Finding rabbits

[hillrise]

For the yellow Dutch, are you referring to gold? Right now the only recognized varieties of Dutch (that I'm aware of) are black, blue, chocolate, gray, steel, and tortoise, and there's a COD for chinchilla. It's really hard to find quality rabbits in unrecognized colors that a breeder will want to sell with a pedigree, unless it's under COD, and then they'll want to be sure that you're very serious about the breed.

Giant Angoras might be kind of hard to get a hold of, too...

this is what i want i dont know what it's called but i found it by puttin yellow dutch rabbit

 

[hillrise]

Looks like a red. Also not accepted, but I agree they are one of the prettier colors.

 

[bunnychild]

i still lik that color best even if not accepted

Not to be judgemental but maybe you should listen to everyone else and just start of with 2 or 3 breeds then work out if you can handle them and as time moves foward you can add more! Don't forget all the mess they will be making.
If you're keen on having so many though I'd recommend posting a picture of your cages so that the experienced breeders here can judge if they're suited for breeding!
Good Luck!

alright i will do that as soon as my camera is charged

 

[bunnychild]

alright i will narrow down to the 3 breeds i have now AND the red/yellow/gold dutch not really sure what it is called

 

[Ashleighh]

Good job! It will a lot easier to maintain 3 breeds! And awesome! Can't wait to see the pictures n_n

 

[bunnychild]

found out yellow dutches are a BRC color not an ARBA color. I still want it though

Are you sure you will be able to find homes for all the extra babies?

 

[bunnychild]

what do you mean?

 

[bunnychild]

also I won't breed the yellow dutch alot because it is not a show color in America and it would be hard to find loads of people to buy the offspring

 

[MiniLopHop]

I'm not trying to be mean, I just want to make sure this is a well thought out plan.

Different areas of the country are differnt, but around here there are a lot more rabbits than rabbit homes. The shelters and rescue groups are constantly filled. From what I understand with other breeders it can be a challenge to find good pet homes for the animals that they don't need for their breeding program.

I would hate for you to be overly ambitous at first, then find out there is a much smaller market for pet homes than you thought. Then you would be stuck in a pickle trying to provide for all the babies. You are also at the mercy of your parent's wishes. I would hate for you to start breeding and have them change their mind because you can't find homes fast enough for the babies.

I would suggest you line up homes before starting to breed, at least a few so you know there is a need. This is what my friend that breed does. She has a waiting list so she knows that the babies will have homes by the time they are ready.

Just something to think about.

nevermind i got one to work

 

[bunnychild]

i took these pictures while the rabbits were inside, so you won't see a rabbit. the water bottles are off of the cages to be cleaned.

this is the back you can see the wood litter box and the tin roof

this is the front you can see the feeder, the litter box, and the bowl of hay (temporary)

this is a hay ball i will be getting more of these

 

[bunnychild]

Is it necessary to have two identical threads? It's a bit confusing, just saying.
