Velvet Paws Rabbitry

After taking a year break while expanding my own family I’m finally getting my remaining rabbits evaluated and making plans for fall litters and hopefully will be expecting some litters of mini Rex at the end of the month!! Check back for new babies in a few weeks!!

I LOVE this explanation on why rabbits should NOT be housed together no matter the age and s*x! I never recommend housing rabbits together regardless of gender or if they are litter mates or any other factor, and I don’t encourage keeping them in the same cage. Madi gives great information about the risk of rabbits being caged together and how they generally are not as social together as what many people will make them out to be.

Odin Rex Buck DOB November 23, 2022

IF I rehome this guy I’ll be picky about where he goes and do not want him to go to a breeding home. Period.

Odin is from a line that carried genetic blindness and he was kept to test breed a few rabbits for those poor genes and I’m no longer testing/breeding that line. There is a VERY strong chance he carrys those genes that produce the blindness and could pass it on to offspring so it’s strongly recommended he’s not used for breeding. But he’s to much of a friendly good boy to not be loved by someone.

Odin is a big, super social and friendly dude. I’d love to see him go to a pet home where he could be a big house bunny, but I don’t think he’d be fantastic for a 4H rabbit as he hates sitting still for long periods. But possibly could with a lot of handling and work. He’s super easy to pick up, carry and handle for grooming and I think he’d be an incredible pet.

A few Mini Rexs available. I would consider all of these pet quality rabbits, just not up to preferred confirmation, or breeders that didn’t work out. See individual photos for details. These rabbits will be sold discounted from my usual pricing to reflect ages and pet quality.

I’ve been slack lately…. Ive been struggling for a few months now fighting with my ADHD and mental health to find the ambition again to spend time with my rabbits and go back to doing things I enjoy. Now I’m back on track and things are better. Things are cleaned and more organized and I’ll try to be more active with sharing breeding updates and available buns.

I’ll hopefully be expecting 4 Mini Rex litters next month, and may look at trying to get a Rex bred as well.

Over the next few days I’ll update the page with anything I currently have available as I’ll be making some cuts and culls to make room for new future breeders to continue improving my lines.

If you’ve been waiting for a message from me regarding a rabbit I do apologize but please shoot me another message to let me know that you’re still looking or if you see something you’re interested in. A lot of what I’ll be posting will most likely be more pet suitable rabbits but may have a few older breeders I’ll be moving or something suitable for 4&6 showroom 4H classes.

Please enjoy these adorable photos of my senior girl Charlotte in a Bumble Bee costume and a Pumpkin House 🥰
