Thanks to a handful of bad apples in the last few weeks, we are going to have to make some policy changes.
For starters, deposits will now be 30%. The idea of a deposit is to prevent the buyers from wasting both parties time, and to ensure they are committed to buying the rabbit they say they will. I can’t hold rabbits for three months and then have buyers backing out.
Along those lines, there will now be a boarding fee. Any rabbit over 12 weeks old but under 6 months will have a $15 per month boarding fee. Any rabbit over 6 months will be $20 a month. That’s a little less that the cost of the monthly food bill per rabbit. All the rabbits under my care have a lot of time invested into them. Between feeding and grooming and socializing each and every rabbit, I cannot do this free of charge, especially when buyers are backing out of sales last minute.
Third, any person who decides to back out of transport, and makes the transporters jobs harder, or is discovered to be harassing transporters, will not be buying rabbits from me. Our industry relies on these transporters, as buyers or sellers. Don’t ruin it for everyone else.
I’m so greatful for all the amazing people who I have gotten to work with, and look forward to working with others in the future. But some boundaries have to be set thanks to a handful of people who don’t play nice with others. I hope everyone can understand this need for the policy change. Those who have worked with me in the past and I know I can trust, can continue to do buisness with me the same way I used to do things. But newcomers are going to have to deal with the new rules.
As an additional announcement, we will be doing a major downsize, and a lot of our keeper babies and some of our breeders will be looking for new homes now. I need to be able to free up some time for the other parts of my life. Reach out if you have a specific rabbit you are wanting.
