Okay, we’ve been deep in myth-busting mode lately 😅 Important work… but my brain (and probably yours) could use a breather. So let’s switch gears for a minute. 🐰 Fun rabbit check-in: What’s your favorite non-serious thing about your rabbits right now? • A weird habit • A name that makes no sense • A personality quirk • A rabbit that thinks it’s a cat/dog/goat • A “why are you like this” moment No debates. No nutrition math. No correcting anyone. Just rabbits being rabbits. I’ll start: I have one who DEMANDS head Pets evertime I walk in the barn🙃 Your turn 👇

Ethical breeding isn’t about aesthetics or marketing. It’s about purpose, honesty, and selection over time. Whether you’re buying rabbits for meat, breeding, show, or a working homestead, these standards protect both animals and buyers. First — an important reality check You cannot assess breeding quality in newborn rabbits. Period. At birth, you cannot evaluate: 🐇Type or structure 🐇Growth trajectory 🐇Shoulder set, width, or balance 🐇Depth, bone, or long-term efficiency Most of the groups I am in even have a ban on pre-selling or even listing newborns for sale for these exact reasons . Those traits do not become meaningfully visible until weeks later: 🐰Growth trends: minimum 6 weeks 🐰Overall type: 8+ weeks 🐰Shoulder set, width, balance: 12–14 weeks At the newborn stage, the only honest assessment is that kits are alive, nursing, and healthy. Advertising newborns as “breeding stock,” “fast-growing,” or “proven efficient producers” is misleading. Responsible breeders wait to evaluate before making claims. Marketing animals before they can be assessed isn’t professionalism — it’s salesmanship, and it sets buyers up for false expectations. If kits are being sold as meat grow-outs, say that. If they’re being held back for evaluation, say that. Presenting newborns as evaluated breeding animals crosses an ethical line. Good breeding programs are built on selection, not assumptions — and selection requires time. What Actually Makes a Reputable Breeder A responsible breeder: • posts pictures of the animals in a proper show pose with at least 3 angles for evaluation, and lists parents weights, even if you are selling meat stock a commercial pose allows the assessment of Hips, Loin, Shoulders, and Balance. A correct pose will be able to see faults like lack of depth, width, pinched, narrow or undercut. • Breeds with a clear purpose (meat, hide, show, working lines, or breed development), not to flood the pet market. • Culls animals appropriately rather than prolonging suffering or selling subpar stock.
