Checkout the breeds at the show but don't buy until you have had time to think about why you want a rabbit....meat....pet....fiber. When you decide to buy try to go to the breeders farm for pickup. Rabbit show are very stressful for the rabbit and since moving them to your home will be added stress why not just stress them once. That pen would be a great size for a small or medium breed, probably to small for the giant breeds. If you are going for a fiber producing rabbit, talk to someone who raises them for the fiber. Fiber rabbits take more daily care than a short haired rabbit. A matted fiber rabbit is a sad animal indeed...I have had to help remove mats from Angora rabbits who were so matted that they had to be sedated and shaved. Check out the heritage beeds of rabbits on the
www.albc-usa.org site. Rabbits are great pets and livestock, no noise, very little odor, fairly inexpensive to feed because you are not buying feed or hay by the ton. Do your research, decide on a breed, and have FUN.
