What age/breed is she?

[woodleighcreek]

Where did you get her? The breeder probably knows what breed and how old she is.

Ugh, ok, to be honest I got her at a farmer's market. The sellers didn't know anything about them. He said they were his son's projects. I asked if they raised them for meat rabbits, and he said they don't raise them they just buy them and sell them. I KNOW it's not the best way to get rabbits.... But I've been looking everywhere near me and I can't find any for a decent price. The one breeder around here wanted $40 for a purebred 3 yr old doe) and $30 for a crossbred doe. I just don't want to spend that kind of money at this moment, so when I saw these rabbits I figured it'd at least be a way to start breeding. I so wish I could have gotten that Californian doe from the fair! They just wouldn't let any animals leave early.

Hmm....then I guess you will just wait and see. She is very pretty and i LOVE the color.

Normally, It is better to pay more money for a purebred, pedigreed rabbit than to buy one to breed, though. If I were you, I would wait until the fair is over and get the californian.

The logical side of me knows that, but the impatient "I want it now" side of me overruled. I live 2 hours away from that particular fair, so it just didn't work out. It wasn't meant to be I guess. :/

Oh yes, I am aware of the "I want it now" side. I dont bring money into shows any more because I want those little fluffy bunnies so bad. It is hard to remember that I already have 11 rabbits at home with 2 more litters on the way and I dont have any more room.

I got a few rabbits from a fair in OH,but that was bad cause I was told it was a male and a week later she had babies on the ground that died . And the mini rex I have now was papered an stuff but they didnt know it was a male and it had been attacked by a dog and he side was open and bleeding everywhere so they kept lowering the price on him,sad really, but I totally understand the I want them now thing .

My point is that just getting them cause you want them or they are hard to find can be a bad idea in the long run(not saying yours was,im reffering to my girl one)


I have been waiting 7 months now,trying to find a female mini rex to go with him and im so tempted to just get any mixed breed cause I want a litter,but I sell to breeders so I cant .

Is she for meat ?

She looks like a Cinnamon/Rex cross to me. Satin fur is different, it is longer and has a sheen to it from the translucence of the shaft. Her fur has definite Rex qualities and her coloring looks like a cinnamon.

I got a new little rabbit and I was wondering if anyone could guess what age or breed she may be? She's very friendly and SO soft. Her fur is very short and dense. Her whiskers are slightly curly, does that mean anything?

She's going to be a breeder for meat rabbits. My buck is a cross (Am. Chin X Silver Fox) so I wasn't too concerned with getting a papered doe. If I decide I truly like raising meat rabbits then I'll go ahead and find registered stock.

First, congrats on your rabbit. For $9 what have you got to loose? she is beautiful! There is nothing wrong with getting her even without know anything about her. It's a chance and it's now. Sometimes, that works out very well especially if you are wanting it for personal meat use.

And if it turns out she isn't right for you, and your purpose wasn't for meat, improve her condition some and sell her.

Thanks! And do you think she's thin?

mini rex, it looks like a chocolate tort. I don't think if it was crossed with a normal furred breed the rex fur would be pressent so either mini rex or mini rex/rex cross
