Any Rabbit Breeders/Owners Here at BYC?

[Kiki]

Never saw this mention in this thread. Looks fun!

1) I currently have 5. Lowest was 3, highest was i think 11?
2) I have had these current rabbits around 6 months
3) American Chinchillas!
4) My rabbits are breeders whose litters have different purposes. Mixes for personal meat consumption (amchin X NZ). And pedigreed pure breeds I sell for pet, show or breeding stock. I also use the black gold for gardening.
5) Started breeding them because they seem to fit well into my lifestyle, offering meat, fertilizer and even some cash.
6) My breeders are Sir Hops a Lot, Maple, and Momma Mavis
7) American Chinchillas and one Tortoise Shell New Zealand
8) They are deemed critically endangered by the National Livestock Conservancy, and are truly versatile. I added the NZ to mix for hybrid vigor in my meat mixes. It totally worked!

Tell me they are softer than a mini rex.

2) How long have you had rabbits? Or Rabbit?

3) What's your top favorite breed?

4) Why did you get your rabbit(s)?

5) (If you breed (or have bred in the past) Why did you start (or stop) breeding rabbits?

6) What's your rabbit(s) name(s)?

7) What breed(s) are/is your rabbit(s)?

8) Why did you choose the breed you did?

1.) I have two rabbits right now. One of them I'm only babysitting for a year or so.
2.) I have had rabbits for the last decade or so. My current rabbit is 7 years old and I got her as a baby.
3.) Netherland dwarf, but I may be biased.
4.) As pets.
6.) Willow and Honey.
7.) Netherland dwarf and a lop.
8.) Honestly? Availability. I didn't have much of a preference.

Questions:
1) How many rabbits do you own? We have 2

2) How long have you had rabbits? Or Rabbit? Brand new owners, just got them in August

3) What's your top favorite breed? I don't have a favorite, but my husband wants to get into New Zealands

4) Why did you get your rabbit(s)? My granddaughter has asked for a pet rabbit that she can't keep at home

5) (If you breed (or have bred in the past) Why did you start (or stop) breeding rabbits?

6) What's your rabbit(s) name(s)? Snickers (tan one) and Bandit (black one)

7) What breed(s) are/is your rabbit(s)? Snicker is a Rex/New Zealand mix and Bandit we have no idea. She looks like a Netherland Dwarf.

8) Why did you choose the breed you did? My friend had these available

Also Bandit is very stand-offish. She does not like to be held and will do everything she can to keep you from picking her up. She will even growl. Both bunnies were 4 weeks old when we got them. Any ideas is greatly appreciated!

Are you sure they were only four weeks old when you got them?

Holy shizzle sticks.
So that's probably going to be at least a hundred floofers.

Do you think they will all be born within the same week?
If so I'm a road trip to your house.
@ColtHandorf Can meet me there.

That's what I was told. We got them on Aug. 24.
