Rabbit Web Discussion Board

I have added a pic of Apple\'s week-old kits and one of me holding a lil\' darlin\'.

I also added pics of my two latest Mini Satin purchases: Stahl\'s Voyager (5 mo old buck) and Bella Luna\'s Moon (2 mo old White doe). Neither was interested in posing, but that\'s OK.

Just click on the Mini Satin link on the home page...

Beautiful! That little white one looks like he glows in the dark. Will you be keeping all of them or will you be selling them? How do you decide?

Since I have a rather small rabbitry, I need to be fairly discriminating when I decide who to keep. (I\'d love to keep them ALL!)

I will most likely keep the most outstanding doe and buck in the litter (if there is that choice). I usually don\'t try to sex the kits until they are 2 1/2 to 3 weeks old. A lot of folks have trouble determining sex until the kits are almost 8 weeks, but I\'ve been doing this so long, I have a pretty good track record, though I recheck often \"just in case\".

Type is my number one criteria, even over color and fur. I look for a nice smooth, firm body with a round, compact profile. Head and ears are important. I prefer shorter ears and rounder head.

The others may be very good, but I will only keep the two, so other breeders may want them. The ones that don\'t measure up type-wise, will still make great pets!
