Thanks guys! 
Ugh! Now I want a Silver Fox breeding pair....thanks to Rolls and RTG! I've thought about getting a pair of meat rabbits for a while now but didn't really know what kind I wanted and ever since I saw Rolls Silver Fox bunnies I've been wanting some of those suckers! I have a weird fetish with grey critters (got a blue/grey cow, two blue heelers and a grey mountain fiest, lavender orp chickens, blue slate turkeys, grey ducks....and I also had a grey horse) and I really like to look of the Silver Fox. So, now I'm sitting here looking up SF breeders near me....which is pretty difficult when I live in the middle of nowhere! That's the only bad thing I have to say about where I live. 
I had rabbits when I was younger, but honestly I don't really remember them. My grandfather helped me take care of them (he sure did feed my critter addiction.....TOO MUCH! ). Anywho.....I WANT ME SOME SF BUNNIES!

I have my name on reserve with a gentlemen outside of Richmond. We have been trying for over a year to get a pair. If I go to WI, I will try and see if Roll has any available at the time and bring them back with me. And if she doesn't have any there are more breeders out that way, so I should beable to find someone on our trip. Good luck on your search.neener92 said:Thanks guys!

I tried to get rabbits from Whitmore farms, but after being put on a waiting list for several months, he called me up one day and said the rabbits are ready to be picked up, and wanted them picked up by that weekend, needless to say with a 5 hour drive each way, I wasn't prepared to stop everything I was doing that weekend and make the drive. I asked if he could wait a weekend and he said that he couldn't, so he sold them to the next person on his list.
You need to make sure that who ever you go to have the silver fox with as much silvering in them as possible, and they don't have white feet.

I found a breeder in York, PA last night who is planning oh being around Martinsburg, WV this weekend (closest I can find), but I'm not sure if I can make it out that way this weekend! I think they have bucks available. That is Silver Valley farm who is going to be in Martingsburg.
20 I might have found a breeder in Va! They have a black silver fox litter ready 10/21, I found them on craigslist with an ad they had mixed silver fox babies....so I emailed and asked if they had just silver fox and they do, I asked about pedigree. Waiting for an email back!

I contacted that breeder, never got a response. I found a breeder in VA about 3 hours from me who is willing to meet me with a SF buck. This breeder also informed me she may have some unrelated does in Dec. Another breeder will have some ready 10/21.
Today I tore apart an old doghouse that's roof was falling apart and the floor was all but out of it (used it for pot belly pigs), and the walls need reinforced. I'm going to put half the floor back in I think and make the other half wire so the droppings fall out. I'm not too sure how I'm going to do it though, I also want to put another level in it to make it a little more roomy (it's a pretty large doghouse). I'm thinking I'll need to add a little "run" part to the outside of the cage for the rabbit to get some light, I don't think just one hole on the front of the doghouse would be enough light, it's also going to be in a pretty shady place.
Some of my relatives drive me NUTS! So, my aunt and uncle came in from Delaware (they come about once a month)....my dad's brother came up to see them and brought is wife and kids (they just about drive everyone off the mountain!). Anyway, I have the new puppy and they are all playing with him (they are the type that will tell you they want a puppy and you save it for them and then they wait til it gets bigger and then they don't want it....STUPID!). As we were out there my guard dog 'Bear' comes down to visit so I let him visit a little then I sent him back up cause I don't want him to start thinking he can stay away from the sheep all the time. So, my dad's brother says to his wife "don't you want to take that puppy home" she says "No, I want the poor black (Bear) dog that gets neglected and has to stay with the sheep".....seriously! #1 he was born in and raise around those sheep... #2 he is not neglected, but he doesn't get as much attention as the other dogs... #3 I go up there at least 2X a day and feed/play with him...PLUS he plays with the lambs all the time. That was enough to make me mad!
ETA: Here is a picture of the black Silver Fox buck for sale, I think he is $55 with pedigree, and he's 10 weeks old.

As far as your relatives go:
You can't fix stupid. Remember that and you will be able to keep your mouth shut when they visit.

I agree with DonnaBelle - up to a point - I finally had enough of stupid this weekend and had to tell my sister about it - but I love her and she loves me and we'll figure it out. Pretty rabbit. Are they fur rabbits? We raised Californians and New Zealands growing up and that's about the only breeds I'm familiar with.
