^ my two litters currently. The younger litter’s mommy was bred the day the older ones were kindled

Hi @Roseatebunny ! I love seeing brokens and harlies born especially when you don’t realize the cross will produce them! I have a self black doe, a self broken blue buck, and a lilac agouti doe. My buck and the black doe produced a litter of 4- 2 mini daddies, 1 dark gray and one tricolor! My...

Mine arent near as useful as theyre supposed to be 😂 I pet mine when I feed and most of them are tame enough to handle when they need to be. My mini Rexes are big babies and my Cals are tolerant at best. But I know of a method of holding where you pinch the base of the ears; this pinches a nerve...

I know a guy who drives rabbits half a hour to the riverbank and breeds them in the back of his truck if he has a pair that absolutely will not breed. So I guess it works 🤣

I've heard that Charolais are crazyyy from a local farmer that had 1 bad one but we've been raising Char-Angus/beef crosses for a few years with skittish (not pets) but fairly well behaved heffers producing pretty good beef.

I’ve had a few litters of kits with “nest box chill” that grows out within a month or 2. Interestingly, I once bought a purebred Cali doe who supposedly had nest box chill who never grew out of her gray coat! I never got the chance to breed her to see if her gray would pass on or if it was just...

That's exciting!! And (not to steal your thunder haha) but I found out that my senior mentor just bought out a neighbor's American Chins and he may have some for me to show in the fair this year!

Understandable. I'm honestly just asking around at this point but I feel like there is a breeder who has tried this or there might be a niche for mini cals for the show table if there was a standard or for pets/companions.

Another question @Larsen Poultry Ranch do you think then you could create a mini Californian with Cal type but smaller? Out of another dwarf breed possibly since rexes have a particular type/fur type and are quite different?

I know Rex/mini Rex has a himi variety. I just would like to experimentally breed Cals and Rexes. Just curious honestly... I only have 1.5 more years of high school before I go off to college so it's not like it will go anywhere if I try it now.

For anyone also curious- I've done some research that I would like to document here-- Rex gene is "r" Satin gene is "s" Angora/wool gene is "l" Standard genotype is RRSSLL (or RrSsLl) Any special type will have BOTH recessive (Rex=rr, for example)

I know that Rex can display Himi but I have all my cages somewhat full of my self Rexes which I'm focusing on and Cals which I have a regular buyer for. I'm just curious as to whether I *could* experimentally breed the himi back into Rex/Rex into a standard bred himi.

Curious, and I doubt I will go anywhere with this BUT... I have 5 self/self broken mini rexes(2 bucks, 3 does) and 4 Cals (1 buck and 3 does) and I was wondering if I could experimentally breed a Cal to a Mini Rex to gradually work toward Himalayan colored standard Rexes? Does anyone think...

Update, I have a black buck coming in a week or 2 for my Sadie doe and have been contacting several breeders about some more does. If I can't get does for Dino I will have to get rid of him, although I would hate to.

It's honestly up to you. I would buy Dutch or a fancy breed at that much, but I bought all of my Cals from a neighbor for no more than $25/head. They do look like really nice animals. But don't base it on my opinion only

I've seen that website before! I have done some research but I wanted some others' opinions before I got right into it. Thanks!!

Should they be bred to a similar based color? I have the lynx which is a tan based color and the gray buck. I only plan to sell these for pets, no pedigrees, and show come good ones at my county fair.

Hey yall, asking for a few tips here if anyone can give me some. I have an older Lynx colored Rex doe (not perfect conformation but she was a pet gifted several years ago), a young broken black doe and a young broken blue buck. I plan to use the 2 younger ones at least to start breeding pet...

Hey all! I’ve been raising rabbits for my fair stock for a few years and this spring I really got into raising for meat. One problem I’m running into is that I’m having trouble advertising and getting people to buy from me. Does anyone have any recommendations? **I have heard that Facebook is...

I'm in southern Indiana. I only raise for 4H and my own freezer right now but the guy that I get my stock from, as well as others I know, have had a higher demand for meat and breeding stock. I think people are getting worried about meat supply and opening their eyes to the option of rabbit as...
