I tried to take some pictures today, but the bunnies were being divas. This little doe will be up for adoption in a few weeks, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.

Some cute things my daughter and granddaughter did tonight

04/16/2025

From personal experience, I can say that culling is by far the hardest part of breeding rabbits. It’s one thing to study animal husbandry or genetics in theory—but quite another to hold a tiny, living creature in your hands and make the painful decision that it won’t remain in your breeding program.

There were times when I have to cull very young baby rabbits, and no amount of preparation could have softened the emotional toll. These decisions aren't made lightly. Some of the babies are born with clear genetic defects or health issues that would cause them suffering later in life. Others simply do not meet the physical standards needed to continue in a responsible breeding line.

It’s heartbreaking, especially when you’ve been there from the moment they were born—watching them grow, knowing each one’s unique behavior or quirks. It doesn’t feel like a “routine” farm chore; it feels like a moral weight. Even when I know that culling is necessary for the health of the line and the ethical treatment of the animals, it always leaves me questioning whether there was another way.

What makes it even harder was knowing that most people outside the rabbit breeding world don’t understand this process. They assume cruelty where there is actually compassion—a commitment to preventing suffering and ensuring the strongest, healthiest animals thrive.

That emotional and ethical push-pull is what makes culling the hardest part of rabbit breeding. It’s a decision made with the head, but one that breaks the heart.

I just can't get enough of these babies. Almost four weeks now.

Regrettably, a fuzzy fairy has landed in my rabbitry. Unfortunately, she is not suitable for exhibition. Cursed fuzzies.

My daughter has Britts and Dwarf Papillons. Go check her out!

Three weeks old photos. It is quite difficult to get all the kits to cooperate simultaneously. The babies are progressing well. I am fond of the diverse colors.

Netherland Dwarf:
Next round of does to deliver some more babies. Most of them missed the first round or had their babies fostered.
Looking forward to more babies.
