i currently breed Standard Rex for pets meat and fur, and Mini Rex for pets, but im also looking to get a couple of lop does for a rex coated lop project (plush and possibly even velveteen lops)

right now i have:

Standards:

The Girls:
Bluebell
- Broken Opal, and the sweetest mellowest most laid back bunny ever, she comes over and pushes her head under your hand so youll pet her!

Rowan
- Black Doe, Shes my "problem child" shes still young at 8 months and reacently had her first litter, she was pulled from a cull pen so hadnt been handled much ans is skittish, then a few days before giving birht she started acting more agresivly...shes been a GREAT momma though, first time momma, and only lost 1 kit in a litter of 9 babies (it got out of the box overnight and the temperatures Plumeted that night), she is such a good momma though that im going to give her a little more time before deciding if shes too feisty for my set up.
She has a GORGEOUS coat on her though!

Blackberry
-Broken Black Doe, shes the silly one of the group, realy curious and inquisitive. wont be breeding her for another month or so.

Strawberry
This is one of Bluebells babies that i decided to keep back after loosing my broken castor doe Acorn (broken neck stupid neighbors dog) shes a beautiful little broken castor doe, will see how she turns out.


The Boys

BigWig
- Black Otter Buck, hes my DOLL baby, hes another sweet loving musy face who will headbut you for snuggles and come runnign when he sees you comming. he is a little demanding about getting his luvins though lol, if you stop petting him hell head buttyou gain lol.
this boy has been shown and took a few ribbons for his former owner...might show him in the fall

Silver
Also bluebells baby, decided to keep him back as i LOVE his color, will see how he turns out, realy want to show this little guy.

Im thinking baout keeping a couple of Does out of Rowan too, to see how they turn out and to have replacemnts should i decide shes just not got the personality for my set up, she had himis and black otters

then theres the minis

The Girls
(these pics are all a few months old)

Holly
Charlie Tri-color, VERY sweet little girl. hoping to breed her in May.

Hazel
Tri-Doe. shes a little skitish compared to her sister, but shes settling down

The boys

Thistle
Opal Buck and another MUSHY bunny! loves to snuggle!

Im hoping to get my hands on a couple of blue or opal holland lop does
and an English lop doe
and im thinking of possibly bringing in a couple of NZ or Calis in the fall for meat production.

I love standard rexes. I didn't know Holland Lops came in the color Opal? Love the Tri color Minis. Almost would have bought one if it weren't for his pinched hindquarters.

I raise NZ and Florida Whites for meat and profit.

Cute babies! They are so white!

I have a New Zealand, but she is a show rabbit/pet. Although she gives me an attitude, I could never eat her.

 

[BarefootMom]

We don't eat very many of our rabbits, I mostly sell them. We have 5 working does right now, and 4 that will be of age this fall. Hoping to expand the rabbitry even more next year. They turn a good profit. I don't know anything about showing, but I do follow some of the threads on the rabbit group on facebook. Seems like an interesting time. lol

 

[shadow rabbit10]

Showing is tons of fun, but its work, time, and a little bit of money. If you are planning on showing or buying show rabbits, I could give you some tips, especially on buying show rabbits.

 

[BarefootMom]

Thanks anyway but I already have too much going on right now. Stay at home mom, full time student, farmer, sec/treas. of Tractor pulling club, etc etc etc. Busy busy busy!

 

[shadow rabbit10]

Busy, but at least you are doing something with your life! A lot of people would feel pretty accomplished if they were you!

OH MY GOD! You have the cutest Mini Rexes I have ever seen! Love your colors! Especially Hazel! Your Opal looks like my evil Mini. Silver is beautiful too! I wish all breeders had rabbits with those awesome colors!

 

[pinkfoxfarm]

thank you!

Im pretty picky when it comes to my buns, the way i figure it is if im breeding for pets or for meat/fur i need to enjoy it...so i bring in bunnies i like.
i was origionally planning to breed primarily for opals/broken opals and black and blue otters...
but i love the veriety.
Itll be interesting to see what we get out of thistle and both holly and hazel lol not sure how the tri gene is going to play with the opal lol.
