Questions About Rabbits

[baymule]

Nyboy, if you are going to bite the bullet and get an animal, get a few chickens. At least you would have eggs. You said something awhile back about raccoons getting your chickens, gonna have to beef up your coop. BTW, they would get your rabbits too.

I know you are not going to raise baby bunnies and eat them, so don't get a pair of rabbits or you will be overwhelmed shortly.

I wait until DH has told me how good supper was, then I tell him "Stella made some good chicken and dumplings, didn't she?"

Your question about them living through winter comfortably would be yes. Rabbits handle cold a lot better than heat. They just need a good hutch, something to keep them dry and out of the wind.
Also, I don't know of the significant differences between male and female temperaments, but like a lot of other creatures the male is probably a little more laid back. What I do know is not to have two males together or in real close proximity, because they spray urine all over the place. Live and learn experience speaking.

I sent a email to them they have a show quality doe for $40. Why do they have to be so cute.

Go for it Nyboy. $40 is nothing. Is that a good price?

So what does "show quality" mean? In high costs of living area's $40 is probably cheap. Here, it had better have WON State Fair! If you want a pet, go to rabbit show. You can probably buy the #3 rabbit for $10. Winner for $40. Plus you can see quality of his lines and not just one exhibit.
