Some new additions to the rabbitry! We have found that lately with our busier schedules that we are enjoying the extra-large breed rabbits. They get super friendly without much handling at all; they are just so naturally sweet 🥰
We are starting out with some cheaper non-pedigreed stock so we don't break the bank and can begin to learn more about proper confirmation and coloring on the Flemish Giants.
Larry and Joan 🧡
These two are going to be a breeding pair as their colors are compatible. They are only about 3 months old now, so need some more growing time before we will breed.
Walter 🩶
This boy we got to be a proper colored boyfriend for Eve. She is a light gray, and he is a darker gray color called steel. We are not convinced Walter is a pure Flemish, he seems too small and his ears don't seem quite as long as they should be, likely mixed with New Zealand or another meat breed. We are hoping to breed him with Eve soon for some more big babies :)
Long term idea with the Flemish Giants is to potentially have unpedigreed stock for a while to build back up our bunny fund from baby sales. Then, likely once our niece is older and showing more competitively in 4-H, we could invest in show quality pedigreed stock. But who knows, livestock plans never seem to go how we are thinking🤦🏽♀️😂
