The Bunny Chat Thread - For Bunny Owners

Then you won't have to worry about them mating, or fighting for dominance. They could kill each other if not bonded correctly and spayed or neutered.
Please do not get a rabbit, or multiple, if you cannot give them the best life possible. It's not fair to them.

It sounds like it's either a scam or something similar to a puppy mill, but with bunnies. If you take them you may be saving those if you can care for them correctly but it will just be feeding into a horrible situation for other rabbits.

So I’ve been reading the last several pages and have some questions.
-Why are you asking around whether or not you should buy these? It sounds like you have some doubts.
-You say you are experienced with rabbits, but that doesn’t gel with the questions you are asking. Rabbits WILL maim or kill each other fighting and they WILL fight if “free range”.
-The lady could be getting out of rabbits for a variety of reasons, but that really does sound ridiculously cheap. Fine, so this one isn’t a question, but it is questionable.
-give it very serious thought and decide if you have time for everything that’s been mentioned AND if you have the money to take them to the vet when necessary. You will also want to check your local laws, just in case.

Well, lol, I think you have your answer, and then some. What exactly is your level of experience?

Ultimately it’s up to you. She’s going to get rid of them somehow.

we are getting them tmrw. she lives an hour south of us. I don’t believe she is bad or she is selling bad animals, i think she managed them wrong and they have too many. it’s one of those situations where they are giving up their whole brood stock for personal reasons. she is advertising them for $20 each, it’s just I talked the price down

I know its wrong to keep rabbits in a cage with that type of floor as it sits on concrete blocks because it will lead to sore hocks, They will be out of those cages by morning when the pen is completed. I would have been completed by now but I had a small bout of food poisoning (very minor) and it made me feel less than productive. The male will likely end up in a large cage with the female living in a large 4x8 pen like my other female rabbit. 32 square feet for the females because they will be raising kits and the males get 9 square feet in a cage with frequent walks on a leash.
