About Leon River Rabbitry

Leon River Rabbitry is a family-owned rabbitry located in Belton, Tex. We currently work with 4 breeds: mini lop, mini satin, Polish, and Californian rabbits. We began because of 4-H and the children’s interest in raising rabbits. The primary owners are the kids - as they each do the work for their own breed. The adults are responsible for managing the business and making sure standards of care are met, but the children do the important work of cleaning, feeding, socializing, and grooming (with oversight of course). All proceeds go directly back to the business for rabbitry expenses or directly to the kids’ future education costs. The adults do not take any of the profits as salary. The adults do plan the rabbitry lines and breeding schedules so that each dam has time to recover properly between litters and so that the highest quality kits possible are produced.
