Super excited to welcome two litters in just over a week! Praying and crossing our fingers all goes well and the weather stays warmer for us! We are expecting a litter of chocolates out of our Slovak Import chocolate buck, Kohan and our Canada/UK import chocolate steel doe, Lucy! We are also hoping for a beautiful litter of sables out of our Canada/UK import REW doe, Sweet pea and our Siamese sable buck, Bruno!

I’m so ready to have babies here again!

PENDING
Miss sweet Caroline is still looking for a retirement pet only home.

🆓 to the right home, will be very picky on where she goes

She has refused to produce babies for me over the past few years and now is just getting to be an old girl so we don’t want to try for babies anymore. She’s a super sweet old girl and has come a long way since we’ve owned her! It breaks my heart having to let her go because she’s such a beautiful, special girl! She’s around 5 1/2 - 6 years old so we aren’t sure just how much time she’ll have left, it could be anywhere between a few months to a good few years! She’s very healthy and still has a bit of s***k in her step! Would just love to find a retirement pet home for her to live out the rest of her days.

She will not be hoping on transport and will only go locally. I’d hate to put this old girl through the stress of transport.

Please PM me if you’d be interested in giving sweet Caroline the retirement home she deserves 🩵

I just had to share this because so many people despise REWs (red eyed whites) for their appearance but they are the sweetest rabbits on the face of the planet! I’ve owned multiple over the years and never ever had a single mean REW colored bunny. Not to mention they carry a gene that always tends to make them massive!

:::::::PLAMONDON GIANTS SALES POLICY::::::

(Please read before inquiring about a rabbit)



🐇WELCOME TO MY RABBITRY PAGE 🐇

Here you will find all of the info you need to know about my pricing, how to purchase a rabbit and what breeds I have available at my Rabbitry. Located in Ravenna, Michigan.

BREEDS I CURRENTLY HAVE IN MY RABBITRY



:GERMAN GIANTS:

:CONTINENTAL GIANTS:

:NETHERLAND DWARVES:

:BELGIAN HARES:

I strive to breed excellent quality rabbits that are healthy and would make wonderful pets for families looking for a rabbit to join their family.

:PRICING:

GERMAN GIANTS: starting at $650-$800+

CONTINENTAL GIANTS:
Starting at $300-$400+

NETHERLAND DWARVES:
starting at $50-$80+

BELGIAN HARES:
Starting at $50-$100+

The bunnies will be priced accordingly to coat color, patterns and markings and quality. All rabbits will come with pedigree papers/lineage that I have available for them.

:RESERVING A RABBIT:

If you are ready to welcome a new furry friend into your home here’s what you’ll need to look for. I will open a “RESERVING WAITLIST” as soon as the baby bunnies are old enough for me to be able to tell which gender they are which is around 4-6 weeks of age (this may vary with different breeds) At this point I will post each individual picture of the available bunnies for you to choose from on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. The bunnies individual pictures will have all of their information available in the description and will look something like this:

Breed: Continental giant
Gender: Male
Color: blue
Price: $300
Availability: Available

If you are interested in reserving one please send me a message to reserve the bunny of your choosing and I will hold him/her with a non refundable $50 Deposit for you until they are old enough to leave their momma and go to their new homes. I ask if you decide you no longer want that bunny please contact me and let me know asap so that I can find him/her another home. I will not ask why you don’t want the bunny anymore I will just simply say “thank you for letting me know” if you do decide to back out on your own accord the $50 deposit will not be refunded.

:NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS:
:HOW THEY WORK:

I will now be requiring a $50 Non refundable deposit down on the rabbit of your choosing. This is to ensure you are serious about picking up the rabbit you have claimed.

How does this work? When you claim a rabbit from me I will now require a $50 non refundable deposit down in order to mark that rabbit as reserved for you. The deposit does come off of the total amount of the rabbit and the remaining balance will need to be paid upon pick up or week of transport. This deposit is non refundable if you back out of said rabbit or fail to stay in contact with me. The only time the deposit will be refunded is if something happens to the rabbit while still in our care. In this case the deposit will either be refunded or you will be given the choice to put your deposit towards another rabbit.

:TIME AND DAY HEADS UP POST:

Because I do everything on a first come first serve basis I make a special post for everyone stating the day, time and certain litter/s that will be posted for reserving/claiming. If you are looking forward to a specific bunny out of a specific litter then be on the lookout for my post. I’ll post a day or so prior to listing bunnies so you have a chance to put it in your calendar or phone.

:SCHEDULING A DAY FOR PICK UP:

About a week or so prior to the day your bunny is able to go to their new home I will be contacting you to set up a day, time and place where we can meet up so you can finally bring your new pet home.

