Oreo's litter of 6!!!!

[wabbitwuver]

My mixed breed bunny, Oreo, had 6 baby bunnies on August 6th 2004! I bred her with my Best Friend's broken castor Mini Rex boy,Cinnamon.
Oreo had 2 broken blacks like herself, 2 broken blues just like Spice, 1 BEAUTIFUL broken chocolate & 1 broken castor just like the daddy! I am keeping the chocolate & castor, there names are of course, Fudgeo & Caramel. My Best Friend is taking a broken blue, named Smokey. I'm quite sure her Aunt will be taking one once she see's them, lol. Anywayz here they are <3

Why did you breed your mixed breed bunny?

AW! They're adorable!

I've got a litter of 3 Holland Lops right now, born on July 31st!

They are the most adorable things!!! But I too am curious as to the reason you bred a mixed breed bunny? I only ask because of the epidemic numbers of homeless pets, including bunnies. All your babies are finding good homes and that is admirable, but the fact that there are already so many unwanted pets who need to find a home, every litter just puts more animals into the problem. This is just something to think about before you breed again.

Your babies are adorable!

I don't think it's different from breeding purebred bunnies... but I understand what you mean about overpopulation. In some areas though there isn't an overpopulation of bunnies.

I think it is slightly different. After all, supposedly breeding purebred anything is meant to improve the breed and keep the heritage going through the generations. (I personally think there is too much of that too, but I am not being judgemental, just trying to make people who might not be aware, of the problem with overpopulation of companion animals)

Agreed.

Also, Wolfie, if you area doesn't have an over population problem, you could always travel to some place that does, or the people who are buying a rabbit from you (if you were a breeder) could. Certainly an hour of your time to drive somewhere and save a life is worth it.

(NOT saying I disagree with responsible breeding or buying from a responsible breeder)

come on folks...i'm a HUUUUGE animal lover too, but this poster only posted so she could share something that made her happy and proud, and ya'll kinda jumped (or hopped, since we're talking bunnies) on her...I'd say it's making her sad that she came on here to share something that made her smile, and instead, she's being questioned. She didn't have to post at all, ya know....

just my two cents.

[jenluckenbach]

ya'll kinda jumped .... on her

I for one do not feel I jumped on her. I tried to be nice, compliment the pictures, but I also tried to educate and in a nice way (in my opinion). Are we not allowed to ask a simple question? I personally hope she does not feel badly, as that was the farthest thing from my intention.

Oreo's babies are adorable! Thanks so much for sharing pics of them...did I miss the proud Mama? We all share in your happiness Wabbitwuver and are thrilled that Mom and babies are doing so well and most of all, that they all have loving homes to go to. Yes, the breeding of any species, when there is an overpopulation of that breed or species, gives us all something to consider. I don't think Wabbitwuver did this for profit or any nafarious reason. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think she may be a younger person. Perhaps this decision was not her own and I'm sure she will take all of our well intentioned cautions regarding breeding under consideration. As we grow, we learn and that's a good thing The breeding of any species, purebred or mixed, when there is an over population of that breed or species, always gives me pause for thought! Congratulations to the proud Mama and thank you so much wabbitwuver for sharing your beautiful bunnies with us! They're very lucky to have such a caring furmom!

(Wabbitlover let me start off by saying I am in no way against what you did. You seem like you really care for your bunnies and that is what counts. I also have NO opinion of you since I do not know you yet. I also would rather be friends with you then enemy's)

What I don't understand is when people say that they have bred there dog a WHOLE bunch of people jump all over them and tell them they shouldn't and about the overpopulation problem, but when someone breeds there rabbit or other small pet and we just ask why WE get yelled at.
