I'm curious as to what everyone breeds.[album]3100[/album][album]3099[/album][album]3097[/album][album]3093[/album]
I breed Holland Lops and American Chinchillas (We are planning to buy a Holland Doe)
 
I breed mutts, MR, Himi, and angoras:

one of my MR does:

I'd "snatch" them in a heart beat, Dood.....LOL. Too bad you're not closer.

NZW's and Californians......plus a new breed added this year. I just
realized....I don't have a single pic of my Cals. Gonna have to fix that.

This is my "Sweet-16" litter. 16 born and mama kept them alive for 48 hours.
I then culled the two smallest and she kept the 14 alive. One got out on
the wire and chilled=13 left. And one just flat disappeared!=12 left.
Unfortunately, this doe was a "flash-in-the-pan" and never came close to
my expectations. She ended up taking a trip on the "Snake-Train".
As did the two of her daughter's I saved back. DUDS!! I had High-Hopes
for this group. Oh well, such is life.

My new additions...REALLY like these. Pedigreed American Chinchillas.
I searched for two years before I finally found some "relatively" close.
440 mile round-trip.....It that's close.

I'm going to start phasing out the Californians and just buy a pair of Cal
bucks every few years. They're a great cross for market fryers, but the
Cal does fall short on litter numbers. I can use the cage space for better
production with the NZW does and chin crosses.
 
I raise Creme d'Argent and New Zealand Red, with a current litter that is a cross of the two.

I'm trying out my NZ cross with a MR--it'll be fun to see what comes out (baby rabbits, I know!). Whether they're sold as pets or eaten as dinner, I can't wait to post pictures of our first popples around January 22!!

Purebred and pedigreed American Chinchillas and mutts, can you tell the difference in my photos?
The one furthest left is what my rabbits look like except for the albino babies I had and My lop lol he don't look like that obviously <br /><br /> __________ Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:03 am __________ <br /><br /> Omg. I haven't looked at this thread since I was last on a few months ago so many cuties. Let's get more :D
 
I breed standard rexes for meat, fur, and 4H
Also NZW for meat (and have an NZX buck to add a little excitement color wise)

...and I got suckered into the big eyes and tiny size of the Polish, so now I have a trio of those as well. So far they are my favorite. My biggest doe is 2.5 pounds and SO CUTE, omg. Ridiculous!

All of that said --- I have all these breeding trios (and more) and so far no babies. But I just got started within the past few months.
