There are many reasons to raise your own rabbits.
Mad Hatter Rabbits is a backyard rabbitry located in Flagstaff, AZ. We grew up raising rabbits for pets and meat and are excited to incorporate this practice into our family life as adults.
We love our rabbits and treat them as family while they are with us. Each rabbit has a toy to play with and is handled by our family members regularly. Rabbits are fun!
Choosing the Champagne d’Argent, Silver Fox, Cinnamon, Mini Satin or Blanc de Hotot breeds to raise has been a combination of research and proximity. We wanted rabbits that would be attractive and enjoyable while breeding and raising them, yet also provide a healthy meat-to-bone ratio to provide food for our family as needed.
We believe that the closer you can get to your nutritional process, the healthier you are as a human being. We prefer to eat meat that is not treated with antibiotics or subject to abusive practices. Our rabbits are healthy and tasty – and, in case you were wondering, we freeze the meat long enough that we never eat rabbit we remember being personally acquainted with!
Shortly after beginning our rabbit for meat production venture we discovered rabbit shows. We really enjoy the showing process and have been fortunate enough to have a Best in Show and many Best of Breed and Best Opposite of Breed award winners within our herd!
We are a member of the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association, Inc. and listed in several rabbit breeder directories. Our rabbitry is a “closed” rabbitry, we do not allow visitors to walk through our rabbitry or touch our cages or rabbits. Doing this allows us to ensure you are receiving the healthiest, best quality rabbits possible and no sicknesses or diseases are spread.

We love to meet new friends!

I’m looking for a holland lop for my girlfriend for valentines day. Do you have any available if so how much? And how old?
I am looking for holland lops or maybe astrex. Do you have any babies? I will be in Flagstaff this weekend on March 29-30. Could I come see your bunnies?
Hi, Susan,
Thanks for your email! We are no longer raising Holland lops. I do recommend Leah of Soft Paws Haven in Prescott. She has great animals.
Have a great day!
Hello! Wondering if you have any Champagne rabbits for sale at this time? Look forward to hearing from you…Thank you!
We keep our facebook page updated with current animals for sale. (It’s just much easier to post the photos and comments using the facebook platform than this blog!)
Any Champagne d’Argent bunnys,or Breeders available@ this time? Let me know..Thank you!
Do you still sell mini hollands?
No, we don’t raise Holland lops anymore. We’d recommend contacting Soft Paws Haven in Prescott.
Hi! I have a question about your closed rabbitry – what do you do with the rabbits that you take to ARBA or 4H fairs (I’ve seen 4H mentioned elsewhere – do your kids participate in 4H?)
Do you keep them quarantined for a certain amount of time before re-introducing them to your rabbitry? How long?
Thanks!
We usually keep a quarantine for 30 days separate from our main herd.
I live in Utah, but I am interested in getting a breeding pair of Cinnamon Rabbits. Do I need to go to Arizona to pick them up or is there another way to transport them?
Hi there! We are unfortunately not raising Cinnamon anymore! There are often transport options – check out Six Guns Transport as they may be closest to you and have done several runs all over the country!
