Hello from Upstate NY

Just came across this website in my search online for Mini Satin rabbits and was wondering if anyone here could help me. I am a new owner of a mini satin rabbit and would like to know if there are any other breeders in my area that raise this breed. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

I don't know any mini satin breeders, but I live near Syracuse. I think two of my rabbits are mini satins that I bought from Eblings Pet Center, but I this is a conclusion I came to on my own as I was just told they were dwarf bunnies when I bought them. Maybe you could give them a call and see if they could put you in touch with the breeder who sells them their rabbits. Also, I have been watching the website of a local breeder on syracuse-rabbit.com. At one time I was thinking of maybe getting a rabbit from her, but then decided to get one from the SPCA instead. I think if you just talk to one local breeder, even if they breed a different type of rabbit, they probably know other breeders in the area and can put you in touch with someone who might have what you are looking for.

Here's a picture of my bunny Fred who I think is a mini satin:

He's a cutie! I like your cage too, is that something you made yourself? I would attach pics but I don't know how on this forum, not as easy as other's where I can just upload directly from my PC.

Yes, my husband made the hutches for our three rabbits. Got your PM. Glad you found a bunny. Are you planning on breeding them?

Yes I am, as well as show them. The doe I got is really nice looking, small and petite, short ears. I have to do some more research on what the standards are for mini satins but the woman I got her from has been showing rabbits for 8 years now so she comes from a nice background. The buck has the same lines in his background so I'm hoping to get some nice babies from the two.
