Today I finally got clarification on the verbiage of my city's municipal ordinances, and it's official; you can't raise more than two rabbits within the city limits. So, I'm a bit saddened... The things I had been most excited about with regards to getting into the hobby was raising litters for meat and fur, and keeping a few of the better ones to show and line breed.
I'm down. But I'm not out.
Since I'm not allowed to breed, I can't really focus on meat/fur breeds to the full extent I had hoped. But it does give me a reason to look more into wool breeds I had kind of glossed over before, and focus on learning all the ins and outs of rabbit care and rabbit showing while I have a smaller, more manageable herd. It also means I can save money on starting up, since I don't have to plan for grow out cages or butchering equipment.
There's some silver linings to be found on the clouds that have rained on my rabbit parade!![Sun behind rain cloud :white_sun_rain_cloud: 🌦️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f326.png)

And perhaps someday I'll be able to house my rabbits in a city with more relaxed ordinances. But for now, my bunny dreams are going to have to be a bit smaller than I had originally anticipated.![Pensive face :pensive: 😔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f614.png)
