Hello. I currently have 8 rabbits. 5 of those are pet only and fixed, and live in a herd together.
I fell in love with Belgian Hares a little over a year ago. I have been thinking about it since then, and have decided that this spring I think I would like to add one to my pet herd.
We have a good breeder here in VA -- her rabbits are healthy, beautiful, and very sweet. However on her website she states that she doesn't like selling as pets, due to the rare nature of the breed. Not to mention that when looking for an animal, for breeding or pet, it's good to look around and not just at one place before you purchase an animal.
I am struggling to find other breeders within 4 hours of my home. I know I had the same difficulty when I was looking for my tan, and found out through a show that there was a great breeder about 30 minutes away that didn't advertise. When looking online the closest I had found was about 5 hours.
So I am wondering, does anyone breed or know of a breeder who does Belgian Hares? I am in VA, and bi-yearly go South -- making my range states ones surrounding VA (NC, MD, even PA) and states along my southern route (NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, maybe eastern TX) I am looking specifically for a buck, and he will end up being fixed. Thanks!
