Amy is my rabbit show buddy.  She enjoys the social part of rabbit shows. It seems like I have become "Amy's mom" because people meet her before me! She raises Jersey Woolies but has some interest in showing the Tort Mini Rex that popped out in litters this spring so look for her at the Mini Rex table!

The Rabbitry
So here it is! This is my rabbitry.  A lot of my free time is spent here either feeding, checking the rabbits over, or cleaning cages!  There are 31 cages to clean and generally it takes me about 3 hours each weekend to clean.  I use 39 gallon trash bags doubled and pay for triple garbage pick up. I go through 3/4 of a bag of shavings each time I clean.  I feed Purina 18% Professional mixed with 16% show to make a 17% feed. This is what I have fed since day one and I'm happy with the results.  I do give a treat in the mornings of a tablespoon of mixture (black sunflower seeds, crimped oats, and  calf mana).
