Hi all! We are new to this group. My daughters and I are wanting to help promote the Silver Fox breed and increase numbers. We looked at all the rare breeds...
Welcome to our world! I think you'll find, (as I have) that S.F. breeders are a open and helpful lot, and very willing to pitch in advice when needed. I am...
Hi, Heidi! I have 3 new litters of Silver Fox kits that will be for sale in the first half of January. One litter is out of one of Patsy Butcher's (Washington...
Deb, You may recall me contacting you this summer about Silver Foxes. If you don't have me on you list, add me. I have been able to purchase nine SFs from five...
Do you know how much it would cost to ship to mid-Michigan? I would like twoor three jr does(at least one blue) and a jr buck if it's not to much. Everything...
Hi all. My doe just kindled last night. YAAA! My first litter of SF's, but not her first litter. She took one out today and it has a bite mark on it's head....
Yes blacks can through blues. Blue is "recessive" meaning you need two dilute genes to make it. Both parents can carry one dilute gene to make blue :) Hope...
Thank you Ryan!! Yes that helps. The dead baby was a black. .. but I like both colors and am in love with this breed!!! :) Amy, Juneau, WI American Heritage...
... Congratulations! ... Yes, two blacks can throw blues *if* they both carry the recessive blue gene
And you can't tell that by looking at them. If they...
Ok, maybe yes or maybe no on the blue color. Dam has a great grand-parent w/blue, but she also has a grand-parent that was WHITE?? I don't know what the Sire's...
Thanks to everyone who replied to us regarding finding SF. We have some good contacts now and will hopefully bring some Silver Foxes home this spring! Heidi...
The animals I've shown so far have been complimented by judges on fur quality. I think it's really good, but I'm still a novice, too! they certainly meet...
Sent that incomplete by mistake... sorry. Sadie's doe who was BOB youth at the convention, would have been best fur, but we didn't enter her. I was ...
I have a friend who breeds the Rex breed, however she really loves the traits of the Fox. Has anyone tried to cross these two breeds and if so what were the...
Would introduce a whole lot of genes..........self tort etc; Ryan M. Connors District 7 www.randcrabbitry.com ... Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday...
Hi! Actually, it would cost too much to ship them when it's this close. It would only be about a 3-4 hour drive to come get them, when they are ready to go to...
I used to raise Rex rabbits and I would not recommend crossing them with the Silver Foxes. The main claim to fame of the Rex is the unique fur. It is very...
Ya your not really that far away as I thought if your that close to the border - what would you want for 2 black does, a blue doe and a black buck? Let me...
This morning I found one of Jeff's does dead in her cage. No sign of
illness, no warning that this was going to happen, no idea why. However,
she had a...
I know this sounds weird. But let those kits nurse of the dead mom. They did it with horses. Let them get all the milk that is left in her out. Don't do it...
Hi, Sorry about your doe. We have had good luck using canned goat milk for a litter of Mini Rexes. We have found it at large chain grocery stores in the baking...
Remember, everytime you crossbreed purebred animals you reduce the number of purebreds available. With Silver Fox being rare should we be eliminating those...
... Ann, My SF does are only bred to SF bucks, I can't see wasting a potential SF litter on "experimentation." However, my SF bucks still have plenty of down...
So far so good. The bunnies are still active and alert. They have hay to
nibble and I crushed some pellets and blended them with the quick oats. They seem...
If they're drinking water independently, why not try a little of your milk replacer in a water bottle or pan. I am always amazed at how quickly the little...
I am SO sorry you lost your doe, but yes, the babies can be saved! On my website, I have a formula for orphaned bunnies, that works for both domestic and wild...
You really need to keep the little ones warm at this point! I have a small picnic basket that has a locking lid that I use for my house orphans. It is made of...
I wouldn't recommend crossing Silver Fox with Rex. Aside from all the color genetics problems, you would certainly ruin both the fur and the body type. Keep...
I'm wondering if most of you keep your rabbits indoors or outdoors? Are most of you buying housing or making your own? If your buying housing where are you...
