my rabbit's breed

[MyBabyBunnies]

I think Oxbow is probably one of the best brands you buy. I can't get it here but wish I could!

That's good to hear! Glad that I'm feeding my rabbits right!

Forgot to add...We don't eat rabbit meat here...

Someone must be eating it -- Singapore is a major importer of rabbitmeat. Since there is no export market in Singapore, it isdoubtful that you'd see many commercial facilities there.

We do?? I have never seen a restaurant selling rabbit meat.
My guess is that if they are imported live, that they arebeing used as lab rabbits...(We are developing very rapidly in thebiomedical sector....)
We eat croc, deer, beef, pork, chicken, ostrich etc...but rabbit meat......? Never seen it being served before....

From what i know, there is one rabbit "farm" It's more like a rabbit mill. However, the rabbits are all sold as pets.

Even rabbit fur is not all that common here...It's too hot to be wearing fur...

Might I kindly add that this hasbeen one interesting post! My goodness! I'velearned lots. Seriously, this has been intersting!

And BTW...just have to add my two cents, that bunny is definately alarge part Dutch...maybe not all Dutch, but I think y'all areright! Well, I KNOW y'all are right

Dear all,

I am also from Singapore and would like to do some explaining.

I've noticed that Riyon constantly uses local slang like "shiok" and"alamak." I'll like to say that "shiok" actually means comfortable and"alamak" is actually OMG. "Lah" has no meaning.

Singapore used to be a British Colony. We were also a major tradingdestination. I believe that the local rabbits came about probablythrough the introduction of dutch rabbits in Singapore by either thebritish,americans or possibly spanish? Through inter breeding or shouldi term it as "messy breeding," the local rabbit was formed. My take isthat if a name really is needed, to describe it as a rabbit mutt.

Unfortunately, we do not have any rabbit shows here in singapore. Therabbit shows here are all for house bunnies and are mainly classifiedas "fattest bunny" whatsoever.

Sorry for bringing this topic up again...just felt so embarassed over the fuss that he/she kicked up.

sorry guys from other countries from using those slangs, couldn't help it!

and yes sharlene, i am really embarassed over this matter too.

Hi Christy,

I have seen Singapore listed as a market for rabbit meat imports on a number of sites including this one:

http://agspsrv34.agric.wa.gov.au/agency/pubns/miscpubs/Mp9323/mp9323a.htm

The US produces over 35 thousand tons of rabbit meat per year, yet Inever see it for sale here either -- that doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Look, I came in here to verify that the 'local rabbits' in singapore isnot a dutch. From the previous posts, I can see that Riyon is trying totell all of you that her rabbit isn't a dutch breed but all of you turna deaf ear and the replies ain't friendly in any way. Most of you keepinsisting its a dutch breed. Which part of my first posthavea 'derogitory type attitude'
For your information,that is just your thinking, about mebeing arace motivated person. A wrong thinking I should say.

The link showed a table withthe estimated amount of rabbitmeat imported. Another site listed a similar chart thatincluded Singapore and stated it was a list of the major meat importingcountries.

I've seen the table on the link. What puzzled me is, Singapore importsthe lowest amount of rabbit meat (20 tonnes)among all thecoutries in the table and you're saying Singapore is a major importer.if that is the case, how about those countries which import more tonnesof rabbit meat than Singapore?
