have you checked around to see if you have a livestock auction?

I'm in oklahoma- and we have farms everywhere so there is a plethera of bunnies available.

in the winter they're expensive 7-10$ each- but come spring/summer- i can get them for 1-4 $ each- sometimes i can get an entire cage of the things for 10-15$-- that has 5-7 rabbits inside...



don't know where you live- but i drive about 30-45 minutes to the good auction- and its well worth not messing with breeding.



We've got a wolf-hybrid... and well.. our last attempt at breeding ended us with zero rabbits- which was 7 rabbits less than we started with. She'd been around the rabbits for 2 years-- i guess she got bored... ripped a huge hole in the wire and had a snack...



a friend of mine used to breed flemish giants for me about a year ago- and that worked really REALLY well. He had 10 females and 1 male. he'd end up with 4 babies per mom...



just a thought...
