Sales Policy
Betty's Bunnies Sales Policy - (UPDATED 3/20/2025)
First and foremost, PLEASE do your own research before committing to adopting a rabbit. Rabbits are long-lived companions, that require daily care and attention. They may live up to or over 10 years old! I am more than willing to help and aid in care and set up, however, I am under the assumption that you have done your own research. I have got a bunny tip page, but please also do additional research of your own! ❤️
• Our rabbits are held and sold on a first come, first serve basis. I also reply on a first come, first serve basis. If there are two or more inquires of same rabbit at the same time, the first person to send deposit will have priority. Other(s) will be notified of updated status, if still inquiring.
• Please text me, message me on Facebook, or email me if you have any questions or inquires (best contact - bettysbunnykins@gmail.com)
• Our goal is to better type and quality to meet ARBA’s SOP of the breed, and to have quality rabbits that are extremely lovable. I also work with different colour programmes and heavily with rabbit genetics. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Our rabbits are great for those who are into showing, 4H or FFA, or who are just simply looking to find a new member to add to their family!
• Please let me know if you’re looking for a potential 4h/ffa rabbit, as I would rather set you up for success than a pet quality rabbit that is unable to show.
• Our website is updated frequently, including available rabbits. I do ask you to check these tabs out before asking what is available. If nothing is posted, this means we likely have no available rabbits. However, please email us as we may have a Sr, a growout that we may be moving on, or some nun who hasn't made it to the website (yet).
• Rabbits are either "potential show/brood quality" or "pet quality", in what is my opinion. We cannot guarantee show placing, even if rabbit has placed with us.
• Proven/brood rabbits will be clearly marked.
• True show potential cannot be known for any rabbit under the age of about 12 - 14 weeks (even then still have growing to do), but may have a general idea on how they grow. They may still change dramatically as a Sr. compared to how they are as a Jr. Some rabbits may win legs as a Jr, but may not get too far in their Sr career.
• Price depends on type, quality, age, sex, colour, placing if shown or judged (legs, g.c., etc.), and may differ per bunny. Bunnies may even differ in price per litter and within. Our Netherland Dwarfs start at $120 and may range to $300. Our Holland Lops start at $140 and may range to $400. Prices will be clearly marked.
Please do not expect a show potential/quality rabbit at a pet quality price.
• Pedigreed rabbits may differ in price per rabbit, even within the same litter (depending on qualities, sex, type, etc.).
All rabbits that are pedigreed, pedigrees are available upon request*.
*We may ask proof of ARBA, proof of student being FFA/4h, and/or proof/references that you are reputable within the rabbit community for the pedigree if we are unfamiliar with you.
• Pedigrees do not determine quality or placement on a show table.
• Rabbits without pedigree will be clearly marked. Non-pedigreed rabbits will have a birth certificate instead (if bred at Betty's Bunnies).
“Pet” rabbits will be sold with no pedigree.
• We do occasionally move on (retired) Sr. rabbits that may be looking for a new home. They will be pet only (no pedigree), and may be at a much reduced price than listed.
• Sometimes a rabbit may be priced lower than price listed in this policy for a reduced price, sale, deal, or discount, or may be priced higher than listed.
Please do not openly ask for a discount.
• Price may change at any time, but will be done PRIOR to any interests or commitments. Please do not ask for a different price other than what is listed.
• We may change prices around holidays, such as Easter or Christmas, to avoid rabbits who are just being gifted as presents. Rabbits are long-lived companions and require as much attention, care, treats, food, wants and essentials as any other pet.
• Prices will be clearly marked.
• A 50% non-refundable deposit* is required to hold a bunny. Rabbits are reserved on a first come first serve basis.
If something happens to your bunny while in our care, we will refund your deposit or may transfer to another bunny (if available), whatever you decide.
*If you place a deposit and change your mind, your deposit will not be refunded.
• Deposits may be transferred to another rabbit if another rabbit is currently available, or you may wait until another is available.
• Under our discretion, we may hold as a credit towards another rabbit. Credit is subject to expire 6 months after change of mind.
No monetary return will be given for any deposit.
• Deposits may begin being accepted at 6 weeks of age, but no rabbit leaves until at least 8 weeks old.
• If deposit isn't received within 48 hours, you may lose the opportunity of reserving the rabbit, and we may move onto the next potential adopter.
If there are two or more inquires of same rabbit at the same time, the first person to send deposit will have priority. Other(s) will be notified of updated status, if still inquiring.
• I accept payment through Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and of course cash. (Please send via friends & family to avoid fees please).
