until I had pure pedigreed ND available.
