Save the Pals

Oh My Goodness I had forgotten all about this picture !! Itis my Absolute favorite of him .Jen remember me telling you ofthe hot dog pose , this is exactlly whatI mean , they flatten out and squash right inas tight as they can get ., theyalso litterally tremble withexcitement . As you can see he isso snuggled in He couldactually be Part of Tiffanys Skin.

This llittle Guy has captured many heartsand the Judges eye , Mr Shaftoe theJudge just behind Tiffany was the onewho was so much impressed withhis confirmation ,and how he measured upthe the Palomino Standards , Mr Shaftoewas the Judge who Proclaimed him ,Even though smaller thanthe Others,the Perfect Example of Of theBreeds Standards.

Animal Description:



Palominoes are one of the meatiest commercial rabbits, and also one ofthe loveliest house pets a rabbit owner could hope to find!

Palomino Rabbits take quite a while to mature, but adult Palominoes areworth the wait. Not only do they have a higher meat-to-carcass rationthan most commercial meat rabbits, but they also have very gentlepersonalities. They love to cuddle, but because they are so large,should not be picked up and held too often. Because of their largesize, bucks do well when kept in two foot by two foot cages; does dobest in two feet by thirty inch cages, which can fit a nesting boxshould you plan to breed your Palomino Rabbit! Sweet, friendly PalominoRabbits are a great addition to any pet lover's home!

Palomino Rabbit bucks grow to about eight pounds, and females grow toaround ten pounds. Their shoulders and hips are both meaty and wellrounded, and their bodies are of medium length. Palomino Rabbits aregracefully curvaceous, arching up from the nape of their neck to a highpoint at the loins, from which the arch drops downward toward therabbit's tail. Palomino Rabbits are available in Lynx and Goldencolors. In the Golden color, the ideal is considered to be a wheatcolor, though all shades of Gold are acceptable. The topcoat should bebright gold, and the undercolor should be a lighter shade like cream orpure white. Lynx Palomino Rabbits have undercoats that are cream orwhite, also. The topcoat of these rabbits is pearl gray, and there isan intermediary color of beige-orange. In show, the type or body shapeof the Palomino Rabbit is more important that the color.

A two foot by two foot cage?:shock: Could they even lie down in that?

 

[Nicky Snow]

cool thanks Gypsy. i'm sooo looking forward to having a pal. (do i really have to wait till spring?)

 

LOL Nicky yaa Imnot even sure If hte Doe bred forme even took , she just looks a bitplump but not where she should be lol

NaturesTee I agree mine are in 4 x 4cages right now , oh and did I mentionthose are the babies? . If you read the disclaimerat the bottom of the site it clearly states thatnot much is actuallyknown about thebreeding of them , so I will have to assume they donthave very much idea as to what size acage they really need .

 

[Nicky Snow]

well i'll just have to keep my fingers (and toes)crossed.

 

[naturestee]

Thanks, Gypsy, that makes more sense.I don't even think my dutch could stretch out in a 2x2 footspace. Aside from that, it was an interesting article.

I'll have to tell Tank how nice her new home will be when I get her onSunday. I don't have a Tank-sized cage, so she will have tostay in the Ladies' old cage, which is the standard meat breeder cageused around here. I haven't measured it, but at least she'llfit.:? Oh well, it's an excuse to let her out to play a lot!

 

Naturetee , usually standardmeat cages are nearly 4 x4 , soshe should have plenty of room. though she is a big girlIm sure the wonderfulltreatment Rose and you will shower on her willgo staight to her head , Probably willthink she is in the flea baghotel when she gets here , LOL , Palominolove excercize , the more the better for them , ithelps build up suscles and makes thebody condition up more , just toss a pice of breadand she will run circles before settlingdown to it lol . The days here just seem to bedragging on and on waiting for her to gethere , i just cant wait .

You must have pampered meat rabbits over there. My guesstimate is 24 x 36.:? But it's only temporary.

 

a guestamated 2 ft by 3 ft will befine for her , Just remember Rose'swords bribery goes the extra miles with her lol. Thankaa so much.
