Hello Permies,

I want to start by thanking the community here for all your help and advice.  One of my plans after buying my rabbits was to develop a simple application to track the rabbits and their offspring ( I am a software engineer by trade ).  The breeder I purchased from made me aware of several commercially available products that could save me the trouble.  Have any of you had any experience with these types of software?  I am currently looking at Evans and Hutch but I am open to other solutions.

Wynne

I use farmOS to keep track of a moderately large rabbitry ~70 rabbits. farmOS doesn't have any rabbit-specific functionality out of the box, but it does have a rock-solid data model for keeping track of animal locations, weights, and various other data - photos, logs, etc.

On top of that I have written a prototype tool I call "Rabbit Link" which is linked to by a QR code on each rabbit cage. The tool helps automate some of the routine data management and works offline as a PWA. The tool wouldn't be trivial to share at this point, but I'm eventually hoping to release it as a contrib module for farmOS and would be happy to collaborate if that's of interest.

Kintraks is my favorite.  Available for Windows or Linux and can be used for any species of animal you raise.  The developer is constantly tweaking and upgrading it in response to suggestions from users.   Best part is once you buy the license all upgrades from then on are free.   There have been a number of programs developed over the years and I have tried 3 or 4 of them before trying and sticking with Kintraks since the 90s.   I have used it for cavies, rabbits, and dogs but it can also be used for chickens, beef, llama etc.  Each species or breed can have their own database and you just pick the one you need.  Price is very good also.
