New Rabbit and Cavy Pictures in our Directory

This morning I spend a few hours putting some new pictures into our directory..finally.....

I have probably 100 emails or more, of pictures breeders have sent over this past fall and winter, and I was so busy with just the breeder listings that I didn't have time to work with the pictures.

Today I only put in a small sampling of rabbit and cavy pictures I've received, but are they nice ones! Check out our American Cavy page for new himi pics, our Rex page for a few new pictures, our Dutch and Dwarf Hotot pages, plus our Jersey Wooly page.

Pictures really take a huge amount of time to put in - the pictures in our directory are 250 pixels wide- I realize I am compromising loading times on the pages, but smaller pictures don't show the detail I want to see! Often people send me thumbnails or very small pictures - and they don't work because the pixels become distorted when I enlarge the photo to the 250 pixel size. Most pictures sent to me take a lot of work to crop, brighten, resize and such, then optimize to display on the web.

Speaking of loading times, my next project will be to break down all the alphabetic breeder listing pages into individual pages - instead of grouping letters A-E, for example, I'll have a separate page for each letter of the alphabet.

I haven't figured how I want to optimize the breed gallery pages yet, but yes, those pages I am sure, create loading problems for viewers still on dial-up, so I'll have to come up with a solution soon.

Well I hope you visit The Rabbit & Cavy Directory today to see our new pictures!
