Good morning my Luckies!! Hope all is well!! I just wanted to take the time to relay a message to my Luckies and future Luckies!!
This is not to hate on any one person, but lately Iāve encountered quite of few of these ācustomersā are either dragging me along or are downright rude. We as breeders donāt make money in this business; we are not rabbit mills. We deeply care for our rabbits and where they go and have spent years developing our lines. We take pride in this and strive daily to make sure that whomever purchases our rabbits are happy and satisfied and that they are truly quality rabbits.
So please, respect our time and us as humans. Yes this is our business and difficult customers come along with it. Iām just asking for a little respect of our time as well.
A great point in this article is to PLEASE READ POLICIES!! They are posted as a pinned post on this page.
Thank you for your time and understanding ā¤ļøāš„
With Love,
Mandi š Lucky Girl Rabbitry
PSA from breeders with functioning pattern recognition: š
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:
āļø Reading policies BEFORE messaging.
āļø Introducing yourself instead of sending just āprice?ā (Introducing ones self has happened more and more lately and the respect factor is š¤ amazing!)
āļø Saying what rabbit youāre interested in when you message.
āļø Being honest if youāre still planning for the future.
āļø Talking with your spouse/parents BEFORE trying to reserve.
āļø 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... š«£
ā āCan you hold this rabbit." & "Can you hold this rabbit while I convince my husband?ā
ā āCan you lower the price because I donāt care about pedigree?ā
ā Asking a hundred questions just to vanish. .
ā Wanting a breeder-quality rabbit for pet-store pricing
ā Messaging multiple breeders at once pretending youāre fully committed to all of them. š«£ Believe me... We know when this happens. Just be honest & say you are getting quotes.
ā Seeing the rabbit kit is younger & questioning type due to it's age.... š„² 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 āa bunny.ā
You are paying for the years behind that bunny & we personally deeply care about where our rabbits go.
Lets try to be responsible & respectful. š¤
