Food for thoughts

  • If no one were to breed animals, and all existing animals were spayed and neutered in about 20 years no one would have any pets, and everyone would be vegetarians. Scary thought isn't it?
  • There is no such thing as a "Full Miniature Rabbit" or "Mini Dutch" or "Dutch Dwarf" or "Basic Dwarf" if it doesn't have a pedigree it can not be legally called purebred, and if the breed is not recognized by any major Rabbit Breeders Club it cannot be called a pure breed (it's the same with dogs, cats, horses etc.)
  • Pet Stores lie. What does a part time student know anyways?
  • /\ Pet Stores exist to cater to your pet needs (Farmer stores do this to but for cheaper) They want to sell their pets/products no matter what the costs. Breeders exists because they have a personal investment (it's not cheap ya' know) to improve upon their respected breeds, have some healthy competition in shows, and mainly have fun and meet new and interesting people.
  • If you want a mix breed rabbit, please for the love of all things small and furry, don't make your first question "What Breed is it?" it ruins the whole mix breed effect.
  • People asking what breed their rabbit is. Unless it follows a certain breed standard almost to an exact. It's probably a mix of a mix of a mix of a mix, your good ol' Heinz 57. Its probably not a Dwarf Holland cross.
  • If you're trying to sell you rabbit please don't lie. If it's agressive please mention that, or if it needs special attention because it's diabetic it's best to mention that as well.
  • If you buy a rabbit and decide you want it to have babies because babies are cute. PLEASE don't especially if you don't know what you're doing.
  • If you have any questions about the gender of your bunny, or how to cut its nails, grooming, and or cleaning. Contact a breeder they'd be more then happy to help you out.
