Jack the one-day foster rabbit

Jack is a foster rabbit that is staying with me tonight. Tomorrow, her (yes, Jack is a she) new family will be picking her up already. She haven't ventured out of her cage yet. She does seem to be a sweet rabbit though. As I've been able to pet her in her cage and she would just melt down. Her coat is soft and comfortable too. I bet she's great for snuggling!

If you may have noticed, the cage she came with has wire flooring. This is really bad for their feet (just imagine standing on those wire all day yourself) and I should put down a towel or something for her. But I don't have any extra at the moment and I'm keeping the gate door open, so I'll let that slip for tonight.

What's in it for rabbit breeders?

Seeing the many rabbits up for sale on the local buy/sell directory got me thinking about the rabbit breeders. I am curious as to what motivates rabbit breeders out there to keep breeding rabbits. It's not like they're making much money with rabbits selling for $20 or so in pet stores. I'd imagine there are probably so much work involved in breeding rabbits. And if they really love the rabbits, as many would tell you, how can they be selling them to strangers? From my experience in fostering Coconut, it was difficult to let her go even knowing she's going to a rescue approved family with their insane background check. So for the breeders to be selling so many babies to people like they do, I highly doubt any of them really love their rabbit at all. It's like telling people you love your kids even though you're selling them to a sweat-shop. Just wondering.
