How to enter a rabbit show - join me with my silver foxes and creme d'argents!

[@FarmGirlInProgress]

This was really helpful as I'm considering going to my first show in February. It makes me really nervous, because I may need to go by myself and I've never done this, eek! But I really want to know what quality my buns are.

[@lesliegood7782]

Thanks so much for this video!! Me and my 13 yr old daughter are new to showing Holland lops and this was great info.

[@redtrinitygirl]

I started showing rabbits four years ago and it was pretty confusing.. this video would of been helpful back then.. :) The lady who helped me at a show raises really nice Silver foxes.. Congrats on your wins! it's not easy to do.. you must have a good eye for meat breeds.. Glad you shared your wins, it makes me even more interested to follow you now..

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Ooh what area are you in? I have several mentors to thank for my knowledge here! ☺️ I think we’re planning on going to nationals in Georgia in March. I don’t expect to win anything but it does sound fun 🐇

[@redtrinitygirl]

@@TealStoneHomestead Grants pass Oregon.. she does Lilacs that I'm in love with and if I did a meat bred they would be it.., Rock Hill Rabbitry.. check out her lilacs.. I think youtube removed my commit..

@@TealStoneHomestead Like-wise! ^^ I was also gonna ask what age you were but that would be disrespectful. More like about that chinese zodiac signs that you were born under. I felt guilty asking that!

Haha no worries, I thought that was an interesting question! 😊 I just turned 29 though 😊

Wow, this is honestly one of the most accurate things 😂 I don’t usually read this kind of stuff, but how fascinating! Thank you for sharing! 😊

That’s so cool - I’m in Jamestown, IN - just NW of Danville, IN - definitely want to ck out show 💕

[@TealStoneHomestead]

You should! Lots of shows around that area! 😊

Congratulations on the Show Wins! Another Job Well Done! I don't think your Husband was to crazy about getting up at 4 am though? Lol

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Who in the world is crazy about getting up that early though, haha. Thank you! :)

[@HKAdams-c7z]

Can you choose your own numbers for your bunnies? I'm new to this still learning

[@InaStanley83]

Could you talk more specifically about how to pose rabbits for professional photos and shows? And what to look for once posed to determine if a particular rabbit may be developing into show quality? That's what I'm having the most trouble with, and surprisingly there aren't many step-by-step videos out there. We have pedigreed SF from champion lines, and are *hopefully* expecting our first 2 litters early-ish December. I'm trying to get a better idea of how to pose and evaluate kits once they're weaned, and plan to practice on my current breeders. I want to enter shoes, but right now I'm not even sure if it's worth trying with any of the breeders we have because I don't really know what to look for.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

That’s a great idea! If you have time to join me live tonight, I’ll have some rabbits with me, just remind me in the chat! If not, that is something that I can go into more detail in the future. I talk about it a little more in my “meet my silver foxes” video. Shows are also a great way to get an opinion on growing juniors! Hope this is helpful 😊

[@InaStanley83]

@@TealStoneHomestead thank you so much! What time do you go live? I should be available to join but want to make sure there's nothing conflicting.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

@@InaStanley83 5:30pm EST tonight. So a little less than 2 hours. Hopefully it goes well, I haven’t done it in a really long time! 😊

[@thatgothfarmer]

What size transport cage do you use? I’ll probably do quite a bit of long distance traveling and want my silver foxes and American Chinchillas to feel comfortable.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

recently I have been upgrading to a larger size (I believe 11” wide by around 22” long).

[@thatgothfarmer]

@@TealStoneHomestead I believe I ordered the one that’s 9” wide and 18” long, I’ll definitely order the bigger sizes in the next order. Thank you for your input!!

[@TealStoneHomestead]

@@thatgothfarmer that’s what I got to begin with. It’s definitely not bad for juniors but anyone 10+ pounds is a bit squished when you add coop cups and everything. But I still use it and just take them out a lot at the shows 😊

[@WilsonsAdrift]

Thanks for the shout out. 😊

[@TealStoneHomestead]

You bet! 😊

Hello Wilson how's the weather over there

[@mdovertay]

How long do your hutch lights stay on at night? Do you only turn them on when you’re going out to check on them?

[@TealStoneHomestead]

They are just on to extend the day. I turn them off around 10pm (or whenever we go to bed).

[@southern_gemini7472]

I followed the steps you listed to enter a show, and the show secretary said Watch For Event Page. I wasn't sure what the next step should be.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

I would email the secretary back and ask her where the event page is. Ask if she has a link maybe.

[@regiearaneta8824]

Please tell me.where can i find a great silver fox rabbit, planning to have one...

[@ehsanihomestead]

how do they typically charge admissions? is it a per rabbit rate and does it vary depending on age, sex or anything?

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Typically here we see an average of $4 per rabbit per show. So for instance, if I take Sprig to a triple show (where they show multiple times in one day) he would cost $12 altogether for show A, B, and C. Some shows require the fees to be paid in advance online, and other shows require you to pay in the morning before the show begins.

[@steveanthony8653]

Hello Ashley how's the weather over there

[@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230]

In order to show your rabbit at arba is it a requirement to tattoo your rabbit in order to show it? If so can you use a sharpie to tattoo the ear instead ( drawn on)?

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Yes, it’s a requirement to have a permanent legible tattoo in the left ear. Just a sharpie isn’t allowed and will probably get them DQ’d

[@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230]

Can I tattoo a rabbits ear if its older like a year old or 2years? How do I prevent it from hurting?

[@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230]

To show a rabbit does the tattoo have to be letters and numbers or either or and how many numbers and letters?

[@bonnieweber4251]

@@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230 there is a numbing spray you can use. I get mine. from a beauty supply store.

[@bonnieweber4251]

@@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230 It can be either letters or numbers or a combo of both. There is no minimum or maximum amount. Just needs to fit in ear and be readable.

[@egormc5919]

I believe i have a creme D'argent but im unsure since he was purchased without me present to ask a bunch of questions. I was wondering where you can go or what to do to find out the breed if anyone knows of anything :) also great video congrats on the win!

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊 i would suggest posting photos of him online on rabbit Facebook groups maybe. You could also send me a pic of him on Instagram and I can see what I think he is. Depending on what he looks like though, it can be very difficult to know if a rabbit is purebred without knowing lineage on them. I hope this helps! 😊

Do you still raise silver fox?
