Commonly asked questions & Answers

Before contacting us, please read through this entire page, as most questions can be answered here! Also, tons of rabbit care information can be found on our "Bunny Resources" tab! Thank you!
Reservation Q&A
Q: When does a litter go up for reservation, and when can the babies go home?
A: Our babies go up for reservation around the age of 5 weeks old, however it depends on the litter. About a week or so after a new litter is born, we will add the title to the "Available Bunnies" page saying that this doe and this buck had a litter, and we will add the coloring of the babies (please note coloring can change as they grow. This is our best guess! We will have correct coloring written down by reservation time, however). It will also state when they will be up for reservation, and their go - home date. Please note, all our babies will be at least 8 weeks old before leaving us. NO exceptions!
Q: How would I go about reserving a bunny?
​A: When a litter goes up for reservation on the set day/time, there will be a button that pops up above the pictures of the babies that says "Click here to reserve." If you click that button, it will bring you to a page that has basic information on the litter, and at the bottom, you'll find that you can click one of the buttons to choose which bunny you'd like the adopt. Once you've chosen a bunny, you will click "add to cart," and from there you can click on your cart and pay for your bun via PayPal, credit, or debit card. If it says "out of stock," that means that bunny has already found a home and we haven't yet taken it off the reservation page.
Q: How do I stay in the know about when new litters are born?
A: We actually have a contact list, where those seriously interested in adding a bunny to their home can go and fill the form out. Then, you will receive emails and/or texts before new litters go up for reservations. It's a simple way to stay in the know! (PLEASE NOTE: this list is not a waiting list. You will not get "priority" over others reserving babies if you are on this list. All reservations are first come, first serve). Click HERE to jump to our Contact List form!
Q: Do you sell to other breeders?
A: The quick answer, would be yes. We do sell to other breeders: however please note we have additional screening forms for those who ever plan on breeding the bunny you purchase from us. We only sell to established breeders who are knowledgable about breeding rabbits. You don't have to be someone thats been breeding for years, you just need to have already at least done the research and plan to actually have a proper setup for breeding. To see if you quality, click HERE to contact us.
Q: Do you operate a waiting list?
A: No, we no longer operate a waiting list. Long story short, it was too difficult to manage a wait list, and people would constantly not reply to our emails, making it very difficult! After lots of trail and error, we found out the easiest way to keep people in the know: our Contact List! Click HERE to learn more. 
Q: How much are your rabbits?
A: This varies on the individual rabbit. There are so many different coat colors and patterns, so that price varies. Each color has its own price, and if they are Blue eyed / Vienna marked, expect to pay a little more, as blue eyed rabbits tend to be more desirable.
​Generally speaking, our baby bunnies range from $200 - $300 and if we have retiring adults available, they are usually $50 - $150.
Q: Do you ship your rabbits?
A: Yes, we can ship within the United States. To learn all the details on shipping, click HERE to visit our shipping information page!
General Q&A
Q: Do males or females make better pets?
​A: Well, it really isn't black and white, at all. It's not about gender, it's about the individual rabbit's personality. Of course, there are minor differences between males and females physically (and they also are different when going through their hormonal stage) - but again, its about the rabbit, not the gender. We've had bunnies that were friendly, cuddly, skittish, super calm, independent, you name it - in both genders. It's tough to tell in detail a rabbits personality when they are little, because with age they grow and change so much. However, generally, we are able to tell if a bunny is more of the laid - back and chill type, or the more spunky, active, and on-the-go type, when they are still babies and here with us, and if you are curious about a bunny for sales personality, let us know!
Q: Do rabbits do better being alone, or in pairs?
​A: This is a very controversial question for sure; and there really isn't a 100% clear answer. However, after personal research and experience, we have found that as long as you can provide your bun with lots of attention and love from you and your family (humans), then a bunny friend isn't needed. If you are gone a lot, though, then a friend is a good idea. Bunnies do seem to enjoy being in pairs! Keep in mind, though, that bonding can be a long, tricky, and often frustrating process - so commitment and patience is crucial. Also, RESEARCH! Google has tons of great bonding info, just look it up! Also you should 100% spay/neuter bunnies before bonding. And keep in mind that male/male pairs aren't the best. (We have had female pairs go to homes together, where they haven't had to be separated up to the date of their spay. It just depends on the individual rabbit).
Q: Do rabbits like being picked up/carried?
​A: This isn't a black and white answer. Some rabbits will hate being held (and this means they weren't well socialized), some will tolerate it, and some will enjoy it. Rabbits, naturally, are prey animals - and therefor being way high up off the ground and carried around can scare them - and we shouldn't blame them for that. We do our very best to socialize our buns here and desensitize them to being held, but there isn't any guarantee - again, every bun is different. But, honestly, most of our buns and babies don't mind being held much at all! Remember to always support your buns chest and back feet.
Q: Are your rabbits litter box trained?
A: While our rabbits aren’t all litter trained, our mommas with babies are provided a litter box while raising their litter, and the babies catch on pretty quickly! Even so, when your bunny comes home, they may have a few accidents while settling in. Rabbits are naturally pretty clean animals, and like to choose one spot to go potty. Also, territorial poops are normal - their poops are odorless, round, hard balls of hay. Getting your rabbit fixed will probably help with the territorial pooping as well!
