stinky buck syndrome

[AClark]

One of mine is filthy like that, I noticed he stopped doing it when I moved him away from the others, just far enough he can't see my other buck. He's cleaned up considerably. When we got both of my bucks they rode home together in a box (it wasn't planned, went to pick up a puppy and came home with a puppy and two rabbits!) my kids named the white buck popcorn because the other one had peed on him so much that he was white and yellow like buttered popcorn...I had them in the house but the black buck kept spraying everything so they found their way out to the garage and away from each other.

Considering a rabbit neuter would be $80 ( or up!!!) Plus he probably would continue spraying... and I MIGHT get $30 as a pet.... seems like a losing endeavor. While I don't expect to make a ton of money on bunnies, I can't lose that amount.
In any case I have 2 more does bred to him, see if I continue to like his offspring enough to deal with his habits.

There's no money to be made in rabbits. you don't make money showing them, they cost money in their care, maintenance, breeding, travelling etc. A lot can go wrong with the kits or with the rabbits becoming ill suddenly. Not quite sure what the top going rate for a pet bunny is in the US, but here it's a max of $80 & for that you'd want a good rabbit. Costs me more in hutches & upkeep lol.
