New Rabbits at Loki Farms - Giant Chinchillas & Satins!
After more than a year of waiting for the right Giant Chinchillas, the stars finally lined up this month. We reached back out to a breeder we’d been working with, and learned she was stepping away from rabbits and had exactly two breeding-age Giant Chinchillas left - a buck and a doe, unrelated and from her show lines.
Naturally, we made the trip.
Naturally, we didn’t come home with just two rabbits. 😂
Along with the Giants, she also had two Satin rabbits available, and between their sheen, their temperaments, and her “closing the rabbitry” pricing… well, we couldn’t resist. The best homestead plans occasionally involve saying “we’ll sort this out later” while loading cages into the truck.
So now in the rabbitry we have:
Giant Chinchillas (breeding age, unrelated)
Zinc - buck. He has a great, relaxed temperament.
Rose - doe. Who is so sweet and rode home on my lap.
Satins (breeding age) Amy, and the buck still needing a name.
Both are Chinchilla-colored
This gives us a very promising base for both pure Giant Chinchilla development and Satin-based pelt projects with the Rex. Between the Giants’ size and calm temperament and the Satins’ silky coat genetics, 2026 just got a lot more interesting.
For rabbit folks keeping score at home - our current Standard Rex lineup includes:
1 Black doe, still needing a name
1 REW doe, Alice
1 Tort buck, Buggs
Our remaining Mini Rex will be staying long enough to raise their current litters, and then they’ll be moving on to new homes as we shift the rabbitry toward larger dual-purpose lines.
For now, everyone is settling in, enjoying hay, and wondering how many rabbits we’ll “accidentally” bring home the next time we leave the farm.
