Rabbits are a huge part of my
life. They give me thrills, chills, tears, laughter, joy, and oh the list
could go on! Four years ago I made a presentation about rabbits. Why? Well
I really wanted rabbits! So how else should I ask my parents other than
giving them the entire array of what fluffy bunnies would entail. And
I guess it worked cause here I am now.
So where did this cuddly fascination
begin? I have always wanted livestock, unfortunately the price and upkeep of
livestock never wanted me. But at my local youth fair years ago, I discovered a
sweet alterative: small livestock! You see rabbits can be kept for a very
economical price. Per pound it is cheaper to raise rabbits than goats, sheep,
and especially cattle. Rabbits are multi purpose with many uses. They are also
small, and easy to handle. Plus we cannot forget about the simple fact that
they are as cute as can be! Thus my journey of rabbits began, and grew. The
first year I made lots of mistakes; I did not truly understand all the
possibilities of the rabbit world. Ask me what a wry tail or a BOB was and
I would have stared blankly at you. Lucky for me there were many experienced
minds willing to invest in this newbie.
