The pens and fittings are all set; the next task before us is selecting good breeding stock without being suckers in our first attempt. Where do I find breeding stock to buy? When buying you have the option of shipping/transporting your breeding stock from a far distance or from the breeder near you. The best procedure is to go to your nearest producer and select from his younger stock even if you have to feed the animals awhile before they mature (at six months). They need time to get used to you and their new home. The thick issue is that one has to be cautious, this can be done with the help of a trusted breeder, who will help you to select quality start up stock from the stock they have for sale. Most often, you will have the opportunity to see, touch and feel the rabbits or see photos of them before purchasing them.
