A beautiful silver grey doe called Smokey (the family she came from called her "ghost" as she was almost see-through!)
and an alleged netherland dwarf buck called "the Bandit" who looks like a pure Silver Fox.
.... and their offspring,  hoping to breed more in the spring.

o/h used to breed calis & Dutch. maybe will again one day, but these are pets - its the babies we make use of  :)

i adore continental giants!! :love:
was going to get one in england once but there were soooo expensive there. our local farm park had them aswell, but they had no ears as the mother apparently ate them!
we show the english and are planning on eating the non-show babies, was going to sell them as pets but i think that there are alot of unwanted rabbits around, i dont want to add to it.
im glad im not the only one who eats their rabbits. the first ones will be finished in a few weeks, there will be a few tears im sure!!

There is a mini ice age predicted, hang on to those skins. You may need them for hot pants in the next few years.  ::)

they'd look great, dont want to waste the skins, but it makes you think twice about the animal activists and anti-fur campaign. i might get chased down road in my hot-pants  :o :o :o
