"The secret to getting ahead is to focus your energy not on fixing and fighting yesterday, but on building and growing something new right now."I'm sure most of you may have noticed by now that I have put a stop to selling or offering pets. This decision was not one that was taken lightly but it is a decision that I feel is best for my program. As each generation continues to grow, I have to make the right call for what is best for the animals I produce in my program. Sadly, due to a lot of backlash and bad dealings, I made the decision to stop offering or selling rabbits as pets. Don't get me wrong, I have deal with some amazing pet owners over the years but unfortunately, the bad has outweighed the good. For the past year, I have had rabbits come back extremely malnourished, riddled with infection, people breeding them when they were never rehomed for that purpose and even harassing phone calls, text messages and emails of people demanding I give them a pedigree. I have decided to take an alternative route for rabbits labeled as pets in my programs so that I will no longer have to deal with the stress or concern of if they are in the right homes, homes that are taking care of them. From now on, I will only be offering breeding or show rabbits and that is all. I know that this announcement has come to a blow to some of you that have purchased pets from me. For those that has purchased pets and have been amazing customers, I truly want to thank you. Without you guys, I would have shut down this idea way quicker than I did. You guys have been awesome and I still stand by, "if you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask".
I know some of you are wondering what alternative I have decided to take for the "pets" now and I will not hide it, they will now be terminally culled, correctly so they will never suffer. Their bodies will then be either sent to help feed wildlife at sanctuary's, raw dog food or reptile food.
