Well, this weekend was eventful. First, I put a deposit on some angora rabbits! I drove to Avillion Farm on Saturday and met a lot of rabbits. I had originally planned to get a breeding trio of French Angoras (a buck and two unrelated does), but she had a German angora that I really liked as well, so I decided to remain open-minded until I got ( Read more... )

You are the only person I know who has talked about starting a farm (rabbit or otherwise), and is actually doing it.

what a dumb month.

Congrats! You will love them! They are really sweet natured and if handled gently, make great companions. They love being brushed.

I wish she was closer. I have three does picked out that I would love to get from her place... one blue, one black and one REW. *sigh*

I recommend getting stacked cages. Call the breeder and ask who she gets her cages from - they usually sell them with all the stuff you need (water bottles, food bins, etc.) and if you order them now, before you leave, they should be ready by the time you get back. Even with the cages out in the barn, the stacked cages will be easier to use than the other types. (Just my recommendation, after doing it the hard way!!!)
