I had so much fun at the show yesterday with Ave Hernandez! It’s been SO long since i’ve been to a show. I only went to see Ave since she lives so far, and this show was pretty close. Definitely made me miss the rabbits!

This guy is available! He is a nice parts buck. He still has lots of time to grow into himself. He is very sweet and easy going.

Transport must pickup at my house. I will not hold for over a month so local pickup preferably. I have a newborn and can’t meet transport at this tim

Trying out something new for the bunnies. Hay cubes! Who else feeds cubes? It’s much less messy and these cubes smell good(weird right)😂

Thinking of switching to hay cubes and hay for mommas only. The amount of hay I sweep is crazy!

This post really struck out to me. Every single word!

Not every breeder is going to sell you something you wanted or expected you were purchasing. I’ve bought rabbits that didn’t fit my needs, but I did not bring that breeder down. Just be kind to each other 🤍

Have you ever met someone that likes to put others down to make themselves look good? This is something that you will see from time to time in ANY animal breeding or showing group.

Do you know the type?

Listen.

With rabbits, I have purchased a bad apple or two. Or three. Or four… in the past. But unless the breeder knowingly wronged me, you will not find that kind of behavior on my page.

I get it - there ARE situations where calling out bad behavior can be acceptable. Maybe you’ve been scammed. Maybe someone is selling “purebreds” and they know they’re not pure, but they continue to be dishonest about it to their buyers. Maybe someone lied to you about how much a certain rabbit weighs. Maybe they lied about lineage or show wins. In these instances, I find it acceptable to call them to attention, first in private, and if they aren’t willing to listen, then maybe it calls for an escalated reaction.

But otherwise…
Let’s be kind to each other.
Let’s not be petty.

Most problems and relationships can be worked out by talking with the breeder and coming to an understanding.

A year and a half ago I sold a rabbit and the owners came back to me later saying their buck had extreme aggression. I felt horrible! I told them to cull that rabbit immediately, and I set them up with a new buck for free. This was back when I failed to cull for aggression issues like I do now. I learned from the experience and worked it out with my buyers. There was no name calling, and no one tried to cancel me online. For that I am grateful!! And I have learned to extend the same grace to others.

The fact is, most breeders actually ARE trying their best. But maybe they have failed to see importance where you see it. Maybe their rabbits are really balanced, but lack weight gain. Maybe you buy a nice rabbit from someone but for some reason the offspring are throwing kits with mismarks. Bring it to their attention, but let’s not accuse people of sabotage or bad breeding practices. Let’s WORK TOGETHER and come to a resolution. I realize that this is idealistic, but it is so much better and less stressful than hostility.

The bottom line is, since I’ve been breeding and showing in my adulthood this is something that I see here and there, both online and at shows. And while I understand the frustration of not getting what you wanted, a little kindness goes a long way.

Let’s be kind to one another.
Let’s learn and grow with one another 🧡
