This 💯! Also keep in mind we have full time jobs, families, other animals and don’t just sit around waiting for you. Please be considerate when waiting for us to respond.
PSA from breeders with functioning pattern recognition: 😅 If you contact a breeder, please remember you are speaking to an actual person - not a pet store shelf.
A lot of ethical breeders spend a lot of time on their lines, protecting biosecurity, learning genetics, sitting through losses, cleaning daily, answering questions at midnight, and 100% care deeply about where their animals go.
A few things that immediately make breeders take you more seriously:
✔️ Reading policies BEFORE messaging.
✔️ Introducing yourself instead of sending just “price?” (Introducing ones self has happened more and more lately and the respect factor is 🤌 amazing!)
✔️ Saying what rabbit you’re interested in when you message.
✔️ Being honest if you’re still planning for the future.
✔️ Talking with your spouse/parents BEFORE trying to reserve.
✔️ Understanding animals bred with goals in mind is not bargain-bin shopping.
......And a few things breeders are honestly exhausted from - don't hate me... 🫣
❌ “Can you hold this rabbit." & "Can you hold this rabbit while I convince my husband?”
❌ “Can you lower the price because I don’t care about pedigree?”
❌ Asking a hundred questions just to vanish. .
❌ Wanting a breeder-quality rabbit for pet-store pricing
❌ Messaging multiple breeders at once pretending you’re fully committed to all of them. 🫣 Believe me... We know when this happens. Just be honest & say you are getting quotes.
❌ Seeing the rabbit kit is younger & questioning type due to it's age.... 🥲 Guys. You see it's a baby in the photos.
You have 2 options & these are the same options breeders are faced with too.
1.) Buy it younger, and grow it out. Base your judgement off how it looks at that moment & the parents.
2.) Buy a adult that is 5-8 months old so you can see how it looks once grown.
Anyways I digress.
Ethical breeding is expensive. Good feed is expensive. Care is expensive. Clean setups are expensive. Time is expensive.
You are not just paying for “a bunny.”
You are paying for the years behind that bunny & we personally deeply care about where our rabbits go.
Lets try to be responsible & respectful. 🤎
