About Pocketful of Bunnies
Pocketful Of Bunnies is a small hobby rabbitry owned and managed by a youth breeder in South-Eastern Ohio. I strive to produce Holland Lops that conform to the Standard of Perfection, with good personalities and health. My Holland Lop bloodlines are from some of the top breeders!
I am a proud member of the ARBA and HLRSC. |
I'd like to thank Brandy from Bundles of Bunnies for being one of my biggest supporters and a great mentor! She helped me learn the right start in Hollands (after I started out on the wrong hand she helped me get to the right one).
Also would like to thank JoAnn from Sweet Stuff Acres & Rabbitry for being a great friend and helping me with my rabbits, from evaluating them to tattooing them for me, thank you! A big thanks to Melinda from The Bunny Barn Rabbitry for selling me an amazing herd buck to get my rabbitry on the right track! Thank you to Lori from Critter Zoo Rabbitry for selling me the buck that was the start to my chocolate program! He produced a beautiful chocolate son, POB's Duke. I also want to thank my friend Grace for being here for me and helping me evaluate my herd, being my supporters and just being my friends! Thank you guys SO much! I wouldn't be where I am without everyone mentioned above, SO many people have helped me, these are just some people that have helped me the most! |
How I Care For My Rabbits
Here at Pocketful Of Bunnies I feed Purina Show to my rabbits, they all have nice coats, good litters, babies thrive and the rabbits happily eat their food! I get comments on the good coat condition of my rabbits at shows. They get 1/2 cup of feed daily, some of the bigger brood does may get slightly more. Does nursing litters are free-fed and kits are free-fed until about 12 weeks old.
I also feed timothy mix hay year round, I use this hay in our nest boxes also. Molting rabbits may get BOSS and Oats if they fall out of condition or need help with coat condition, I don't give the rabbits BOSS or Oats very often because it is fattening and I don't want them super fat! Does on litters and kits do get Oats often, and they are a good reward for posing. For treats my rabbits get plain cheerios or fresh fruits occasionally. I don't give any fruits or veggies as treats before 4-5 months of age. All of my rabbits have access to fresh water 24/7, I use water crocks. Since Hollands don't require as much grooming, I only groom before shows and when molted unless otherwise needed. I use a slicker brush and black block, as well as clipping nails. Rabbits should not be bathed as it could put them into shock. Cleaning with a damp rag or dipping just the bottom in water is sufficient should it be needed. My rabbits live in 24x24 wire cages, which do not hurt them due to their thickly furred feet. Sometimes does are moved to solid bottom cages for birthing purposes but only in certain situations. My rabbits have never gotten sore hocks. I clean my trays as needed and the whole barn including cages gets seasonal deep cleanings. I show actively in Ohio and surrounding states.
