Good evening everyone, thanks for your patience in waiting for a response from me through private messages.
Unfortunately one of my children is currently hospitalized after our family picked up a cold recently. I've not had the energy or time to respond to messages regarding rabbits as I usually would, but I aim to list the available kits on trademe this weekend for everyone to see.
I will post the link to the trade me listing here on my page, and from then I will respond to inquiries when I have time to attend to them, giving priority responses to those people who have already been so patiently waiting for weeks or months now for one of our beautiful wee babies.

Although I will respond with priority to those who've waited for the longest already and have demonstrated that they can provide a wonderful home, I do also run a first in with their deposit system.
A 50% non refundable deposit is required to hold a kit till collection date, which is 8 weeks of age.
This current lot will be 8 weeks old and ready to collect on the 10th of October, an organized collection will be set at a specific time period on the Saturday the 11th for people to meet with me to collect their new baby 😊
An alternate time may be made if things change here and I can no longer do this date, but all people with bunnies on hold will be notified with as much notice as I can give.

Thank you again for your patience and your understanding 🙏🏻 💞

Is anyone missing a rabbit?

I’m always flooded with the comments “Adopt, don’t shop.” This phrase has been repeated so often that I sometimes wonder if people truly understand an ethical breeder’s point of view. The truth is ethical breeders do not cause flooding in shelters & here’s why:
•Our breedings are intentional, not random-
Every pairing is planned with purpose — whether to improve structure, preserve traits, or strengthen lines. Unlike backyard breeders or impulse owners who are in it for the money, we don’t create litters without knowing where each kit is going. Ask any ethical breeder if they actually make money on their stock- the answer is no. Most of us are in the red- but we do this because we enjoy it.
•Culling closes the loophole-
It prevents weak, sickly, or poorly structured rabbits from being passed along into the general population. This isn’t about cruelty — it’s about responsibility. By making hard choices, ethical breeders keep problems from spilling into rescues and rehabilitation centers.
•We lock in genetics and preserve breeds.
Many rabbit breeds would be extinct without breeders dedicated to preserving them. Ethical breeding protects genetic diversity and ensures future generations can enjoy healthy, well-typed rabbits instead of losing these lines forever.
•Health is a top priority-
Bringing in a rabbit with hidden disease into a rescue facility may save one life, but it can jeopardize dozens of others. Ethical breeders focus on strong immune systems, sound body structure, and healthy lines so that rabbits are not only beautiful but also healthy.

I do not condone crossbreeding, or breeding under age rabbits.

Please don't lie to me about your rabbit getting fixed prior to collecting a new bunny that you intend to house with your existing rabbit.

Little Willow was underage when she was bred to a male of a different breed, who was supposed to have been fixed mid march.

Im very disappointed to find out this has happened.
Please be responsible with your pets.
If you wish to breed mini lops please be open with me about it so I can help guide you.

Our adorable squishy queen, Veritas moon is looking for a new castle to rule!

Veritas moon is a 5 year old seal point doe with a sweet disposition.
She's looking for a home where she will continue to be 'top lady' and rule the throne.

She would be open to sharing her royal quarters with a single male bun who's been fixed already, or potentially could be bonded with another female given the time and space to form a strong bond with one another.

Veritas is a very special girl, and has a large part of my heart, and will be sadly missed here, so I will only let her go to a home I feel will cherish her, as she deserves to be.

She does have a tendency to hold her weight very well so a healthy diet is important for her to insure she doesn't gain too much weight.

Please send a PM if you wish to inquire.

Hi everyone!

I've been getting a lot of enquiries lately asking for lops, I do currently have a couple of adult rabbits available at the time being, but no kits here till it warms up a little more 🥶

Come spring we should hopefully have something special to offer those who are patiently waiting for their new family member.

I will prioritize people who have shown that they can provide an excellent home and have done their research into proper rabbit care, compatible pairs and general knowledge about rabbits.
If you haven't yet done these things get into looking at what owning a rabbit means now, so that you may make the right decision for your family 😀

They are adorable, but they aren't for everyone so please do your research first before committing to giving one of our beauties a home.

If you wish to be on my radar for potential homes for our spring 2025 kits, please send a PM tell me all about your family, your experience with rabbits (new owners are always welcome 🤗) and what setup you would like to provide for your new bunny.

Every now and then I receive the most wonderful messages from the families that I have the pleasure of sending my beautiful bunnies too.

Goose is so well adjusted in her home and is living her best life!

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you and share my appreciation for not only your family Charlie, but to all of our bunny families who are loving their buns the way they should be! You guys are the absolute best!
One of the best parts of what I do is seeing how Happy the buns are in their homes, and how much joy the bunnies bring to their owners lives 🥰🥰🥰

If you would like to share your bunny story please do so in the comments below ### I always love to hear how everyone is doing 💖🐰
