Meet the Rabbits
Page last updated Sep 23, 2026
Standard Rex
Our focus is shifting toward the full-sized Rex. A breed that offers everything we’ve loved about our Minis and adds the kind of practical qualities that make sense for a working homestead. The Rex grow quickly, reach a solid market weight with ease, and produce larger litters that let us meet our needs with fewer breedings per year. Their hides are thicker and easier to work with, yet their fur stays every bit as plush and velvety.
Beyond their production traits, Rex are steady natured and easy to handle. They stay calm around children and farm life, making them a perfect fit for our hands on, family run operation. We’ve chosen them for their balance. Gentle temperaments, efficient growth, and versatile value.
We started off with show quality pedigreed stock and plan to keep that quality in our offered breeding stock.
Giant Chinchilla
We’ve added a pair of gorgeous Giant Chinchilla rabbits to our rabbitry for their gentle nature, impressive size, and classic silvery coats. These rabbits are calm and patient by temperament, growing into large, sturdy animals that still handle easily and stay friendly even as adults. Both come right up when we open their cage wanting pets and loved on.
The Giants are known for their fast growth, balanced build, and beautiful, dense fur. Their size makes them an excellent choice for the table, providing a generous yield of mild, tender meat. While their pelts are sought after for tanning thanks to their unique silver shading and durability.
We appreciate how dependable they are as mothers, often raising larger litters without extra fuss. Their steady, easygoing personalities make them a pleasure to work with, and they complement our Rex herd perfectly, sharing the same calm temperament and practical, dual-purpose qualities we value.
Our Giant Chinchilla breeding stock pair are both show proven rabbits, with both Rose Quartz and Vulcan Farm's Zinc earning ARBA Grand Champion legs. Zinc has also earned Best of Breed and Best Opposite Sex honors. They compliment each other very well.
Breeding Experiment
Satin x Rex
We purchased two gorgeous chinchilla colored Satins from the same breeder we got the giants from. She was getting out of rabbits and the price was too good to pass on, so here we are. What to do with them now that we have them, though...
They are about the same size, weight, and build as the Rex, a little bigger, and wider. We did experiment with crossing the breeds. The pros were a very nice sized rabbit, larger and faster growing than pure Rex. The Satins are a bit more flighty and just aren't as friendly and it unfortunately did not breed out in one gen.
We did end up with one keeper that is reasonable for handling seen here. She has very nice structure. We may just end up with a line of really nice meat mutts while seeing if we can get a Rex with Satin fur without compromising the Rex fur or temperament. She really has some nice heft and width to her.
Mini Rex were a great way to get started with rabbits here. They’re smaller, calm, and easy to work with and their coats are unbelievably soft and plush. We’ve learned a lot from them while refining our setup and building out our future rabbitry plans.
They helped us get the rhythm of things down. Housing design, feeding systems, and how to manage breeding cycles smoothly. They’ve also given us a few nice harvests. They may be small, but there is more than enough on one bunny for our growing family.
We did keep a couple as a backup since they've been so reliable for us, but we do plan to move completely to the full size after this season if the standards prove themselves.
