Minis are not registered through ADGA so if you want to show you should consider this. There are MDGA shows, but only a few. They are doing more virtual shows now. Many just don't like the bio-security risks.

our kids would show them through at our local 4-H fair, according to the information they don't need to be registered animals.

So yesterday she had her horns removed...seemed like they grew over the weekend! She did just fine, the vet came to our place. Here are a couple pictures-they are a little blurry- she wasn't very cooperative! Melanie-12-9-2014.jpg Melanie(2)-12-9-2014.jpg

she should figure out the water bowl thing for herself. if you are worried that she isn't getting enough fluids just give her a water bottle. no milk, just water but you really shouldn't have to. she will drink when she is thirsty. so glad her dehorning went well

friend for ours. Right now they are in separate pens to let them get use to each other. Melanie isn't so sure yet....he looks different then the rabbits who use to be her neighbors!

Keeping our fingers crossed, we put down a deposit/reservation for a doeling- due end of March 2015. So we are working on planning another fenced in area(bigger space)....what type of fence material would work best and what height? - rolls vs panels? and hard wire/woven wire?
