As I have mentioned many times before, mine is a very small rabbitry. Skor, Noobie, BlueBerry & Holly Hope will always be the permanent residents although I know one day, they will be out bred by their offspring. I will be adding on more permanent residents at Meadow Haven while I “cull” and send most to good homes. Once Meadow Haven has reached its limit, I will stop breeding until the older generations pass on and free up the spaces I have.
I will fill Meadow Haven with its finest but what happen when I am faced with so many potential finest?
At this moment I am in dilemma as to which to choose between Eclipse & Luna. Both have their strengths and weaknesses but there can only be one.
There are of course many criterias which I look out for but I am going in this order:
1) Body Type
2) Color/Markings
Beside from the above, I am also looking for traits that could help me improve the herd further. I only have Skor as my herd buck at the moment and I do not know when will there be another buck coming along that could replace him. Eclipse being the only other buck I have at the moment makes it even harder for me to decide.
I wonder how other breeders like me cope with their herd. I guess it is always better to have a big rabbitry where every single kit can be kept. LOL. That’s totally the opposite extreme…
Maybe I shall pluck a sunflower and start plucking its petals to help me decide.
Luna, Eclipse, Luna, Eclipse…
UPDATE:
How can I resist this?
