Weight on pedigree

[R Wild Hare Rabbitry]

When filling out a pedigree is the weight the weight of the rabbit at the time of filling it out?

You could.... usually people wait for Senior weight.....( at least we do) To me, putting a junior weight on... would make it look underweight. Perhaps if there is a place for notations one could say " X lbs at 5 months " or something like that ....

I do know to Register a rabbit ALL weights must be on the pedigree...

I like the Official ARBA pedigree book. They have Date of Birth on there so the weights would be more believable according to birthdate

I would say put what the weight is the first time you use the rabbit for breeding or show it as a senior.

Right or wrong, I've always put the weight at the time I sold - if a jr, it has a jr weight. If I was going to a show and planning on selling the rabbit, I've filled out the pedigree papers before hand with the weight at the time. The buyer can always put the information into their program and/or system and adjust the weight as necessary going forward.

That sounds like the best thing to do Lastfling thanks

Okay so this is a question for anyone who comes across this, I breed and sell rabbits, I usually keep them from birth until they are a month old, so should I write their weight down from that age? Or just tell whoever takes the baby to weigh them in 5 months?
