Our sales policy at Kitchen Farms Rabbitry + Homestead
DEPOSITS:
•Deposits usually begin when the bunnies are 3-4 weeks old.
•All deposits are half down to hold the bunny of your choice.
•I have a right to refuse the sale at any point for any reason. If I do, a full refund will be given.
•We require a picture of your bunnies living area to make sure our buns will be well taken care of. If you do not send a picture, or the set up does not meet our standards. I will refuse sale.
•We will not hold a bunny without a deposit.
Deposits are made on a first come first serve basis.
•Once a deposit is made, it will NOT be refunded. Deposits are only transferable if something happens to original chosen bunny while in our care.
• If you decide to pay the deposit in full, it will NOT be refunded.
• If you decide you dont want or cant take care of you bunny anymore, you are REQUIRED to contact us first. We like to know where our bunnies are going.
•We accept, cashapp, Venmo and cash.
Meetings/Pick ups:
• Pick up is preferred. I will only be able to meet within a certain distance or meet with transporters occasionally.
•All customers are responsible for arranging transporters and cost.
•If we are meeting with you personally, we will give you a 20 min wait period- If you can not make it, we will not meet again but you may pick it up at our home. If not, your bunny will go back up for sale.
•If you are picking up from our home, please arrange a set date and time with us to make sure we are available. Again, we will only give you a 20 min waiting period. If you can not make it, you can reschedule one more time to pick up your bunny. If you can not make it a second time, your bunny will go back up for sale.
Health:
•Our bunnies are healthy to the best of our knowledge when they leave our care.
Please address any concerns you have at pick up.
•Once a bunny leaves our care, it is no longer our responsibility if your bunny gets sick.
•We are not responsible for any vet bills.
•If your bunny shows signs of illness, please take him/her to the vet asap.
•Bunny poops should round balls. If you see any diarrhea, please call your vet and withhold pellets until then and make sure he/she has plenty of water and Timothy hay.
Feeding:
•Timothy hay is 80% of your rabbits diet and should be provided at ALL times.
•Our bunnies get 1/2 cup of pellets once a day.
•Bunnies will come with a bag of their transition food.
•We feed our bunnies Blue Seal ShowHutch abbit pellets, which can be found at Tractor supply.
•Wait until 4 months before SLOWY introducing veggies. Any sooner can cause diarrhea and tummy upset.
•We mainly give our rabbits water bowls and on some occasions, a water bottle. Just see which your bunny prefers more.
Housing:
•Bunnies can live indoors and outdoors.
•If you bunny will be living outdoors, make sure he/she is in a shaded area.
•Make sure you cage/hutch is off the ground and secure so that predators can not get in such a snakes, stray dogs, etc.
•Ceramic tiles and fans work great in the summer to keep your bunnies cool.
•To keep them warm in the winter, make sure to provide them with warm bedding and a hideyhouse to escape the cold wind.
•If your bunny is inside, dog exercise pens work great as bunny cages and provide lots of room for your bunny and they are cheap!
•Bunnies can also be free roam and litter trained, just like a cat!
•Regardless if your bunny is indoors or outdoors, make sure they are getting plenty of exercise or attention! They need just as much as a dog or a cat would.
Litter training:
•Your bunny will pick a corner he/she likes to potty in the most. Simply put a litter box in that corner and fill the hay with bedding of your choice. Aspen, pine, or paper bedding work great! (Do not use cat litter, it is toxic to your bunny and very dusty!)
•You may place your bunnies hayvinto the litter box because they will eat and use the bathroom at the same time.
•Spaying and neutering your bunny will also help tremendously with their litter training and/or bonding.
Other information:
•We do not promise show or breeding results.
•Color and gender is to the best of our knowledge and do our best to make sure this is all accurate but please understand mistakes happen.
•Do not release your bunny into the wild. They can not survive on their own.
•Do not take your bunny to the shelter. Most of them will be put down. Please contact us before doing so.
•Do not bathe your bunny. Rabbits are naturally clean animals and can keep themselves clean. Bathing will cause lots of stress to your bunny.
•We can not guarantee 2 or more rabbits will continue to get along as they get older. •Spaying/neutering helps with bonding rabbits.
• Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you
