I’m not gonna hold your hand when I say these things because this post would be even longer than it already is. I apologize in advance!

It is not my responsibility to make sure you have every single thing you need in order to care for your rabbit. I will be happy to discuss with you what I do or use, but I can’t possibly see through my phone to see what you have or need. I have an Amazon list posted with all of my favorites but I am not a fan of any sort of xpen setup people do not clean them daily like they should and it just ends with the rabbit living in filth, so my list is catered toward a cage setup. Xpens can also easily be knocked over crushing your rabbit or breached by predators and yes your dog is a predator!

You need to have everything set up BEFORE you come get your rabbit. There’s no reason we should be discussing what you need at pickup when you have likely had weeks to have this done. Your rabbit needs a safe space and food and water as soon as you get it home, not in a day or two when you finally get everything set up or your online orders come in. Please don’t make me have to become one of those people who requires photos of your setup before you pick up your rabbit. I will simply stop selling pets before I make it such a tedious process.

I don’t mentor new breeders. I barely feel like I know what I’m doing myself most days and I simply do not have adequate time to be there to answer all of your questions every day. Sure I am happy to help with random questions or if you’re asking about my rabbits specifically. I just don’t have time to truly mentor about pairings, color genetics, care, setups, etc. And I will not critique another breeder’s rabbit if you ask me about pairing it to one of mine because even when I say it completely professionally and identify faults in my own rabbit too it is labeled as s**t talking. I will be the first to tell you the weaknesses of anything I am selling you, but I’m not going to be accused of hating on any one else’s animal.

If you repeatedly waste my time or other’s I will leave you on read or simply archive your message and never open it. Breeders talk we all know who is a chronic time waster only looking for $20 rabbits but they want all of the advice for free. I won’t entertain it I am running a literal mini farm with three boys 5 years old and under with me full time I couldn’t even if I wanted to.

I hope you all have a beautiful day and understand where I’m coming from 🩷

A Public F*ck You to Manna Pro:

As I watch what is the only tricolor who, as far anyone can remember, placed top ten at an ARBA National Convention die painfully, I would like to urge everyone who feeds their rabbits Manna Pro or any affiliate feed to stop immediately. This is a company who has not only been sued in the past for lying about including dangerous ingredients in their formula, but has a VERY long history of ignoring contaminants and using the excuse that their feed is milled in facilities that mill feeds for other species. Their non-existent quality control has long since been an issue and I have known many breeders over the years who have lost full herds to this brand. We live in a state where rabbit feed brands are very limited and I switched to Manna Pro this year as it is the ONLY feed available in my area with 18% protein, which is beneficial to moms and juniors and after the issues we had trying to work with the Show Hutch feed, the higher protein was very necessary. While I am normally very vigilant in checking my bags as I open and use them, in a day when I was not physically doing well myself and therefore unable to do my barn chores that day, they were fed whatever was in a newly opened bag from the new pallet we had ordered. I did not see this until the next day so for a full day my rabbits were exposed to at least 7 different kinds of feed that were NOT rabbit feed mixed into the bags of what was supposed to be only rabbit feed.
I have managed to drag poor Fiji through this for this long, but I am almost certain he will not survive the night at this point despite every possible intervention. We have so far lost 5 rabbits to this feed issue (Fiji will be #6 very soon) and continue to have several with diarrhea or stasis symptoms which we are treating aggressively. And I have one with just horrible bladder sludge, but I think that was from the hard switch to a new feed because I don't think she ate the contaminated feed.
I'm so deeply hurt by this and I am not even sure that I will continue breeding after this. I am trying to save who I can and I have been so caught up in that that I haven't even had the opportunity to process this fully, but with the loss of Radon today (who was my very demanding BEW junior doe who always made sure she got attention when I walked in the barn, even if that meant yanking on my shirt as I walked by, or jumping out of her cage, because she could open the door, and following me around yanking on my pants until I picked her up), and the impending loss of Fiji, I am just broken and ready to give up.

So F*ck you, Manna Pro. F*ck you for not caring enough about these little lives to even do basic batch checks. F*ck you for not learning from your previous lawsuits. F*ck you for your complete lack of accountability and allowing the ratio of contaminants to feed to shift completely in a whole batch and no one noticed. F*ck you for not even doing the bare minimum to protect the lives you are entrusted with.
I would have thought the lawsuits would have been enough for them to start taking this seriously, but I was clearly wrong.

If you feed Manna Pro, please please switch feeds. I am such an unbelievably careful person with my rabbits and I know that this could have been much worse and we could have lost everyone, but that doesn't make any of this ok. These animals are loved and they matter and if your animals matter to you please don't feed Manna Pro. I would not wish this on anyone.

🔥 This is the SNOWSHOE HARE, the Rabbit With Built-In Winter Boots! ❄️🐇

Those oversized, furry feet work like snowshoes, spreading its weight so it can run on deep snow without sinking.

In winter, its fur turns completely white, helping it disappear almost perfectly into snowy landscapes.

When seasons change, the coat slowly shifts back to brown, matching the forest floor again.

✨ Fun fact: Snowshoe hares don’t change color because of temperature, they change because of daylight length.
