I was a long-time lurker here a while back, and I've recently been lurking yet again! I've been dying to get involved with rabbits and cavies, both showing and breeding, but since I was going through a divorce and living in an apartment, space was a big problem.
Now, I'm looking at purchasing my own home where I'll be able to have a dedicated cavy room, and also decided to get my project off the ground (and get to know cavies better) by purchasing two baby sows from a great breeder. So currently I have a broken b/w Skinny sow, a TSW (Tortoiseshell and White) female Teddy who is also a Skinny carrier, and tonight I will be picking up a cream/white broken Peruvian sow who "failed" out of her breeder's program. She is not for breeding since she has a prolapsed uterus (I'm getting her because I love the look of Peruvians and want to experience how difficult they are to keep in coat, because I am a glutton for punishment), but hopefully I will be breeding the other two for Skinny babies if I can find a suitable boar.
The biggest issue I'm having now is finding forums and other places to ask about showing cavies- all the cavy-centered ones seem completely packed full of anti-breeder/anti-show nutjobs.
