Important Announcement
[Update: the following was an April Fool's Day joke.]
Although many, if not most, of you will be surprised, I have decided to make the following announcement:
For the moment, I would like to keep my personal reasons for this announcement to myself, although I suppose, in time, the grapevine will spread the news and the reasons, whether real or speculative.
In any case, I have decided to sell my herd in a very special way. I have always tried my best to help those new to Hollands. In keeping with this tradition, I've decided to sell my rabbits for $10 per year of the buyer's experience. That is, if this is your first year as a breeder, then you may buy any rabbit for $10. If this is your fifth year, you may buy any rabbit for $50. That way, those who have lots of experience, say 20 years, would pay $200 for the same rabbit. The advantage goes to the new breeders.
Because of the special pricing, I ask you to limit your selection to 3 rabbits per household or co-op.
All rabbits are going, and they are first-come, first served. I think this is the only fair way. All of my rabbits are listed with photos and descriptions on a new web page. [Update: I have already received several requests for rabbits this morning; please click on the link to make sure that the rabbits you want to request are still available before emailing me.]

I am selling out my entire herd of Holland Lops.

I've enjoyed so much about Hollands. It has been a wonderful experience. As I always say, there are many ways to enjoy this hobby. I hope you enjoy the sellout.
