ND Rabbits Colors

Do any of you know of a great website that shows ever color of ND's?

I was asked to start raising these little bunnies before next year. I did have some of these little bunnies but only had 3 of them an people was almost fighting over them. So now I'm going to have to change part of my herd around. Will have my meat rabbits, mini lops, NDs and mini rex. We decide to cancel the order for Lionheads since they may not be a good seller.

Thanks for any help you can provide on a website about ND Colors.

I'm wanting to see what colors they come in an what they look like so I can get ready to send in a order from a big breeder for close to 30 since the ND only have 2 babies so that means I have to double my order for breeders.

I think you'll enjoy this site. It'll keep you busy for a while. Lots of color information, and it says 4 per litter, so you may want to start smaller and grow into what yours produce. Have fun!

Lots and lots of colors! LOL I don't know if I'd want ND...I hear they're loads of problems getting them to breed, have live babies, plus you get the whole peanut thing.

Which may explain the expensive price tag on the ND too.

I'd choose well mannered does, plus I would almost pick the BIGGEST does you could find, over Sr weight if possible. By that I mean large in size, not fat. The get SMALL bucks. Viola! Does who have an easier time breeding and babies of the proper size. Or so I read!

Thanks for that one website link you gave me. Do you all know of any more that all great information?
I'm studing up everything about these small bunnies. I wished I had more a couple days back because just the 3 I had was kits and people was about ready to fight over who got them.

I'm not passing up the chance of raising these types of bunnies for more money for our family. The main sellers are the ND, Mini Lops and Mini Rex for here. So when I got asked to start breeding these little bunnies I said Ok.

Just now if I can find more sites with all the information I need.

One other thing to keep an eye on with ND; teeth. I don't know if it's still a problem, but 15-20 years ago when we dabbled in raising and showing them, bad teeth were a big problem. Just something to keep an eye out for when choosing breeding stock

white eagle, I simply did a google search using the keywords Netherland dwarf rabbit. That link was the first one on a long list of links. Do a search and you'll get plenty of information.
