Update(10-5-06): Our rabbitry is down to about 14 rabbits. We no longer breed them, and have no baby bunnies. Because my mom was sick, she really couldn't do more than feed and water them. Consequently, the rabbits were not maintained properly, resulting in long toenails and broken toes. The rest of our stock is also old. (4-5+ years)
Because of this many rabbits are no longer show worthy and not for sale. Please don't e-mail regarding buying any rabbits or updating this site. Thank you.
