Our rabbitry has changed. We are now proud breeders of pedigreed Silver Fox rabbits, a critically endangered American breed of rabbit. The Silver Fox is an extraordinarily beautiful truly multipurpose breed. They are an exceptional meat producing rabbit with the added bonus of unique fur that very closely resembles Silver Fox fur. Once widely bred for meat, the breed almost became extinct when commercial meat packers started wanting only white rabbits... so the fur would not show up on the meat.
Our does have shown outstanding mothering ability, often lacking in other breeds. Known as the "teddy bear" of commercial breeds, our Silver Fox have lived up to this description and are very easily handled. This makes them a great rabbit for kids to raise and show.
We are extremely fortunate to have a pair of really nice blue Foxes, blues being super-rare. Our buck, Billy Blue is in my opinion an outstanding buck, having excellent meat conformation and weighing 11.5 lbs! It is expected that blues will be re-instated this fall for show by ARBA. It is possible to show blues now with prior permission of the show committee.
We have kits and young Silver Fox available for purchase now, both black and blue varieties.
All our does will kindle again later this month for kits available early April.
Prices for all Silver Fox is $25.00, far below their value as we are wanting to encourage more people to raise this wonderful breed!
