Oooh oooh oooh :bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

Whatcha wanting them for? Pets or meat?

As pets they are soppy gentle giants, and monkeys untill they are grown up :love:
As meat rabbits they have too much bone in relation to meat, but if you had a few does and put a dutch or english buck across them....

My fave now for meat or pets are french lops, they are wonderfully dopey and I don't live a million miles away ;)

By the way, neither would be suitable for a hutch, but I KNOW you have the space for a fab bunny set up ;D

I have a fancy for the Fancy and would like to breed and show them( and eat any surplus :yum:)  I can have large hutches and very large runs. Good to hear from you girl!
