Frequently Asked Questions

At what age can rabbits go home?

Rabbits typically leave for their new homes between 8-10 weeks of age, after they are fully weaned and evaluated.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A deposit of 50% is required to reserve a rabbit. Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferable at my discretion.

Do your rabbits come with a pedigree?

All of my rabbits have a pedigree. However, if a rabbit is being sold as a pet only a pedigree will not be included. Individual listings will specify if a pedigree is included.

Can I visit before purchasing a rabbit?

No. We are a closed rabbitry to ensure the safety and health of our rabbits. However, pictures and videos can be sent by request before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. My goal is to find the best fit for your family.

Can I be placed on a waiting list?

Yes. If I do not have the rabbit you are looking for, I can add you to my waiting list for future litters. Wait list names will be contacted first.

Are rabbits good pets for children?

Rabbits can make wonderful family pets when supervised by adults and handled gently. Every rabbit has its own personality, and I am happy to help match families with a rabbit that fits their lifestyle.

How to care for your rabbit

  • I offer hay daily, either Timothy, Orchard, or a blend. Alfalfa is too rich for most rabbits. I feed Kalmbach 16% non-GMO Rabbit Feed and recommend continuing this feed whenever possible. It is available on CHEWY. However, in the event you do not want to feed this feed, a well-balanced complete feed’ is necessary for your rabbit’s health.

  • Fresh water should be available at all times. Rabbits may drink from either a crock or a water bottle.

  • Provide a clean, dry enclosure protected from extreme temperatures and predators.

  • Most rabbits naturally choose a corner to use as a bathroom. Place a litter box (shallow pan) there with rabbit-safe litter (I recommend equine pine pellets). When they are still learning I recommend cleaning it every other day so that the smell is fresh. If they have an accident outside of the box, pick the droppings up and put them in the box to reinforce. This is a tedious process, but fairly simple!

  • Introduce new treats slowly and in moderation. Fresh greens should be offered in moderation and I recommend waiting until they are at least 12 weeks old.

    Safe Greens include:

    • Romaine lettuce

    • Green leaf lettuce

    • Cilantro

    • Parsley

    • Dill

    • Mint

    • Basil

    • Bok choy

    • Dandelion greens

    • Carrot tops

    Occasional Treats:

    • Apple (no seeds)

    • Banana

    • Raspberry

    • Blueberry

    • Pear

    • Small pieces of carrot

    Young rabbits under 6 months should have their greens introduced slowly. If your rabbit develops soft stools after introducing a new food, discontinue that item and return to hay and pellets until their digestive system stabilizes.

  • Allow a few days for adjustment and limit handling initially.
