With the current status quo, something will have to give. Sadly, it appears that it is going to have to be any extracurricular activities on my part that require an ongoing financial investment. What's interesting is how I've managed to keep them for almost 15 years and now it appears that may change. I don't want to go out entirely, I'm fairly sure I'd regret that sincerely since I'm happiest when I have something to breed/work with on a regular basis. Rabbits are one of the smaller, yet easily handled aspects. That leaves removing some breeds and sizing down to a more easily handled herd. The girls rabbits will stay, that's a pair of Jersey Woolies (I actually really like these, in spite of the wool they seem to be fairly easy-keepers) and a quartet of Fuzzy Lops. The Spots are reasonably good producers and pet folk like spotted rabbits. Havanas are also fairly easy-keepers and actually breed, plus we have nice ones. There's no question about keeping my Hare baby. The Hollands will be pared down to bare bones, the Mini-lops are going (they eat too much and grow too slowly), and the Mini-rex I have not made a final decision as of yet. They are the longest breed in residence, yet somehow they are not what I would have envisioned.
It may be a little while yet before some of these are implemented.
