Buying a rabbit?

Question

where can i buy a rabbit?

most of the website suggest me to get a rabbit from a local breeder. i couldn't find any local breeder in my area (philadelphia, PA).

I prefer small breed of rabbit (pet rabbit) such as mini lop, lionhead etc.

Answer 1

Petsmart, Petland, Petcetera. Those three stores all sell rodents.

Answer 2

i agree with susan go to petfinder.com

their are so many rabbits that need homes on there.

good luck : )

Answer 3

u should go to Petco if u have one around u or a pet shop might have some well they do where i live. If they dont ask if they know anyone who is selling a rabbit. Thats how i got my 1st rabbit.

Answer 4

I would say first check the local human societies to see if there are any bunnies needing homes that you like, if not then if you can try to wait for the local Fair to come to your Fairgrounds. I belong to 4-H so every year in August we have a fair where many people bring their animals .There you can purchase a good quality pet or show rabbit for 35 dollars or less. Don't go to a pet store those rabbits have all sorts of health issues and are super expensive. You can scan this page for local rabbitries or breeders http://www.arba.net/Rabbitries.htm the site will give you the names of the the breeders so you can look them up online or in the phonebook. If you are looking for a show rabbit look over the standard for that rabbit and then fine the rabbit the mostly matches that description and purchase it. If you have any questions about raising or more questions about buying rabbits contact me

Answer 5

lots of shelters have many small breeds. look into adopting, breeding is a horrible practice and you shouldn't be trying to support it.

Answer 6

While you CAN buy them from breeders and petco and so on. I would strongly advise against it. There are so many rabbits in need of homes and shelters across the country. And on top of it, they are far cheaper at a rescue place. And sometimes places like petco and breeders do not alter the bunnies and this can REALLY be a big issue

Answer 7

Please do not go to a breeder.

Answer 8
