Rex Rabbits on the Homestead

Well, it's about time we tell you about our rabbits ...or rather, Madison's rabbits.

Back in California we had a Holland Lop who was, unfortunately for the little guy, named Sir Peter Bun-bun, Elsa Tickle-Smootch Holt.  Haha. We Loved having a rabbit and Madison participated in our local 4-H and practiced her showmanship with him.  Unfortunately he was fixed and therefore she was never able to breed him, which was something she had been interested in doing.  Well, she learned a lot about rabbits through that project and he was gifted to friends of ours when we moved. He is happy and healthy with a new family.
When we settled here in NC, Madison got right to work building herself a whole new rabbit operation. She didn't waste any time and when we had only been on our new land for one month she was ready to bring home new bunnies.
Madison drew up the plans based on research she had done and had dad help her build the three compartment cage for her breeding rabbits.  She had a mishap with an unhealthy rabbit we purchased but ended up finding a replacement buck.  Today we share with you Madison's Rex Rabbits!

Enjoy!
