Raising Meat Rabbits in North Carolina

[balloonflower]

Hey! How do you like foxes?

I really love my foxes. Have had a couple temperamental does, but my buck is sweet enough to visit my kids elementary school when I take the kits. Current doe is a very good mama. I have no problems handling them, but my girls do--7 & 9 years.

I have no comparison by experience to other breeds (we also have a pet dwarf hotot) but would recommend to any meat breeder.

Are you talking about actual foxes or rabbit foxes?
Oh my, I feel so dumb...

I just didn't think to specify. I love them as meat rabbits, however they have a thick, 1 1/2" black coat, which is why I hesitated to compare or fully recommended to a different climate.
