Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[ColtHandorf]

I currently have NZ whites……..I was thinking of maybe trying Standard REX……but still doing some research as far as availability…….I can get NZ red and/or standard Rex if I want to travel to Ohio again and I know the dude I worked with on quail and parakeets got some breeders so thats a possibility but I can’t remember what breed……I have considered RK but they don’t separate genders and breeds.

I've never been a huge fan of the popular, commercial, meat rabbits like Californians and New Zealands. It's all we could show in 4-H in the meat portion. I always enjoyed the breeder show with all the different rabbits, Flemish Giant, Netherlands, Lops, Rexes, etc. I do love the d'Argents. You should talk Mr. Muddy into a road trip to Texas. You can do a special segment on your new show on preparing bobcat, pick up some new bunnies, take home some fat-bottomed girls eggs, and see Keeks too.

They are just really big and boring to look at (color wise). I think we had both when I was really little and I was always forced to go out to feed and water them which I hated because there were a bazillion carpenter bees, red wasps, and other buzz boys flying around the building they were on. *shudders*

I raised Californians for 4-H because they are much cuter than NZ in my opinion, but when you have 15 of the little farts and you can't tell any of them apart unless you're looking at an ear tattoo....meh.

My friends that showed Rexes could name them because they could tell them apart. lol

Indeed. I still need the little shirt you found the faker. He was precious in it.

Well HMMPH! Excuse me while I go cuddle my BORING looking rabbit *storms off*

JK I don't know if, given a different set of circumstances, I would have chosen a Californian X over all other options. But Niven stole our hearts since the first moment DH gripped her tight and raised her from Perdition. So to me, she is perfect

You are getting to be as nutty as @EverythingDucks
Bunnies do not need clothes!

Bunnies do not need clothes!

Angeline would eat them

Guinea pigs?

Guinea pigs are a food staple in some cultures. (Sorry Banty.)
