Who We Are
We are an aunt and niece team living in Seattle, WA that began breeding rabbits together in 2018. Ever since our first litter of Netherlands we fell in love with raising rabbits. Seeing each of their little personalities develop since birth is a joy, and with a few years of rabbit 4H and ARBA show experience behind us, we decided to start our rabbitry in earnest. It took plenty of trial and error, but over time we dedicated ourselves to constantly learning and improving.
Our Values
Health, Temperament and Type
Health, Temperament and Type
Health
Our number-one concern in breeding rabbits is raising healthy, sound animals. Every rabbit in our care is fed a balanced diet, groomed, exercised daily, fussed at and loved on. Because Luna Park is a small operation, every animal regardless of age is treated as a beloved companion first and foremost. Healthy animals are happy animals!
Temperament
Temperament is hugely important in our barn. It’s easy to fall in love with a rabbit for its cute face, but a truly well-rounded rabbit is not only adorable, but calm and friendly as well. Genetics and socialization both play a role in a rabbit’s temperament, so our breeding program focuses in on both. We take care to breed rabbits we feel are stable and docile, and raise kits with human exposure and gentle, positive interaction from day one. Because these are prey animals, it takes some extra effort to gain their trust, so starting early ensures the highest chance of producing wonderful rabbits.
Type
“Type” or “Conformation” both refer to how physically correct a rabbit is when compared to the Standard of Perfection, a guide written by the American Rabbit Breeders’ Association (ARBA) to document the specific attributes of all rabbit and cavy breeds. Just as dogs were all bred for different purposes, so too were rabbits, and those specific purposes are apparent in the physical structure of each rabbit breed.
At Luna Park we stress the importance of breeding for exceptional type- we realize that perfection is entirely subjective, but the standards put forth by ARBA are to specifically ensure that only structurally sound, top-quality animals are allowed to reproduce. Many breeders will throw random rabbits together just to create cute babies, but we strive to do better. Our rabbits are 100% purebred, and we take pride in the lines we use in our program.
