Important Notices:
- Butter's current litter ALL SOLD OUT ! (FAWN COLORED, see home base, pictures are in the slide show)
- Check the MATERNITY WARD! Contact me anytime to be put on my Call List, this list ensures you'll be notified first when litters are born, it does not ensure you a rabbit, we require a deposit if you want to ensure you'll get a rabbit otherwise they are first come first serve.
- My rabbits are typically sold at a flat rate of $50.00 each. This price may vary in special circumstances due to quality of lineage, or a flaw in the rabbit (i.e. imperfect or non-breed standard coat color).
- Rabbits of mixed lineage will be sold for less at our discretion. Purchases of multiples will be taken into consideration when pricing rabbits for a customer.
- Expectations :
We breed very few pairs at a time to ensure proper attention, care, and love to each family of rabbits. Each of our rabbits are held and examined every day. They are raised with other pets to ensure they are not timid. We do all we can to produce good personalities and proper socialization of each rabbit. We will never sell any rabbit showing any signs of aggression or that expresses an overly fearful personality.
All of our rabbits will be healthy to the best of our knowledge at the time of sale/re-homing. Any rabbits showing outward signs of illness, disease, or genetic defects will not be sold for any reason.
Rabbits will have a one week limited health guarantee. This guarantee will not include any illness or injury afflicted to the rabbit once it is out of my care such as stress, abuse or neglect, injuries from other animals, heat stroke or freezing, etc. If we can trace an illness the sold rabbit displays symptoms of within the first week back to my rabbitry, we will refund your money. We do not pay vet bills.
We price our rabbits very fairly according to other comparable rabbitries, demand, and quality. We do however reserve the right to change the price of listed rabbits at any time before a deposit is placed.
Rabbits may be listed with three different types of status:
Available- These rabbits are available for purchase. They do not have a deposit or a current proposed purchaser.
Held- Held rabbits have a deposit on them and will not be available unless a sale is canceled.
Sold- Sold rabbits have been paid for in full and are not available. No rabbit will be considered sold until balance is paid in full.
Once a rabbit is listed as available we will entertain inquiries. If you decide at any time to purchase an available rabbit from us we will require a minimum deposit of $20. Deposits are non-refundable. If for any reason you can no longer purchase a rabbit after a deposit is made, the deposit will go toward the care of said rabbit while we find a new home for it. Rabbits will not leave our rabbitry until they are at least 6-8 weeks old (depending on breed type), no exceptions. We sometimes will hold a rabbit longer to better assess its potential. All rabbits are considered property of Down the Rabbit Hole Rabbitry until they leave our rabbitry regardless of whether or not a deposit has been made. Any Balance must be paid in full before or at the time of pick up. Rabbits will be sent home with a care sheet, as well as a small amount of hay and food. It is imperative that you slowly switch your rabbit’s food to ensure proper transition.
We are available at any time to answer questions and address any concerns you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time because even the smallest issue may affect your new rabbit in a big way. Be sure to call or text Amanda at 860-982-0673.
What we expect from our perspective new rabbit owners…
We wish to know our rabbits will be going to a loving home. We expect all buyers to provide attention, food, shelter, clean fresh water, and love to your rabbit at all times! We may request a brief survey from our purchasers to ensure they are properly suited for our rabbits. We also request that you research the Flemish Giant, New Zealand, or Californian breed before making your final decision (based off which rabbit breed you are inquiring after).
We will offer our rabbits with three options, pet quality, brood quality or show quality.
Pet quality rabbits are not to be bred. We encourage you to spay or neuter rabbits kept as a pets. If at any time you feel you can no longer care for your rabbit please return them to us, we will do our best to find a new home for the rabbit (this is a better alternative to a shelter which may after a time put even a healthy happy rabbit down).
Brood and show quality rabbits may be sold with a pedigree (if applicable). When purchasing brood or show quality you are also buying the breeding rights to that specific rabbit. We do not guarantee that a rabbit purchased from us will win at a rabbit show or become a champion. We also cannot guarantee that a rabbit will be a good breeder or mother.
Again, if at any time you can no longer provide your rabbit with adequate food, water, shelter or attention we wish to be contacted. We would love to keep in contact too; nothing is more exciting to us than seeing pictures of our rabbits full grown in their loving homes!!! (Please note: returning a rabbit does not mean a refund of purchase price or any part off purchase price, it is the new owners responsibility to care for the rabbit relinquishing the rabbit back to us gives us complete ownership of the rabbit again unless specific arrangements are made, the rabbit may become stock at our Rabbitry or resold to a new home). - Policy on Homesteading:
- While we do encourage homesteading I personally would like to make it clear that intending animals for processing does not mean that those animals should be treated with any less dignity nor does it mean we expect any less from the customers intending to buy rabbits for that purpose, rabbits should be kept with adequate space to live and thrive in. They require clean conditions with fresh hay, pellets, and water daily. We encourage owners of rabbits to socialize the breeding pairs that they purchase. If you need help or have any questions concerning homesteading or our policy on it be sure to contact us @ 860 982 0673.
Thank you !
