Does anyone know where i can get a bunny?

Question

I have all the neccesitys food, shelter, bedding, toys, water bottle, odor stuff, etc. all I'm missing is the bunny??

Answer 1

Depends what country you're in.

But a basic breakdown-

Pet shop- Local or chain, but always make sure you feel comfortable buying from a shop- that the animals are clean and healthy and the staff seem to know what they're talking about.

Breeder- May cost a bit more, is best for pure breeds, but please check the conditions that the animals are living in.

Shelter- Some people would say the best place. May be slightly older than those avaliable in a pet shop or from a breeder, and probably will be neutured/spayed (not a bad thing).

Online- Petfinder or Craigslist sometimes have them. However, they again may be older, but also may be free- but they may arrive in poor condition as some people give up animals due to health conditions, rather than legit reasons like moving house.

Answer 2

I would adopt from a local shelter or rescue, for preference.  The rabbit will come already spayed or neutered and vet checked.  If you let us know approximately where you live, I'm sure someone can point you in the direction of a rescue or shelter nearby with rabbits needing homes.

If you are set on a young baby, get it from a reputable breeder who has their kits vet checked before sending them to new homes and who keeps small numbers so they can be provided with proper care and socialization.  Rabbits should not be sold until 8-10 weeks at the earliest.  Breeders who care about their babies don't wean until close to 8 weeks and keep them for a few weeks following weaning to make sure they made the adjustment to life without mom with no issues and are happy and healthy.  If someone's selling younger, you don't want to buy from them.  

Pet store rabbits often are incubating illness, even if they seem healthy in the store.  Also, you can't see where they were bred or learn about their history, many of the 'mills' that pump out pet store rabbits inbreed and breed without regard to good health and temperament.  Inbred pet store bunnies often have temperament or health problems as they get older.  My college roommate brought home a pet store bunny against my recommendation- the little guy racked up $500 in vet bills the first 2 weeks treating an upper respiratory infection he picked up at the (supposedly) clean pet store that had 'healthy' animals.  He was also the most aggressive, standoffish rabbit I have ever encountered despite being treated with love and care, and with rabbits, that's saying something!  This is unfortunately very common with pet store bunnies.  I would avoid pet store rabbits like the plague, I have yet to meet one that was healthy and friendly.
