Rabbitry Software Compared: Pedigrees, Litters, Imports and Daily Records
Author: Elliott Garber, DVM · Published
Choose rabbitry software by testing a pedigree, a breeding, a litter and the paperwork you give a buyer. Creatures is our platform; this comparison includes our breeder record tools alongside rabbit-specific and multi-species options, without ranking them.
| Checked | November 12, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Pedigree test | Names, ear numbers, parents and missing ancestors |
| Litter test | Breeding, kindling, individual kits and later records |
| Migration test | One known family before a whole rabbitry |
| Device test | Your actual barn phone and office computer |
| Buyer handoff | Check the document and the records that travel with it |
Start with one family you can check
Use a buck, a doe and a litter whose records are already clear. Enter the adults’ ear numbers and registered names exactly as they appear on the source papers. Check that a rabbit’s everyday name does not replace its identifier, and that two similar names do not merge different animals.
Then work through the pedigree. A polished chart can still have the wrong sire, an invented ancestor or a missing ear number. The rabbit pedigree guide covers the document, while the rabbit pedigree import checklist helps you inspect transferred data. A program’s family tree is not ARBA registration; those are separate records.
Finally, enter a breeding and its actual outcome. See how the software handles individual kits, a retained replacement and a rabbit sold later. For a keeper who prints paperwork at sale time, that sequence tells you more than a long feature list.

Which situation fits each option?
Everbreed
Best for: Rabbitries wanting litter, pedigree and task workflows together. The vendor describes browser and mobile access, digital and printed pedigrees, public listings and several import routes. Its Start price has an active-animal limit, so count the rabbits and cavies you expect to keep active before choosing a plan.
Evans software
Best for: Rabbit breeders who prefer a locally installed Windows program. Evans offers rabbit and cavy packages and describes pedigree records that run on the computer without an internet connection. Its order page states that Evans Software Services will permanently close on May 1, 2028, and that the software can still be used after that date.
Kintraks
Best for: Breeders who want desktop pedigrees across species. Kintraks runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, has a free record limit, and offers a one-time unlock. It supports CSV import and HTML/PDF pedigree output for use with an existing website.
ZooEasy
Best for: Breeders or clubs working in a shared pedigree database. ZooEasy describes an online service for all animal species, including pedigree details and record keeping. In US dollars, Single for one user and unlimited animals is $7.70/month, or $6.16/month on a yearly subscription. Multi for two or more users is $25.85/month, or $20.68/month on a yearly subscription. Prices are also shown in euros and pounds. Its pricing page supports importing Excel and ZooEasy Stand Alone files; confirm import support for your file before moving records.
Global Pedigree
Best for: Existing users assessing online rabbit pedigrees and account availability. Its own page describes rabbit lineage records accessed from a computer browser. When checked on November 12, 2026, its site said new registrations and renewals were disabled, with existing subscription expiration dates extended until renewals reopen. Check that it is accepting new accounts before planning a move. Current price, import and public-sales details remain unconfirmed.
FarmKeep
Best for: Mixed farms that want rabbit records alongside other farm species and tasks. FarmKeep describes pedigree and lineage tracking, with Basic and Premium plans. Test the particular litter and paperwork workflow you need; a species being supported does not by itself establish the form of its sale document.
Creatures
Best for: Keepers joining rabbit records with a public website and sale workflow. Profiles hold identifiers, registrations, health records, weights and multi-generation pedigrees, with breeding and offspring-group records. Creatures works in a browser on a phone or computer. It has no app-store app and no verified offline workflow promised here.
How to choose for the way you keep rabbits
Pedigrees are the main job: Print or export a chart from your trial data. Check the fields you actually hand over: registered name, ear number, parents and the source of the ancestry. Use the free rabbit pedigree chart maker to work through a chart before moving the whole rabbitry.
Litters and daily work are the main job: Try your real sequence from service date to kindling to individual kit profiles. Check how a mistaken date is corrected and whether the history remains understandable. The rabbit breeding guide and this wave’s nest box and kindling guide can help you decide which events you need to record.
You keep rabbits plus other animals: Compare how the program separates species while retaining one recognizable system for IDs and documents. If all you need is a stable roster and a few parent links, a carefully maintained spreadsheet can remain your source file, whether or not you later add an app.
You need a website or buyer workflow: Distinguish a downloadable pedigree, a public animal listing, a breeder website and a transfer of the animal’s records. They solve different parts of a sale. Test what a buyer can see and what remains private.
You need offline use: Evans documents locally stored Windows use; Kintraks is desktop software. For any option, test the particular functions you need with the connection unavailable. Do not infer offline behavior from the presence of a phone app.
Moving Evans records into Creatures
Creatures has a dedicated Evans route for WinRbro, Rabbit15 and Cavy15 XML exports. The import screen names shows, litters, registrations and production records. This is different from Everbreed’s advertised Evans HTM route; do not assume the same exported file belongs in both importers.
Keep the original export. Start with a small family, review the animal identities and parents, and inspect the proposed records before saving. Imported content still needs a breeder’s check. It is not a live connection to Evans, and it does not guarantee every field or attached file moves.
Try the current litter on Creatures
Create the dam and sire with their existing ear numbers, add the breeding and inspect the projected due date. The public rabbit gestation calculator can help with planning; the actual breeding and birth dates remain the facts you record. Keep a rabbit tattoo record consistent with each kit’s profile as your litter develops.
Profiles and records are free and unlimited. A free rabbitry website can use your records. The pricing page lists a 5% buyer fee plus 5% seller fee on a completed marketplace sale. The first ownership transfer is free; later transfers are $19.95 without Pro. Optional Pro is $499/year, or $49.95/month on a 12-month plan. Pro removes the seller service fee and ownership-transfer fee; the buyer fee remains.
Questions rabbit breeders ask
Does a pedigree program register the rabbit?
A pedigree records ancestry. ARBA registration is a separate process with its own requirements, as the ARBA registration guide explains. Keep both records without treating one as proof of the other.
Should I delete my old software after an import?
Keep your original files and a readable export while checking the result. Confirm individual identities, parent links, litters and document output before relying on the new copy for a sale or show.
See the all-species software comparison for a mixed farm, or browse the rabbit species guides for the records behind each workflow.
