[The Farmers' Daughter]

He had lots of cages, the ones he wanted to sell were too decrepit. But i found 6 that were not too bad and bought the 4 rabbits he had left since they were kind of bad conditions. The family is sick, he has a bad back and daughter left for college, they were hers.

Does that mean you'll need even more cages?

can you keep them from your others if they are in that bad of shape ?

The rabbits seem healthy but they stay in cages away from my rabbits. Not my first rodeo...

No, i was buying these for new rabbits when i find some i want. They need cleaning and painting. But i put these new rabbits in there for now.

Thank you for rescuing them Cap, and also a very good deed for that family.

I really was going to only take the Lop because that is a breed i have. But i felt bad for them. If i need to i can always get a pet home for them. DH doesn't know that i bought them yet. But he rarely goes in the bunny barn....

Awww glad you rescued them!

Also random question, how much do you think bunnies and a hutch combined would cost?

Because there were some bunnies at the garden center right down the street last summer and they had a sign that was like say hi to our bunnies so I don't think they were for sale but they were in a pretty small hutch and looked horrible. Nails all way over grown and just did not look happy or healthy at all and the cages were gross.

I almost called a rescue or took pictures of them to share somewhere but didn't want to start anything.

But if they are still there this year, I seriously might call a rescue OR offer him money for them and take them off their hands. I seriously doubt they care enough about them to turn down cash.

I doubt I could keep them but I hated seeing them like that.

It depends on the type of hutch and type, age and sex of rabbits, what they would go for.

That makes sense. It was just like a basic one with wire on the sides and a wooden box end and on legs with a shelf/tray or something for the poop under it. It wasn't very big. And i have no idea what type of bunnies they were. But isn't there like some common price for pet ones? Probably depends on the area too though? Maybe i should look on Craigslist

Yeah, it depends on where you are too. Just about any bunny cage is at least $30.
