Question about rabbit breeds :)?

You shouldn't breed period. There are so many bunnies out there that most end up in testing labs, the pound or even dead. Yes, you hope they are all going to good homes but usually half the people that buy them give them away or breed them not knowing their blood line, or if its incest. It shouldn't be about 'having fun with it' Those bunnies are going to people who aren't responsible, don't care, abuse, or some even buy them for their meat. Why not give it a rest for awhile. There are already tons of bunnies out there that need homes, don't add to the problem.

It doesn't bother you that they could easily die through child birth, you can only breed them with the same or smaller type of rabbit? Don't add to the over-populated population of unwanted bunnies. It's one of the most over populated animals on the earth. Most people want cats or dogs, usually not bunnies.

'It might work..' Ha ha that's a good one. Something that happens everyday. "So if they die, we just won't do it again."

Selling to breeders. I rest my case.

FYI, you don't know how each individual rabbit handles birth. You don't know if its common in his family to die in birth.

A lot of thought? Your asking strangers over the internet. You don't know if they know what their talking about. Obviously you aren't putting much thought into how it will effect the rabbit. You're just looking for something new and exciting. You've never bred them, so you don't know yourself what it will be like. If your not going to stop then stick to one type of breed. Don't try new things. It's a living breathing thing. It's not to experiment with. You're playing with lives here.

To ensure they don't go into a bad situation? That makes no sense. I can put a smile on my face, tell you I come from a good place and that's it. I got my rabbit from a breeder who has been breeding Holland lop bunnies for 13 years. I know how easy it was and they have never tried to breed other breeds. At least they haven't experimented. Stick to one breed and get smarter in that breed. Don't go all over the place, that's just messy and you'll never learn. Stick to one bloodline.

I raise holland lops and LOVE them! I raise for show and sometimes pet depending on the quality of the rabbit. The only problem is that sometimes the hair will mat but VERY rarely. My does are bred no more than 3 times a year and I have 2 right now but getting more in Januray. Holland lops are AMAZING rabbits!

if you already raise lionheads and like hollandlops get an american fuzzylop. they have lots of fur which means they need to be brushed a lot and have lopped ears so they will need them clean. they are small. and i have a holland lop and he is very fun and calm which most likely means fuzzy lops will be too.if you want more information you can go to...

the only negative is they aren't that easy to find.but you could buy a holland lop and breed it with the lioheads. it might work

Holland Lop!

They are great rabbits. They can become tame easily, easy to handle and overall they are cute. Sorry I didn't type much...I don't know much about showing rabbits. But I do breed them!
