This was really helpful as I'm considering going to my first show in February. It makes me really nervous, because I may need to go by myself and I've never done this, eek! But I really want to know what quality my buns are.

Thanks so much for this video!! Me and my 13 yr old daughter are new to showing Holland lops and this was great info.

I started showing rabbits four years ago and it was pretty confusing.. this video would of been helpful back then.. :) The lady who helped me at a show raises really nice Silver foxes.. Congrats on your wins! it's not easy to do.. you must have a good eye for meat breeds.. Glad you shared your wins, it makes me even more interested to follow you now..

Can you choose your own numbers for your bunnies? I'm new to this still learning

I followed the steps you listed to enter a show, and the show secretary said Watch For Event Page. I wasn't sure what the next step should be.

@TealStoneHomestead

I would email the secretary back and ask her where the event page is. Ask if she has a link maybe.

Could you talk more specifically about how to pose rabbits for professional photos and shows? And what to look for once posed to determine if a particular rabbit may be developing into show quality? That's what I'm having the most trouble with, and surprisingly there aren't many step-by-step videos out there. We have pedigreed SF from champion lines, and are *hopefully* expecting our first 2 litters early-ish December. I'm trying to get a better idea of how to pose and evaluate kits once they're weaned, and plan to practice on my current breeders. I want to enter shoes, but right now I'm not even sure if it's worth trying with any of the breeders we have because I don't really know what to look for.

That’s a great idea! If you have time to join me live tonight, I’ll have some rabbits with me, just remind me in the chat! If not, that is something that I can go into more detail in the future. I talk about it a little more in my “meet my silver foxes” video. Shows are also a great way to get an opinion on growing juniors! Hope this is helpful 😊

Thanks so much! 😊 i would suggest posting photos of him online on rabbit Facebook groups maybe. You could also send me a pic of him on Instagram and I can see what I think he is. Depending on what he looks like though, it can be very difficult to know if a rabbit is purebred without knowing lineage on them. I hope this helps! 😊

Please tell me.where can i find a great silver fox rabbit, planning to have one...

how do they typically charge admissions? is it a per rabbit rate and does it vary depending on age, sex or anything?

@TealStoneHomestead

2 жыл бұрын

Typically here we see an average of $4 per rabbit per show. So for instance, if I take Sprig to a triple show (where they show multiple times in one day) he would cost $12 altogether for show A, B, and C. Some shows require the fees to be paid in advance online, and other shows require you to pay in the morning before the show begins.

Hello Ashley how's the weather over there

In order to show your rabbit at arba is it a requirement to tattoo your rabbit in order to show it? If so can you use a sharpie to tattoo the ear instead ( drawn on)?

@TealStoneHomestead

Yes, it’s a requirement to have a permanent legible tattoo in the left ear. Just a sharpie isn’t allowed and will probably get them DQ’d
