Manually Add And Organize Rabbits Without Making A Mess
Manually build clean rabbit records, use statuses intentionally, and keep the herd easy to find in selectors, searches, and reports.
Manually add rabbits in a way that keeps the herd list clean, prevents missing-selector problems, and makes later workflows easier instead of harder.
8-12 minutes for your first few rabbits
Desktop: Open Rabbits from the left sidebar.
Mobile: Tap the menu button, then tap Rabbits.
- Have the rabbit's name or tattoo ready.
- Know whether the rabbit is currently Active, Grow-out, For Sale, Ancestor, or Co-Breeding.
Overview
- The Rabbits page is the foundation for almost every other feature, including pedigrees, breedings, litters, sales, cages, and shows.
When To Use
- You are entering breeding stock, grow-outs, sale rabbits, or historical ancestors.
- You need to clean up statuses or move several rabbits at once.
Step-By-Step Guide
Open the herd list and start a new record
This gets you to the main place where rabbit records are created and managed.
Open Rabbits from the sidebar. On mobile, tap the menu button first, then tap Rabbits.
- You should see your herd list and the action used to add a rabbit.
Use the Add Rabbit action on the page to open the rabbit form.
- You should see a rabbit form or modal with fields such as name, sex, breed, color, and status.
- You are now in the correct form to create a usable rabbit record.
Fill in the fields that matter most first
These fields make the rabbit easy to recognize and usable in the rest of the app.
Type the rabbit's name, tattoo, sex, breed, and color in the matching fields.
- If the rabbit has a tattoo, enter it exactly as you use it in real life.
- If a field is unknown, enter what you know now and improve it later rather than guessing.
Pick the status that matches how the rabbit is used right now.
- Use Active for rabbits you manage as current herd animals.
- Use Grow-out for juniors still developing.
- Use For Sale when you want the rabbit available to sales or storefront workflows.
- Use Ancestor for history or pedigree support without cluttering daily herd work.
- If you are unsure which status to use, choose the status that matches what the rabbit is doing today, not what it did six months ago.
Save the form so the rabbit appears in the herd list.
- You should return to the rabbit list and see the rabbit as a saved record.
- The rabbit is now saved and should appear in the main herd list.
Check that the record is actually usable
This quick verification step prevents hidden problems later.
Use the list, search, or filters to confirm the rabbit is easy to find.
- You should be able to locate the rabbit by name, tattoo, or other identifying info.
Look at the saved status and make sure it matches how you expect the rabbit to behave elsewhere in the app.
- If a rabbit later does not appear in a selector, status is the first thing to re-check.
- The record is saved in a form that should behave correctly in the rest of the app.
You're Done When
- The rabbit appears in the herd list after saving.
- The saved status matches the rabbit's real use today.
- You can find the rabbit again without guessing where it went.
Common Mistakes
- Using the wrong status and then wondering why a rabbit does not appear where expected.
- Leaving tattoos blank on animals that need to be differentiated later in pedigrees or show records.
If Something Still Looks Wrong
Why is a rabbit not appearing in a selector?
Check the rabbit status first. Many selectors only include statuses that make sense for that workflow, such as Active, Grow-out, For Sale, or Co-Breeding.
Why did a rabbit disappear from a public listing flow?
Storefront-related flows usually depend on For Sale status plus public listing settings. Verify both before troubleshooting further.
FAQ
Should I create old ancestors as full owned rabbits?
Only if you truly manage them in the app. Otherwise use ancestor records so pedigrees stay accurate without cluttering daily workflows.
When To Contact Support
- A rabbit disappears immediately after saving or never appears in the list.
- The form fails to save even after you fill the required fields.
Still Stuck?
If the guide got you close but the app still does not match what this tutorial says should happen, contact support and mention the article title, the exact step where you got stuck, and what you saw instead.
