You will have a very long and expensive road ahead by starting with such poor quality stock... Go out and buy the best buck you can afford....

Honestly? I would sell them all and start over. There are so many beautiful quality mini lops out there. Mini Lops are a great breed, and have wonderful people promoting the breed. I just hate to see people start with pet quality animals, and then get discouraged and give up because they...

I take my nest boxes in at night. I bring my babies back to mom in the morning, and if it's warm enough, let mom keep them through the day, then take them back when it gets dark at night... Which around here is about 5 pm. Does will want to nurse as soon as the box is put back in with them...

My impression is that these girls are very long over all... Long in the shoulders, long in body, and have a very low headset, possibly due to a dip in the shoulders, or shoulder length. I personally am not too impressed with either doe. Even for those colors, I have seen and produced in the...

There are some things from these pictures that would cause me to cull them. They all have very narrow heads... Very Very narrow heads.... The pointed white is martinized. This is a genetic nightmare and should never be bred. The broken black is hollow enough to cause his hips to stick...

Yes, they are fellow Mini Lop Breeders..... It still irks me...

Yeah, it gets me that these poor animals were treated poorly just to make a quick buck... I agree too, that communication is key... I would not have called the breeder, had the transporters answered their phones... I was told after the fact that they would hear their phone ring, and just...

I still NEVER got any confirmation that they had all 3 rabbits until I was there to pick them up. Then, my confirmation was me, checking each and every ear number as I put them into my carrier. I got royally chewed because I had contacted the breeder, only after calling both the...

That's just it.... I did ALL that... They had spots reserved (and paid for well in advance), they had ear numbers, they had ALL contact info for both the breeder I bought them from and I. (Including addresses.... So, that's phone number, e mail addy, and physical addy...) I did everything...

That's just it... I had transported with these people before, and have had good experiences with them, or were right there to make sure my rabbits got into the truck.... Nuts to say, I am VERY upset by the whole thing and will NEVER be using their transport service again....

Anyone else having issues with transport from ARBA Convention??? I have been very understanding, and normally wouldn't think anything of it, but I received an e mail that had the number of animals for me off by 1. I was told that this was a typo.... However, being that I was never even...

That is a very good solution. :)

I am confused.... What do you mean by what is it like to have a registered rabbitry and all that?? It isn't much different than what you have now... It's an area that you have dedicated to just your rabbits.... It's a hobby... It's something you do in your spare time... Usually... LOL...

Hollands are nice and all... However, they can be very hyper. They are also dwarfs, being so, they are harder to breed and have more issues kindling. Mini Lops are 4.08 to 6.08lb rabbits. They are usually mellow, and are easily bred. The does are the best mothers I have ever had the pleasure...
