Got a new male mini rex for breeding ;)

yeah, i know, but i figured if anything sense my friend was giving me the 5 lb rabbits with hutches and stuff it was a good place to start...

but i plan on getting a couple meat rabbits =] prolly the californians or something...

Cute bunny!

I used to show my rabbit, he's a purebred himalayan and had a very successful lineage. He did quite well at the shows, but neutered rabbits make MUCH better pets....so is now fixed and enjoying a good life. He is basically like a cat, spends all day outside his cage and is completely litter-trained. I looove bunnies, they are a real unique creature if you take the time to get to know them :cool:

Oh i love my bunny, he has such a personality.
unlike the rats that i would just kill off when i was done breeding, i deff will keep and fix this little guy...
and i'd be lucky if my mom lets him move out with me, he is her favorite of all the animals i have ever had lol

Rabbits who show also dont typically live very happy lives, its very stressful for them and honestly i dont know that many people can show rabbits who dont have pedigrees.

Im sorry but I disagree with that 100% I happen to show rabbits (for 4h) and my freinds show rabbits (for real) and I have to say rabbits who show live better than pet rabbits they are fed very well they arent overweight they are kept brushed and clean. the rabbits are not stressed I dont really see how they could be...........they are handled so they will be freindly. they are taken to teach 4h kids about rabbits and get a whole lot of love there........And the people who show them have a huge passion for the care of them just look at a rabbit breeders website and see how healthy the rabbits are

i was going to have to do the same thing for my albino burmese i had a pure black mini rex he was so amazing soft but they passed a law saying burms were illegal and i couldnt be grandfathered in because i had no proof i bought her before the law passed so i sold her and my bunny died but i still have my female calico striped mini rex :) and also i groom my bunnies and keep them clean i hate yellow feet :( and mine is just a pet and id have to say she was shy when i bought her from a breeder but she is sooo playful now i love her
