Buying a rabbit
$50 holds a rabbit and comes off the price. Reservations open at four weeks old. Before that, a kit's sex and colour are still a guess, and I won't take money for a guess.
Change your mind before pickup: the $50 moves with you. It isn't refunded, because holding a rabbit means turning other people away. It moves to another rabbit or to the next litter. First switch free. After that, $25 each.
Three things get the $50 back, no argument.
- The rabbit gets ill or doesn't make it while still in my care.
- I'm the one who cancels, for any reason.
- The rabbit isn't what I told you it was. Wrong sex, a colour clearly different from the listing, not the rabbit you reserved, or it fails the health check at pickup.
Change your mind at pickup? Whole $50 back. That holds for the first rabbit you reserve. After a switch, we settle on what it cost me, fair to both of us.
Pickup is when the rabbit is ready, and eight weeks is what I aim for. Off milk and eating hay and pellets alone, eating and drinking well for a week or more, holding weight, nothing wrong. We go through the health check together at pickup: ears, teeth, eyes, weight and coat.
You leave with their food, the care sheet and my number. Two weeks of the food they're already eating, a written care sheet with the signs that mean call a vet today, the names of Tucson vets who treat rabbits, and my number for as long as you have the rabbit. No question limit, no expiry.
Pay by Zelle, Apple Pay or cash. The deposit holds the rabbit. The balance is due at pickup, and cash is easiest for that. Every payment gets a receipt from me, deposit or balance, in writing.
You can pay in parts. After the $50, the rest can be paid in any amounts before pickup, and the rabbit goes home once it's paid in full. Change your mind before pickup and everything over the $50 comes back. The $50 follows the deposit rules above.
Once a rabbit goes home, the sale is final. If it simply isn't working out, call me. That isn't a refund, but it isn't the end of it either. I'd rather help you find it the right home than have it stay somewhere it isn't wanted.
Two going home together: 20% off the second. The second is whichever costs less, same litter or not. It also holds if you buy the second, or put $50 on it, within 48 hours of the first one going home. A $50 hold keeps the pair price for a month; another $50 keeps it going, and every $50 comes off the price. One switch is free, and a switch doesn't extend the month.
10% off if you serve. Military, police, firefighters and other first responders. Say so when you get in touch.
Boarding is for rabbits I've bred, only. One rabbit is $20 a day, dropping to $15 a day after the first week. A bonded pair sharing a pen is $30 a day, dropping to $22. Outside rabbits stay out because RHDV2 is in Arizona's wild rabbits.
The long answers, with the reasons, are in the questions on the front page.
Your details
What I get is what you type. Your name, an email address, a phone number if you give one, and your message. If you text or call, your number. No account, and no cookies from me. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, counts visits with a script of its own, Cloudflare Web Analytics; by Cloudflare's own description it sets no cookie and does not follow you to other sites. I also count, as totals only, which buttons on the site get tapped and how far each page is scrolled: no cookie, no ID, nothing that says who you are, and a browser that asks not to be tracked isn't counted at all. The site's fonts come from Google Fonts, so your browser fetches them from Google too.
The form and the waitlist go through Formspree to my email. Formspree (formspree.io) delivers them to me. The waitlist also keeps your address on the site's host, Cloudflare, so you are counted once and I can email you when a litter is born.
I use it to answer you, and for nothing else. A waitlist address gets photos of the new litter. That is the only email. I don't sell, share or pass on anyone's details, and there is no mailing list you didn't ask for.
Your words or a photo of your rabbit appear here only with your permission. If you send one and later want it gone, it goes.
To be taken off anything, text or email me. I delete what I have and take you off the waitlist.
