Hi, I'm Katlynn, a mother of five and a passionate rabbit enthusiast.

I spent years researching and studying rabbit genetics to better understand how color and patterns are inherited. Like many breeders, I found the world of rabbit genetics overwhelming at first. But once everything finally clicked, I became determined to simplify the information so other breeders wouldn't feel the same confusion I did starting out.

Once Upon a Bunny was created to make rabbit genetics easier to understand, approachable, and practical for everyday breeders. My hope is that this book helps you gain the same confidence in rabbit genetics that it has helped many others achieve.

If you have questions about the book or need help understanding genetics, feel free to reach out.
