more rabbits?? shocking.gif how do u bond with so many at 1 time?
your "teddy bear" is small coz they are underage..

those pet shops use bengy coz it's cheap..i dont think they bother to feed them the expensive ones since pet shops are more to earning money then caring for rabbit health ...tat's why i op for home breed rabbit..

just wanna clarify,justiny i dont think u buy rabbit because of the breed right?..if so better not simply post up the breeds and confuse people if u are not sure of it..coz i myself i'm learning about various breeds to see what i should work on next time..and so far your teddy bear/english anggora/turkish anggora kits just looks the same to me...they look like what claimed to be anggora rabbits that are sold in petshops..they might have the long coat gene of an anggora thats true but just dont brand them with a special breed..what i'm saying is...like dogs mongrels also have long fur but they dont have a special breed that are still called mongrels or at least a mix breed with a certain pedigree dog maybe...belive me i rather research on the overseas breeders then refering to petshops for breeds..i never heard of teddy bear and turkish anggora.maybe turkish anggora cat sound familiar but i'm not very knowlegable in cats..

it is very clear that u like long coat anggora mix rabbits...enjoy grooming them..u can collect the fur and make a pillow out of it..


Added on February 22, 2010, 7:28 pmi'm not against any breed...i myself have a mix breed lion head..i claimed it to be closer to a lion head coz she has a mane and long fur on the chest..rabbit makes great pets and i'm sure everyone here agrees with me.even local breeds turn out beautiful due to their unique colours and shades..i just dont like petshops branding their rabbits a particular breed that dont exist...it makes no sense why they are doing that

Actually I am more interested on how the rabbits look, colors and size that appealing to me. In fact, I also noticed that male rabbits make better pet than female. Female tends to turn aggressive after adulthood. Grooming time is the bonding time with my pets.

Collect the fur for pillow? Eeewww....a bit unhygeine isn't it?

Yup..I saw that on the website too..European use the wool to knit some clothing too. Hmm.....may be I could one day, when I collect enough wool, and learn how to clean the wool first. hmm.gif


Added on February 23, 2010, 1:09 pmThis is an eye opener for me...some of the blogs whom they claimed they are rabbitry breeders, I visited one and found out that the condition of the rabbits they keep is really shocking to me. I know some people have to make a living out of breeding, but....breeding inside the apartment balcony is making me speechless...see in this blog doh.gif. I understand everyone have to start somewhere, but really wondering where he throw the rabbits droppings? Inside the toilet sewage pipe?

My initial understanding of rabbitry breeders like those commercial breeders such as this:

You are right. Most breeders out there are doing it for the money. So the places they breed doesn't matter as long as they breed. I have no qualms about breeders breeding using limited space or not but I am very particular on cleanliness and quality of living for the rabbits. You really have to know how to set breeders apart.

There are 3 types in my opinion:

1) Hobbyist/Show breeders
Spend most of their earnings on up keeping their hobby. Knows the breed that they work on in and out. Always striving for improvements based on standards imposed and governed by a recognized club or association. Breaking even with their venture is almost impossible due to the hard work and investment put into it.

2) Commercial/Farm breeders
Big investment for meat trade mostly. In Malaysia normally supply pets to pet stores too.

3) Backyard breeders
No money but try to breed to get pocket money. Operates on a very meager budget. All they know about their stock is mostly breeding related. Condition is horrendous mostly. Pet quality also will do lahhHHhh....

Since you are in the dog hobby, I am sure you know what backyard breeding is and that applies to rabbits as well.

I will personally go for Hobbyist breeder anytime because they breed for quality and their rabbits are part of the family as pets at the same time.

Honestly, what you have shared really IRKS and scares the daylight out of me. It is very traumatic for me to see this sort of breeders mushrooming all around just because there is a little impression that rabbits can make money. I personally prefer not to highlight such blogs/website because it may mislead people into patronizing, thus encourage such conditions.

They can recognize just that their hormones are getting the better of them...

Very happy that my tiny Mashimaro are gaining weight since I brought them home! Seeing them growing week by week is really exciting...!

However the other one which I bought recently, it had diarrhea on the next day when I brought it home. Took it to the vet, and given antibiotic, stop the diarrhea already, but after 2 days of recovery, it is still not gaining much weight. sad.gif

u must be very careful giving antibiotics to rabbit because rabbit rely on the normal flora of good bacteria in the stomach..many vets in malaysia are not aware of this and not all antibiotic are safe for rabbits..better to ask..
good they are growing..


Added on February 26, 2010, 8:44 pmthe blog links u posted up..

dont even know what quality they are talking about...look at the price they are selling that rabbit...crazy...and yet some manage to be sold..probably to other desperate backyard breeders

i know what u mean. the worst is a particular petting zoo. "bring your kids to play and pet the rabbits, teach them how to love animals. also visit our cafeteria where we teach u how to cook rabbit meat".
sick. if i had kids, bet that whole experience will seriously confuse them. vmad.gif

Sorry to hear that. That's the typical position of dead rabbits that I hate to see. Another one bites the dust...

Binky free little one....

sorry to hear about that. This is actually the reason why I had asked about the age of the bunnies when I first saw the photos. They do look a bit too young to be separated from the mother. This is something important to watch out for in the future too if you get more rabbits.

Actually the dead one was not from the Thailand stocks. The Thailand stocks were very healthy, they are gaining weight and active. The dead one was in fact already 2 months old, I bought from a local seller from Semenyih, I SMS him about the condition of the bunny 2 days ago, he did suggested me to bring it back to him let him take care of the bunny until recovery, but I thought I could manage it myself....sigh...well..I have myself to blame.

I buried it in my own garden.
