How do you nicely tell someone.....

I know nothing about rabbits. I don't think it sounds mean at all. Her buck isn't right for you, and wanting to see more of her stock would be complimentary. Your rabbits are amazing so I'm sure she wants to be friends with you.

Yes I agree with saying this.

Or blame it on your hunny and tell her he has said no new animals coming IN, only animals being sold OUT. He might be willing to be the meany for you.

I'd just be honest in a polite way so you don't get caught up down the road (ie. her coming to you with "You told me you aren't taking in any new rabbits, but you swapped for JoJo's rabbit..."). Something like, "oh, thank you so much for the offer. You have such a lovely buck, but I'm going in a different direction with my stock", etc.

Tell them no thank you and leave it at that, nothing more and if they persist tell them not what I am looking for.

I was looking into going into the (..insert colour here) line... so sadly he does not fit in with my goals.

If she is a friend she should accept a simple ,"Thanks for the offer,but he isn't what I am looking for.Selling any others?" If she pushes that buck I would just back off with a no,and focus on getting from someone else.

I generally find it best to answer with a simple no to things I don't want to do. Explanations complicate it.

Thing is I am looking for a fawn buck and hers is a fawn buck. Just not a good one. I will not lie. It's too tiring to remember what you said. You all have some good suggestions and I appreciate it!!!!
