Also, she does have a DQ that the judges didn't catch when I showed her. White nails.. and from what I read, that could be from the VM gene, so she is most likely a carrier.

I ended up deciding to sell her.. It was a really tough choice.. ;_; but I am going to be getting to showing and I also have been given the opportunity to buy some rabbits with awesome backgrounds.

oh thank you! That's good.. I do give her a lot of water, I was just worried about the hay situation. Thanks so much!

I noticed a bit of wool in my angora's poop. I had been giving her papaya chunks but ran out recently. Her hay rack keeps getting knocked over, so I'm not completely sure how much hay she is getting. Any ideas for hay rack besides the plastic lixit ones? I'm also feeding her 16% protein feed...

Thanks OakRidge! and you're also right fuzz16... breeding will always have it's culls. I'll just make sure to have variety and make sure people know about the VM gene. While Betty had said she wouldn't touch it, Casey Jones, another big breeder here, had said it wasn't that big of a deal. I...

Okay, so as beautiful as BEWs are, VMs are not showable, and here in California, it seems like they're looked down upon with breeders. Betty Chu told me she would touch the VM gene with a 10 foot pole! haha So anyway, I was wondering, is there a way to breed the VM gene out? Or does it linger...

duh! that's a great idea too! Thanks!

Oh okay! There is someone local selling one for really cheap, but yeah, since I only have one rabbit right now anyway. I would much rather have a multi-use folding table. Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting this grooming table, but do I have to use a special breeding table? The only reason I'm asking is because, yes I will be showing, but I'm not sure how long I'll be showing really. I'm moving back to El Paso, TX in a few months (I'm just living in Cali because my...

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I used to buy sugar gliders for almost about that much, so if I really become committed to showing angoras, I'll ask my husband for one of Betty Chu's haha

We're both going to the same show next Saturday, and he told me a couple good breeders' names, one of which is Betty Chu haha so I'm going to see what's there.

Well, I went a got my angora a new cage, and I asked if the guy could sex "him" because I had my doubts and "he" was just so fluffy. He confirmed that "he's" a she and that she's also a blue tort. He also tattooed her, so she's all ready for show and answered my questions and such. The guy...

I've got an English angora. He's lilac tort. I'm hoping to get more. >^.^

Yeah, she's not really my first choice doe. Just having a hard time finding any angoras close right now. I'll probably wait and see what I see at the show, since it's not too far away and there will for sure be some breeders I can talk to there. and yes, I know it's my choice, but that's why I...

Ack you're right.. The chances of BEW coming from these two are pretty slim though, so I could just cull them, but I'll think about it more.
