Doe Buck

I found a pair of year old American Chinchilla for 50 bucks. They are pedigreed and the pictures are stunning. I am picking them up on friday! :weee:bunny

um, what? Try some punctuation!

Good catch. I just asked her why that was and also asked for weights of the dams from the pedigrees.

They are fully pedigreed, so I assume she has records of the dams. She said they have been bred to each other once last year. The does are 2 and the buck is 3 y/o.

They are 2 years old (does) and 3 years old (buck). She said they have been selected for meat, and she gets carcasses dressed at 3-4lbs at 10-12 weeks. Is this a reasonable thing to claim? She is asking 200 for the trio. Is that reasonable for these kind of rabbits? Buck Doe #1 Doe #2...

So I have been doing a bit of research and think I may want to focus on a Heritage breed that needs help. I found someone who has pedigreed American Chinchilla rabbits from pretty reputable local lines. They are proven. The two does are related, but unrelated to the buck. They are 2 years old...

I would maybe add the approximate ages? Also in the second ad, maybe switch around the last 2 sentences, ending on "Perfect for 4H!"? That way you end on a positive. :) Other than that, they are nice and succint.

Hey neighbor!

Very helpful. Bookmarked the page. Thanks!

I truly appreciate everybody chiming in. I decided to pass on these. No reason to drive super far and pay top dollar if they are questionable. Thanks again.

He says he has all pedigrees available. @Ffagirl22 @rachels.haven Do these really not look like NZs? The red one in the pic I posted seems like a littler version of the one you posted. Even has the white toe tips and eye rings. I am not disagreeing, just struggling to see the difference...

I think I am going to email him and basically say "look I am very interested but between the pandemic and the distance I am not going to make the trip unless I know I want to buy. When you have the time please give me via email all information you could possibly think to include about these...

The doe is ready to breed and the buck "not far behind." He said all his available rabbits are under 6 months old. I haven't requested a pedigree yet, but he has invited me to come check out the parent stock and his rabbitry whenever I want. He lives an hour and a half away though so not exactly...

They will be for meat first, selling extras second, and showing probably never. Good to know people have paid that much for a show quality buck though of this breed. Thanks!

Thank you @Fishychix & @TaylorBug for the quick responses. Good information.

Hey guys, I have been researching rabbit breeders in my area and am about ready to make a deal with a small rabbit farm. West Meadow rabbitry, they breed "quality New Zealands for show and meat." He is asking 100$ for two rabbits from his "best meat production line." If I get three the 2nd doe...

Probably from the age of 3 weeksish when they leave the brooder until 7weeksish on slaughter day. I enclose the tractor within an electric fence.
