Today, the Florida State Rabbit and Cavy Breeder's Back to School Youth Benefit Show took place in Inverness, FL. Although the turnout was smaller than usual and we missed seeing some familiar faces, the youth did a fantastic job running a smooth and successful event. Jacob was thrilled and pleasantly surprised with the results of the day. He's already looking forward to his next show at the end of September or the beginning of October.

We're feeling a little sleepy this morning, but hoping for a good show today at the FSRCBA Back to School Youth Benefit show.

Best wishes to all exhibitors!

Today was long, fun day at the Mid Florida RBA's Red, White, and Bunny summer show in Inverness, FL. It was a great opportunity to meet several judges we hadn’t encountered before, offering fresh insights on our rabbits. Jacob and his rabbits earned Best Opposite in all three youth shows—twice with his homegrown senior black otter buck and once with his junior amber doe from Mike Tucker.

Jacob is looking forward to the next show on August 3rd, also in Inverness. It’s a great chance to support our local youth, and we hope to see everyone there!

Good morning! We're ready for another show day today in Inverness. Wishing all the exhibitors well!

Jacob had an excellent day at the Central Rabbit Breeder's summer show in Deland. He took Best of Breed in both Youth A and B with his amber junior doe, Tuck's Blown Away (Thanks, Mike Tucker, for giving Jacob the opportunity to add her to his amber program.).

He also won Best Opposite S*x of Breed in Youth B with his senior amber buck, as well as some variety wins in Open C with his ambers and black otter. The club does a great job with their youth contest/clinics as well and Jacob enjoyed participating in them.

Now a short three week hiatus before the next show. This one will be a youth benefit show held in Inverness on June 22nd. If you're local, come out and support the youth!

We're ready for a busy day at the Central FL Rabbit Breeders summer show in Deland today.

A big thank you to our friend, Robin, at Our Lil Bowtique for Jacob's snazzy new apron. He loves it. Thanks, Robin!

Our boy loves his animals.

Yesterday, we attended the Southland Rabbit Club Spring Double Show. He showed a senior amber buck that won best of breed in youth show A, and a junior black otter buck that won best opposite s*x of breed in youth show B. It was a long day, but he was happy with the results and is looking forward to the next show in Dover, FL on May 4th.

The 2023 Rex Sweepstakes winners are out and Jacob was the top youth amber exhibitor in the country. He's been working hard on this variety for nearly two years now, so he's so proud that his work is paying off. He also placed in the top 10 for black, castor, lilac and chocolate varieties as well as #12 overall. We're very proud of his work and look forward to seeing how his rabbits do this year.

We had a good day in Inverness at the Mid Florida RBA Spring show. Earlier in the week, it looked like we might not make it, so we kept things to a minimum. Jacob took some prospects for evaluation and got some good and helpful comments. He was also pleasantly surprised to win Best Opposite of Breed in Youth A with one of his junior black otter does, as well as Best of Breed in Youth C with the same doe. We saw some really great youth rabbits today and can't wait to see how they progress in the coming months. It's wonderful to see the youth working together and helping each other. Big congrats to all of the winners today in both Youth and Open shows!

The next show in our area will be the SRC Spring Show & Clinic in Fanning Springs, FL on April 20th. Mark your calendars!

We will be closed for business for the next few weeks to spend time with our family. Responses to messages will be limited and will take longer than usual. There are no rabbits available at this time. We expect to have more rabbits and quail available after Christmas. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Meat buns looking to hop! We have more than we need for our own use right now. Buns are mixed breed, and the photos are only a sample of what is available. Bucks and does available. PM for info.

We had a busy day yesterday attending the Coastal State RBA show in Dover. Jacob showed both polish and rex. He got good comments on his young polish. In rex, his 12 week old amber buck took best opposite in youth show A (he was tickled) and his lovely Orchid took best of breed in youth show B. He's doing well with his homegrown buns. Amber is still by far his favorite and he's already planning his Fall litters. :)

Jacob and Poppy are ready for the show here in Inverness today. Hoping for a great day for all the youth!

These are our current, pedigreed rex (Please note, we do NOT breed minis). We are slowing down for the Summer months due to heat and hurricane season, so we will have very limited availability from now until the Fall/Winter breeding season begins.

The individual picture comments will be updated as their status changes (deposits, pending, etc.). All rabbits are juniors unless otherwise noted.

We are located in Spring Hill, Florida 34610 and are by appointment only. We also plan on attending the upcoming show in Fanning Springs, FL on 6/24 and have limited space for some to hitch a ride. Please note that for bio security reasons, we will only transport sold rabbits to the show. We cannot bring available rabbits for viewing.

We do work with the transports that run through our area. When looking at transports, we are generally Spring Hill/Dade City/San Antonio, FL stops. If you are unfamiliar with transport, we would be happy to make recommendations, however, all transport arrangements are solely your responsibility.

It's been a busy weekend, but Jacob enjoyed the show put on by the Central FL Rabbit Breeders Association. He was very happy that his amber buck took Best Opposite of Breed in Youth Show A and amazed and thrilled that his beautiful black doe, Orchid, won Best Opposite of Breed in Open Show C against 66 other rabbits. Jacob says thank you to everyone who sent him best wishes for the show.

He is really looking forward to the next show in Fanning Springs in 3 weeks and can't wait to enter his new polish buck as well as his rex.

We're here and ready for the CFRBA show here in Deland this morning. Wishing all the exhibitors a great day!

TAMUK rabbits are awesome moms on top of being docile and heat tolerant. Cecily had her first litter and also took on the job of fostering a few rex for us as well. As you can see, she's doing an excellent job and everyone loves mom.
