X.... can get loads of smokey mountain redbacks .. i believe they are the same that are referred to as smokey mountain cottontails because they look like a cottontail (and run like one also). The man I get my rabbits from says he can get them for around 5$ or 3$ if you buy a bunch.

For 3 bucks apiece Id buy about all of em I could get my hands on.

I havent had any luck finding anyone around here that has any.

I bought some off this forum called knotheads and plan to try and raise a few of them but they were pretty young so its gonna be awhile.
