Flemish Giants

[Czech's_chicks]

My local source passed away and I have found another one not too far...but my question is about pricing...when I originally bought a while ago, I got two papered does for $150. I also got three brothers for $100. They were adults and ready to breed. This new source is selling 8 week old for $100-120. Is that right? I thought that seemed a little steep, but unless I find another source, I either suck it up or give up.

Yeah that does seem steep. Although I know Flemish can be costly I didn't know THAT costly. A lot of people around here have them but I haven't seen any $100+ ones yet.

For CA, yes that is right. Most FG does go for $100-150.​

I just bought a 10 wk old doe for $50 with her papers. I have 3 FG breeders (that are close) of show quality rabbits and she was only charging $50 whereas the other 2 were 100 - 120.00. Evidently, I got lucky and the other 2 prices are what they are generally charging. I wanted pet quality and maybe that's what mine is but she has her papers and she said I could show her if I wanted. The other breeders were going to charge me 100 for pet quality.

For this part of the country, yes. There is a rabbit show in San Bernardino on 8/6 at the Orange Show Fairgrounds and it is free to get in. I know there are usually at least a few FG breeders there and that is not too far from Vista... May be worth the drive...​

email the director CLOSEST to you, as they are in charge of a district. Ask them if they know any reputable breeders. If you're paying 150+ a rabbit it better be registered with red/white/blue registration from solid SHOW STOCK (not just pedigreed).
