Anyone want any rabbits

This year I have bred two litters of rabbits to exhibit, but instead of only keeping the best out of the litter I decided to raise both litters then sell the kits that were not up to show standards, so after placing many adds on the Internet I sold two, then low and behold I have a visit from the RSPCA, the person who I sold the two kits to didn't like the way I was keeping my rabbits and so reported me.

So it looks like I shall be going back to culling litters and only keeping the ones that may be worth showing

Re: Anyone want any rabbits

How exactly are you keeping your rabbits?!!!

What do you mean by cull mad:

I will take them, where abouts are you?

what did the RSPCA say about their living conditions? if they saw no problem then there is no need to cull any of the babies as you will be able to say that there is nothing wrong with the way they are living these people may just be a one off, why dont you give them free to good homes its better than killing them

Re: Anyone want any rabbits

So with the remaining Kits why don't you give them to a good home rather than kill them

Honestly can't believe what I'm reading, the culling days are long gone mate, there's plenty of people wanting pet rabbits, so how you have only sold two I will never know.
What did the RSPCA have to say about the conditions?

I suggest you stop breeding if you have to resort to killing the bunnies you don't want.

There's nothing wrong with keeping a Rabbit and a Guinea Pig together
My old rabbit and guinea were together as best friends until they died

Oh dont get me started on that!! There is alot wrong with guinea pigs and rabbits together, read the guinea pig and rabbit thread, ive posted lots on there. I used to have a guinea pig and rabbit together because i thought it was fine, i can tell you its not. This is all said in a nice non arguementive way

Have bumped it up for you Chikadee, read my last post
