Ryan - 2004-06-26 These rabbits make great pets, I have had my guy now for 12 years. He has fathered many cute bunnies in his life, 54 to be exact. He was the first rabbit I had and I got him when I was only 3, I was the second owner but the first owner did not know how old he was when i got him. He is quite old now but i still love him and he has never had one thing wrong with him in his life, the only vet visits are his yearly check-ups. I know that he is not long for this world now but his legacy will live on in me and in his children.
Louise Anne Spartali - 2012-11-22 Are these rabbits supposed to be large in size? I have one and she is rather big.... ive tried everything and she just stays the same size!

Clarice Brough - 2012-11-22 These are pretty good sized rabbits, and reaching up to about 8 1/2 pounds is normal.
Jackie - 2008-09-06 I have a Silver Martin who is about 2 years old now. Her name is Angie and she is such a sweetheart. When I first got her she bit me, but I didn't mind. Now she's an angel. We let her out of her cage and she hops out and hops on the couch to watch tv. I don't know what I would do without my angle. She was named after my aunt who died, so I know she's an angel. She also like SNOW! Believe it or not she loves it. She doesn't really like my other rabbit, thumper. They fight so they have to have different cages. But anyways, they are wonderful.

taylor - 2012-11-25 I am haveing the same problem! I just got my rabbit in the middle of the summer and she doesnt seem to like to be held. is that normal? She has bit my mom like 2 times because my mom was trying to get her out of the cage. How do I get her to come to me more and be easy to deal with?
Pooja - 2009-06-25 I have a silver marten called Lightning. He is my first rabbit and is so sweet. I let him out every morning and evening in our back garden and he runs around. When he has enough he just comes back to me and 'asks' me to let him back into his hutch. He is also really friendly and LOVES people. When I entered him in a pet fashion show he went straight to the judges and sat right next to them!

debbie - 2008-12-02 I have a Silver Marten Buck named Mister Bun-Bun. He was a rescue rabbit that I got from a friend. He was always scared and skittish. He has a very large cage that is three stories and he loves it. He has a large nest box that I cram with Oat Hay and he makes a nice warm nest. I'm in Cali, so it doesn't get too cold here. If it gets too cold I will bring him inside. I have a cat sized crate with a blanket in it and he doesn't like to be held or picked up so I just put it at the door to his cage and he hops in because he knows he will go inside for the night. In the morning I let him back out. He never goes potty in his crate. If I am home and in my office I will open his cage and he runs all over my yard. When it's time to go back I tell him, "Bun-Bun !!! Go Home !! And he hops right up there and then I give him a Teddy Graham for being good. He is quite spoiled .... but I think he loves his life. He loves Kale.
Carlie - 2009-10-14 I have had many rabbits in the past. I've had a dutch, new Zealand, 2 mini lops, and I currently have a checkered giant which is my favorite. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old and she is now a year. I'm planning on showing a rabbit, but I have no clue what kind I want to show.

Breanna Leslie - 2012-03-07 A silver marten is a very good rabbit to show. I am getting into 4-h with my 2 rabbits and they are silver martens after my females babies grow up !!
Al - 2009-09-30 We have a Silver Marten / Lop and the mix is just adorable. Peanut is his name and he is just the most affectionate rabbit I've ever had. He is very sweet. When we rescued him, he was a biter, but we read up on how to stop that and he would never bite a sole now. He had all that love inside just waiting to come out. Rabbits want to trust us so much and just need to have the chance! Yeah to my little Peanut!
The Silver Marten rabbits, though often raised for showing, also make very loveable and charming pet bunnies!

I love them. They are the best animals in the whole wide world.
Silver Marten's are the best, especially the chocolate colered.
