I really want a velveteen lop. I am in love with those overly long floppy ears!! Thought about trying to find a buck to breed to Mocha. I don't know for sure, but I am imagining these fluffy, long eared buns that melt my heart

Don't exactly want a Vlop to be fluffy but definitely long ears! If you decide you need one can hook you up. Hopefully lots of litters this Spring!

The buns love the new bedding. I love the bunny binkies and ear flips. I changed to shavings plus and they like it way better than the just paper pulp bedding. This change was a mix between the shredded paper that was previously used at complete change yesterday. Next will be spot cleaning for a while

So... more baby bunnies soon? :)

I've been trying to get some meat rabbits, but it's impossible to find people breeding the ones we want. :eek: How did you find yours? Do you have any advice? I'm at a loss here. :hide

I'm in Michigan. I checked out the ARBA, and then a website called rabbitbreeders.us.
Sorry, but... What is the NRBA? I'm new to this rabbit nonsense. :hide
There's a lot of rabbits in our fair from 4-H, but I don't know how to get in touch with any of them.

My bad, I was thinking National rather than American.
It has been over 20 years since I was a member.
If you were closer, could help you out with some buns. Plan to make a trip to Indianapolis any time? Lol

@Calendula,
You might try going online and looking at contacts through the Michigan State RBA.
There are generally email addresses and even phone #'s that could still be current to get some leads going in the breeds you might like to acquire.

Haha. With it finally snowing? Definitely not planning on any road trips!

I think we're just going to start out with some mutts from a feed store or off of Craigslist. Then, if we actually want to keep on raising them for meat, we can get the breed we actually want.
