I no this is a pro rescue forum, and my rabbits are all rescue, but I just need some advice on what to do.. and I hope someone can help me.
Thanks =]
My friend has just got a new baby Dutch, female rabbit Called Poppy.
He has been wanting to get a rabbit for a while so i was pleased for him when he finally got one.
The thing is, i have two Male rabbits, One's a Dutch (Dizzie) like his and the other ones a Netherland dwarf (Max. )
He was talking to me today saying how he wanted to breed Poppy with either Max or Dizzie, and he was saying that way he could get £15 a pop or more for the babies and then possibly keep one of the babies and then if it all went smoothly and he sold all the babies he could breed Poppy again and then her baby with Max or Dizzie and then get more money.
I just felt he was taking advantage of my two males to make a small gold mine for himself. And i'm sure my males are gonna feel a bit hard done by, having a female rabbit and then him not being able to see her again or anything, as it think animals sometimes do actually bond like we do with their "partners".. and his rabbit poppy my feel a bit scared having babies all on her own?
I said why don't you just buy a male then you can breed them when ever you want if you really want to breed them and he said he was thinking of doing that, but he will see how financially it all goes with breeding them with mine first! After all, he said he doesn't have much money or a job, so breeding her will give him more money to care for her better... and i was like what!
I feel rather bad for his rabbit as he obviously can't really afford to look after her and hes just going to use her for breeding as he dznt have any money.
But i don't no what to do or say to him.. I don't want him to breed with my rabbits as mine are all rescue .. but do you think i should let him breed with my rabbit?..i mean i don't know if i should be allowed to have some of the babies off him? as max is a pedigree and his babies would cost loads if I decided to breed him one day.... not that i'm going to but you no..
Dunno what to do ='[[
