Buying a rabbit
A $50 deposit reserves a rabbit and comes off the price. Reservations open the day a rabbit is listed; I list one once it's photographed and I've checked it's in good health.
Change your mind before pickup? The $50 moves to another rabbit. Or to the next litter. It isn't refunded, because reserving a rabbit means turning other people away. Your first switch is free. After that, each switch is $25.
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 color clearly different from the listing, not the rabbit you reserved, or it fails the health check at pickup.
Change your mind at pickup? The $50 isn't refunded. It comes back only for a reason that's my fault, judged on the facts.
Pickup is when the rabbit is ready, on the day I set. 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.
Free delivery anywhere in Arizona, any day. Long drives go on a weekend. A $50 deposit books the trip, and before you pay anything we can do a quick FaceTime video call with the rabbit. I bring others along, so you can still switch when you meet them, and your first switch is free. A long drive on a day you pick? Once the rabbit is ready, I'll drive it to you that day, for a price we agree on first, fair to both of us. A delivery goes the same way as a pickup: the health check together, then anything still owed. Heat is the one thing I'm firm about: if a trip isn't safe on the day, we move it. Outside Arizona, it has to go with a ground shipper: text me first, and we'll set up the transport together and find the quote.
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, or cash at pickup. The deposit reserves the rabbit, by Zelle. First come, first served: I call you and request the payment, and it's due within an hour of my call, or I go to the next person in line. Pay the rest when you pick it up, or on a payment plan. Cash is easiest at pickup. Every payment gets a receipt from me, deposit or balance, in writing.
You can buy on a payment plan. If paying all at once is hard, that's what it's for: you pay over time and still take your rabbit home. Text or call me, and we'll work out a plan that fits you.
Once a rabbit goes home, the sale is final. If it isn't working out, I'll take the rabbit back, at any age. Some money may come back, depending on whether I can resell it with confidence; I'd rather have it back 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 applies if you buy the second, or put a $50 deposit on it, within 48 hours of the first one going home. A deposit is for a rabbit you're buying, not for holding one. For a pair from a litter on the way, we talk it through: buy from it right away, and I can still honor the 20%.
10% off for military and first responders. That includes police and firefighters. Show your ID at pickup. It works on anything here, boarding too, and stacks with any other offer.
A purebred's pedigree and ear tattoo, at no charge. I never charge for either.
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. The first day of every stay is free; you pay from the second day. 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 (opens in a new tab) it sets no cookie and does not follow you to other sites. I also count, as totals only: which pages are visited, on a touch screen or not, and where each visit came from in one word (Instagram, Google, a shared link, never the address); which buttons get tapped; how far each page is scrolled. No cookie, no ID, nothing that says who you are. A browser that asks not to be tracked, by Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, isn't counted at all.
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, with the litters you picked and what you asked me to send, so you are counted once and hear about those litters.
I use it to answer you, and for nothing else. A waitlist address gets what it asked for: an email the day a litter it picked goes on sale and, if it asked for every update, that litter's new photos. 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.
