Hello I have done some research and found a rabbit type that I like. Chinchillas Rabbits. The question is how do I get a pair? I'm in Taunton Massachusetts. any ideas would be great. Thanks Scotty
i know this doesn't help you any, but saw some chinchilla bucks on craigslist here in so. ill, 40.00 each. after seeing their picture, i may have 2 does here. the one is a super mom, had 11 and raised them all, and can't find a runt in the litter.
There are two shows coming up next month in Taunton, MA that I will be attending, on the 7th and then on the 21rst.
Go here and click on MA at the top of the page, it will jump you down to the section for MA shows. The top show in the section is the one on the 7th, and then further down is the one on the 21rst. Nancy Platt is the show secretary and she is very nice, if you email her she will be able to tell you the address and time for the show, most start at 9am.
She may even be able to give you the contact info for a Chin breeder that you can set up to meet at the show...
I take it that your talking about March? I would like to go but it depends on me getting a sunday off. How much do they charge to visit a show to see what its all about? Thanks Scotty
I've never been to a rabbit show where they charged admission. There have been a few that were held in conjunction with a fair, the fair may have had a gate charge, but the rabbit show was free. If you are showing rabbits, there is a charge per rabbit per show(usually $3 around here.) As an example, if I were to go to a double show, and I had 3 rabbits that I wanted to enter, that would cost me $3 per class x 3 rabbits x 2 classes = $18 in entry fees. The sponsoring club(s) may award trophies, ribbons, or some other nifty prizes, but I've never been to a show where they awarded a cash prize, either.
One thing I have found, rabbit people are the talkin'est bunch you'll ever meet. We all go home hoarse from "talking rabbit" all day. (Another breeder suggested it was because nobody else wants to hear it!!)
So at this show in Taunton can I find the american chinchilla rabbit? Also looking for a male meat rabbit mut for the other mut that I have. Im not sure what you call a mixxed breed rabbit ? LOL
