New Zealand Rabbits

[Louise's Country Closet]

Not only do we have chickens but we have New Zealand rabbits! These make excellent meat rabbits and amazing pets - I've never met such a friendly breed before.

Our stock gets pretty big, here is an example of one of our full grown bucks:

We have four litters that will be ready this weekend (4/28/2012) with another two litters available the week after. I have yet to sex them but there will be plenty of bucks and does that need to go.

All rabbits are $15.00 each. A breeding pair will be $25.00 and a trio (one buck and two does) $40.00. We will not ship - pickup only.

Please feel free to PM for more information. We're located in northern Minnesota.

Here are a few rabbits that will be available:

I've heard of the colored New Zealand but had never seen them. Beautiful rabbits indeed. My father and I had a commercial rabbitry many years ago and our primary breed was the New Zealand White. We had some Californians also and experimented with a select few others along the way. The New Zealand was the workhorse rabbit time and time again. No other breed could/would produce as consistently as the New Zealand. When I get rabbits again it will be the New Zealand. Great moms, big litters and will RAISE them as well. Our lines were milk cows with fur. We had one family line that could consistently wean 10 bunnies. Best of luck to you with your rabbit adventures.

Thank you! This will be our 5 years going with the rabbits. We started out with Rex because it was all we could find but switched to NZ's because they were easier to handle and had large litters! All of mine have been good momma's so far (knock on wood) and we haven't had any issues.

No idea where our colors come from.. we started out with a white doe and a black buck We get mostly harlequin colors from them, I love it!
