One wrong decision when buying rabbits can set your farm back for months. Many beginners lose money not because rabbit farming is difficult, but because they unknowingly buy unhealthy or poor-quality breeding stock. Before paying for any rabbit, check these things carefully: ✅ 1. Be sure the rabbit is active. A healthy rabbit should be alert, curious, and respond to movement. Avoid rabbits that sit in one corner looking weak or dull. ✅ 2. Check the eyes. They should be bright and clear, with no tears, swelling, or discharge. ✅ 3. Inspect the nose. The nose should be clean and dry. Sneezing or a runny nose may be a sign of respiratory disease. ✅ 4. Look inside the ears. Healthy ears are clean. Avoid rabbits with ear mites, scabs, wounds, or a bad smell. ✅ 5. Feel the body. The rabbit should have good body condition—not too skinny and not overly fat. You should be able to feel muscle, not just bones. ✅ 6. Check the fur and skin. The coat should be smooth, shiny, and free from bald patches, wounds, ticks, fleas, or other parasites. ✅ 7. Examine the hindquarters. The area around the tail should be clean and dry. Wet or dirty fur may indicate diarrhea or poor health. ✅ 8. Ask the rabbit's age. For breeding, avoid rabbits that are too young. Buy rabbits that are close to breeding age or already mature. ✅ 9. Ask about its feeding history. Knowing what the rabbit has been eating helps you avoid sudden feed changes that can stress the animal. ✅ 10. Buy from a trusted breeder. A reputable breeder will answer your questions honestly and is more likely to sell healthy, well-managed rabbits. Remember, cheap rabbits can become very expensive if they are sick. It's better to pay for quality than to lose money treating diseases or replacing dead animals. #rabbit #rabbitcare #rabbitbreeder #rabbitfarming - @ademolarabbitfarm
