Yay!!! I have been wanting these for SO long... supposedly they are really good quality show rabbits and the lady that had them just had too many and wanted to re-home some of them. They are tattooed inside their ears, does anyone know what that means? I just wanted to share because I love them and they are so beautiful and nice!

This is the Doe... Sweetpea.

First buck... named him Teddy!!! He is HUGE and has a GIANT head.

Second Buck named Novi.

My babies!

I should be getting a second doe soon.

And I will be building them permanent cages which I will do a building thread.

The tattoo inside the left ear is the breeders means of IDing the animal. Depending on the system the breeder used, it could contain her name, the parents initials or just a number. Just depends on what system they use. Also, all rabbits that are shown ARBA are required to have a tattoo in the left ear for ID purposes on the show table. When a rabbit is evaluated by a judge, he or she will read off the ear number and then give comments on that animal. In this way two animals are not confused ... if you can imagine 20 or 30 calif does on the table at once ... how do you know which one is yours?

So, simply, it is the animals ID ... kinda like your SSN.

Nice.

Are you planning to breed or show? I'm STILL working out kinks in my caging, changing this and that. Look forward to seeing what you do. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Gorgeous! We just got a beautiful breeding pair of American Chinchilla rabbits. They are so fun and sweet. So, I understand your excitement!

We are hoping to find another unrelated doe in the fall. We have very strange rabbit housing...I'll have to post pics when it is all done, but so far, we are loving it and the buns are loving it, so all is well.