Form of payment will be sent when ready for deposit.
• Gender mistakes do happen. Genders are not guaranteed unless a Sr. I do continually check their sex up until they leave my rabbitry.
We do ask for you to verify this upon pick up.
• If gender is incorrect and you were wanting the opposite sex, we may offer a different rabbit or provide a credit for a future rabbit after confirming incorrect sex. No exchanges will be given after leaving our care. If sex is incorrect prior to leaving, we may offer another rabbit that is available of correct sex in place, or you may opt to wait for the correct sexed baby of a future litter and get first pick.
No monetary refunds are given if incorrect gender.
• Tattoos will only be done if requested by new owner (for no additional fee - rabbit must be over 12 weeks old), if rabbit doesn't already have one prior to purchase. Otherwise, rabbit will have no tattoo. A legible tattoo is required in the rabbit's left ear for showing in ARBA, FFA and 4h.
• Rabbit will come with transition food and possible toy made by us (if we have any in stock/made).
• We are located near Dunnellon/Ocala, FL, but we are a closed rabbitry and do not have visitors. We can meet in or around Dunnellon/Ocala or may work with 3rd party transport.
• Meeting must be scheduled ahead of notice, and be done in a public area.
• Anything outside of Ocala or further than 30 minutes, we may ask for a delivery fee, or recommend transport options. You are responsible for your own transport - setting up, paying for and collection of the rabbit.
We can recommend transporters if needed.
• Bunnies come in a cardboard box (unless coming by third-party transport), however, you're welcome to bring your own carrier. I recommend doing so, especially if you are making a long trip.
• We do occasionally work with transporters. No refunds will be given for rabbits that get sick on transport. We guarantee good health of the rabbit prior to leaving or for transport. Once a rabbit leaves our hands and is transported by anyone other than us, we have no responsibility whatsoever for anything that could potentially happen to the rabbit in transport.
• Transport is to be paid for and set up by you. I may offer recommendations, but you must set the actual transport up. You must bring your own carrier as they usually do not have them. We are not responsible for any conflict between you and transporter.
• A 50% non-refundable deposit to hold bunny once transport has been set up. Full payment must be received prior to dropping off for transport.
• If for some reason you cannot keep your bunny, I will gladly take them back. No questions asked. However, no refunds will be given. You may also try to rehome the rabbit, but I just ask to please just let me know.
• We guarantee that the rabbit is healthy at the time of sale. The health of your rabbit is guaranteed on the day of sale/transport pick-up as follows: There are no visible signs of disease, diarrhea, eye or nasal discharge, malocclusion, infections, wounds, abscesses, broken bones or other deformities. We cannot guarantee that the rabbit will not pick up an illness, ailment or injury during its lifetime or during 3rd party transport.
We do not take rabbits to a vet prior to sale (therefore, there are no medical records), unless requested by you and in this case, you are required to pay the full bill. Rabbits are dewormed and given anti-parasitic topicals prior to leaving.
• If you have any major questions or concerns down the line, we advise you to go to your local veterinarian, or you may try contacting us. We are not responsible for any vet bills, vaccinations, or spaying/neutering.
• There is no required vaccines for the state of Florida. There are optional vaccines that can be given, including RHDV2 and pasturella. These are recommended if outside the state of Florida (RHDV2), or if the rabbit(s) lives outdoors. This can be given by a specialty rabbit vet.
• If the rabbit passes away under your care, we are not responsible for a replacement. If they do for some reason pass away within 3 days after leaving, we may replace the rabbit for you under our discretion, however, no monetary refunds are given. You are responsible for travel/transport. Proof is required of passing if replacing.
• We will not promise rabbit’s personality, fertility, or promise wins or successful production.
• We cannot guarantee what a Jr. will look like as a Sr., nor can we guarantee how well a rabbit will place on the show table. I cannot guarantee that any rabbit will win at a show, even if we have previous wins. I also cannot guarantee any rabbit sold will be a good breeder or a good mother, even if they have produced well for me. I will be honest if rabbit is proven with me or has not had any successful litters or kits.
• We have the right to stop a sale and/or cancel a sale at any time for any reason. If we cancel a sale, we will offer any refund of payments that had been made previously.
• Total amount must be paid in full before taking possession/setting up transport of the rabbit.
• No refunds are given, but if so they are under our discretion and per circumstance.
• Betty’s Bunnies reserves the right to make changes to their sales policy at any time without any notice to applicants or potential customers. However, shall be done prior to any commitment.
• By submitting payment, you understand and agree to the sales policy.
