Hello from Massachusetts!
I'm seriously considering starting a Rex rabbitry because it appeals to me on so many levels--healthy and sustainable food for my family, fine tuning a good breeding line, beautiful animals to nurture, and (admittedly my favorite part) an endless supply of cute baby bunnies to cuddle!
I know it isn't all snuggles and rabbit stew though. Rabbits need daily care, and a growing rabbit family would need more cages, more food, and more time from me, especially when a litter of kits comes along. Given that I already have four children to take care of, my life is busy and I don't want to dive into rabbit breeding only to discover that I don't have time or energy to properly care for my rabbits and their kits. Do you seasoned veterans have any advice about how/whether I should give this a try?
Thanks!
Kimberly
