The American Beagler Forum

is the tennessee cottontail and smokey mt. cottontail the same if not which runs the best ?

As far as i know... they are all the Appalachian Cottontail.

Do a search on cottontail sub species, and you will find about a dozen varieties!!

good luck,
Lone Pine Beagles

To answer your question, of all the cottontail species. The swamp rabbit would probably run the best. But a michigan buck cottontail in march is tough to beat!!

would san juans be in this group, thanks

No, San Juans are a completely different specie than that of the cottontail. All tame rabbits derive from "the european rabbit" which is what overan Austrailia! San Juans are related to the European.

The Europeans are diggers, and they say San Juans also dig.

Cotton tails find old woodchuck holes etc. to hide in.

hope this helps, i was curious too and looked it up on google.

I have a rabbitry and have own both. I think the Smokie MT run the best
I have several of them and turn them out to have rabbits in my area to run to cut the drive time down and sale many in the area to people to train young dogs with.

Shooting match,
Drop me a line at Duke00buck@yahoo.com I am interested in buying some rabbits.

HOW MUCH A PIECE IF I BUY 10 OR MORE?

How about arkansas red rabbits any one know anything about them???

I do not know of any rabbits that are nameArkansas reds' but will ask the other rabbit breeders. I will sale rabbits for $6 if you take 10 or more I sale alot of rabbits all over the state I'm in West Ky most of spring and the East part of the state during the fall. I have started to breed for easter
right now and will have young by next week.

Shooting Match I called the guy that has them for sale, and i also did a little research on em. They are Arkansas Swamp rabbits i looked it up and that is what the man told me they were.

After they are weaned off the female, whats the best way to tell if they are male or female.

Flip em over and look.
Here is a link that tells ya how.

I would like to try some new rabbit I still think the small tame rabbits run better the bigger rabbit seem to get worn out to fast. I breed these smokie Mt and try to keep the smallest to rebreed to tring to make them
fastrer. Try some or the Arkansas and let me know. I can get wild rabbits young and put them with some of the rabbit I have that are tame, but the can raise them to about 4 weeks and the wild takes back over and the sit with there face to a wall of the cage and quit eating???? I just take them out and turn them lose. I think I gave the last two I had to Ruffus
for his Pine Mt Running lot.

I might try a few but if not im going to get some Smokies.
