Where to get bunnies




















Every kind of rabbit is going to be offered on Craigslist. For example, as I was writing this article I was looking at my local Craigslist pets listings and found a beautiful 5-month-old Flemish Giant Rabbit that needed to be rehomed. The bunny came with all the essential bunny gear and with no price listed there is a chance he would be nearly free to a good home.

The other issue with Craigslist is that we know that there are some bad actors on there who are setting people up to rob them during the physical transaction. I never visit their home nor invite them to my hope. My preferred place to meet is the police station parking lot. Be safe. There are people who breed rabbits as pets in every area.

These are usually healthy happy bunnies from a rabbit enthusiast who loves their bunnies very much. Most breeders have one to three breeds of bunnies that they specialize in, so finding the local breeder that has your favorite pet bunny breed might prove to be a challenge. But did you get their contact information or leave yours with them? The biggest advantage of getting a rabbit from a local breeder is that you can know everything possible about your ne w bunny.

This bunny is going to be part of your life for 8 to 15 years on average, and knowing more about them before you make that commitment is a huge advantage. Are they healthy? Are they friendly? What do they eat? Will you feed your bunny the same rabbit diet? There are countless rabbit classified ad websites on the internet, but a lot of them are so small that they are hard to find and probably not worth finding. The advantage of rabbits for sell classified websites is that you can find any breed of rabbit and they are probably raised by serious breeders.

The major downside is that these pet bunnies might be anywhere in America or the world. These farm supply stores all have posting boards that support local ag-based individuals and businesses. Want a field of grass cut and bailed? Check the posting board. Need a pasture cleared of pine trees? These folks do this for a living, not as a side-hustle. This is probably the most uncomfortable way to find a new bunny. Rabbits are one of the few animals that straddle the line between pets and livestock.

However, most people see them as one or the other. There are people in your community who raise beautiful New Zealand Whites or California Rabbits strictly to harvest the meat and fur. They will also sell these rabbits for other people to butcher, or for them to take them home as a pet. You might have come across some meat rabbit breeders at the local 4-H club. Most fairs even have categories for a pen of meat or production rabbits.

You probably also meet some at the local animal swap. I hope you have their contact information. If you can find a group of people who are homesteading, someone in that group is raising meat rabbits because rabbits breed quickly and grow very efficiently. On average meat rabbits sell for half the price of pet rabbits. Meat rabbits are usually either New Zealands, Californians, or mixed breed rabbits because of their combined size, meatiness, and beautiful fur.

We did a survey of rabbit owners and found that mixed breed rabbits are the most popular breed of pet bunnies. Donate Menu. Get help. Find us. Home Pet help and advice Looking after your pet Rabbits Where to get rabbits from.

My eye feels lots better now without the pressure I felt before. Would you like to meet Marcus and me? I was born in foster care after my mama was captured as a stray.

I have excellent litter box habits and also like to snuggle on my soft blanket for naps. I like to eat hay and pellets more than veggies, but I do like cilantro and kale. I like playing with paper grocery bags and nibbling on paper and cardboard. I am a great candidate for free roam. Request to meet me at an adoption event!

Being confined makes me very anxious. I have a fear that no one will respect my space like my foster mom does. I prefer to not be in a home with children, they make me nervous. I need a forever home with someone with prior rabbit experience, especially with rabbits who are slow to trust.

Hi my name is Nico! I love lounging all day, exploring in the evening and lots food!! I am very tidy with wonderful litter box habits.

I stay with my foster family who has dogs and 2 bunnies. I have half of the bunny suite to myself with a lot of places to hide, climb and snuggle up to get comfortable when I want to nap. I free roam when my foster family watches tv or plays Fortnite in the evening.

I have lots of energy and I love to explore. English spot mix Female Age: 6 years 4 months Weight: 6. Hello there! I'm Phoebe. I've recently returned to rescue and I'm a little confused.

My previous guardians didn't want me anymore, so they let me go in a field behind a restaurant in Mooresville, IN. Then I was adopted but a new family member didn't take to me. Even after all that, I'm ready to find my new family! I'm thankful that the IHRS rescued me from the dangers that surrounded me and provided me a warm place to live, good food, keep me healthy and make friends with me.

Sometimes, however, I miss the wide-open spaces that I had. I'm independent. I want space I can take care of myself and I've done it before, but I'm glad that I don't have to anymore. I like attention from my hoomans but I'm still working on trust issues. I don't know if I suffered trauma from my last hoomans or just turned a little wild after being out on my own.

I'm still working through that with my therapist, lol. I'm curious and playful. I also like to climb up on things. I have good litter box habits, but I always want a litter box nearby. A girl should have to go to far to go to the bathroom, you know? Sometimes I like to be pet, but I have to be in the mood.

That may change if I get to spend more and more time with you and give me Oxbow cookies. I'm very cute and I know it and I like to make you laugh.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be a lap bunny though. And I'm not really sure about bunking with another rabbit. It would take a very special one to be my roommate -- one who won't cramp my style. I'd probably like it better to have my own space. So what do you think? Do you have what it takes to earn my trust? It might take awhile, but it will be super rewarding when you earn it, I promise you that! Lionhead Female Age: 7 months Weight: 3. Hi, I'm Raven!

I was dumped in a neighborhood on the south side of Indianapolis with some other rabbits. Fortunately animal control officers and rabbit rescue volunteers captured me, and I was off to a new adventure!

I have great litter box habits and would be a great free roam rabbit. I love being pet, love all kinds of people and get along with other animals. I am as amazing as I sound!
