Hi everyone,
My niece just joined 4H, and we are trying to figure out if the rabbits need to be registered?
Found adorable ones, but only the dad of the babies is registered.

Thanks,
Shannon
 
By "registered" do you mean a pedigree? 4-H rules for showing vary from state to state. Here in Massachusetts most 4-H shows are run using ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Assn) rules which require only purebred rabbits can be shown (other than Pet Class). However, the "purebred" rabbit does not need to have a pedigree. It just needs to meet the standard for that breed. It must also have a permanent tattoo in it's left ear.

I agree.

I used to show rabbits in 4-H and they had to be purebred, but no one asked to see a pedigree. Registering your rabbit with ARBA makes them more valuable, especially as a breeder, but it's not neccessary to have them registered to show them.