:PICK UP LOCATIONS:

For our family’s safety, our rabbit’s safety and bio security reasons we will no longer be allowing pick ups at our farm. We have two locations for picks ups which I will list below. If you are concerned about not being able to see the parents of your bunny don’t fret! Just ask and we can bring mom, dad or both along when we meet for a pick up!

Pick up Locations

SHELL GAS STATION
125 68th Ave S, Coopersville, MI 49404

WESCO GAS STATION
3321 S Slocum Rd, Ravenna, MI 49451

We are also willing to drive a little further to meet within reason but it will cost extra to cover Gas money.

:LATE PICK UP BOARDING CHARGE:

When I post bunnies up for claiming/reserving there will be a date posted in the description on when they are ready to go to their new homes. If the bunny/bunnies are not picked up within a week of their ready to go date I will be charging a boarding/care fee of $5 per bunny every extra week they have to stay with me. I will only hold onto a rabbit for one extra month tops after their ready to go by date. The only exception is if we have transport scheduled for a little further then a month after their ready to go date but there will still be a $5 boarding charge for every extra week the bunny stays with us as it still costs us to feed your bunny as they are awaiting transport.

Growing bunnies eat a lot! And as they get bigger they eat much more! That is why I have a boarding fee if I have to hold your bunny for a few weeks extra. It helps me pay for the food that your bunny eats daily.

:PICK UP DAY:

On the day of picking up your bunny you will be required to PAY IN FULL UPON PICK UP.

I will not sell a bunny if I suspect any form or illness or issues only healthy bunnies will be leaving my Rabbitry.

Your bunny will be given a dose of Bene-Bac probiotic to help them keep healthy guts with the stress of transitioning to a new environment.

Please make sure you bring a box, cage or something to keep your bunny in on the ride home.

Upon pick up I will have a bill of sale for you to sign and will provide you with a copy of it as well as myself for my records. It states that the animal is payed in full, healthy and that the animal is no longer my responsibility (vet care, feed, etc.) once the bunny leaves my care.

It is your responsibility to pick up the bunny you reserved. We do not offer a delivery service, So please be aware of our location when reserving a bunny and be prepared to pick it up from our location.

:USING A TRANSPORTER:

We are more than happy to work with a transporter to get your bunny to you if you live out of state! But this doesn’t mean it’s our responsibility to set up a transporter to come pick up your bunny and deliver it to you. It is buyer’s responsibility to find a transporter that has space for their bunny. Transporters normally have specific spots/cities that they’ll travel to (which is something you’ll have to discuss with them) The closest town/city near us is Coopersville, MI. I have no problem meeting a transporter there and won’t charge an extra gas fee if I meet a transporter in Coopersville, MI. Our preferred Transporter is Hooves to Paws LLC, they are based in TN. it may be a little challenge to get transportation from Michigan to the state you live in depending on location.

:DEPOSIT FOR TRANSPORTED RABBITS:

If we are meeting with a transporter to ship your rabbit to you we will require a $50 non refundable Deposit on the bunny you reserved. The $50 deposit will be taken off of the bunnies total cost it is not an addition cost. We also ask that the bunny is payed off the by at least the day before transport arrives. If the bunny is not payed off by the time of transport pick up day you will be forfeiting your deposit and your bunny will not be hopping on transport.

:TRANSPORT DISCLAIMER:

Please note using a transporter can be very stressful on a rabbit if they are in transport for long periods of time. It can also put them at risk of disease and illness that they can pick up from other critters riding on the same transport. We are no longer responsible for the well being of your rabbit once it hops on transport. If your rabbit does pick up an illness or disease or even passes away during transport unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about it. No refunds will be offered as we have no control over the wellbeing of your rabbit while on transport. This is why it is very important to choose a transporter carefully and read up on their reviews!

:SHOW QUALITY RABBITS:

As most of you know we are not show breeders. Now this doesn’t mean that we don’t breed for a standard! We believe even if you aren’t breeding to show it’s still best to breed a great quality rabbit! But because we are not a show breeder we DO NOT guarantee show quality rabbits.

:WHAT IF THE GENDER FAIRY VISITS?:

Sexing baby bunnies can be a tough thing! We try our very best and check every week leading up to pick up day to insure your bunny is the gender we thought it was. But we still can’t guarantee gender. sometimes the “gender fairy” visits once your bunny gets a little older and develops more. So we ask if you are concerned about our checking that you check the bunny upon pick up otherwise we will just try our very best! (I’ve only had one bunny misgendered and even the vet had to have multiple veterinarians opinions)

SIDE NOTE:

⚠️We are not responsible for any illness, vet care or death that may occur after your bunny is purchased. Nor will we offer a refund as we can not control how you care for your rabbit after it leaves our care. If you are unsure on how to care for your new bunny please read the bunny care sheet that we send in your care package when you pick up your bunny.

⚠️Please be kind and courteous in conversation and keep in contact if you have reserved a rabbit.

⚠️If you fail to keep in contact you forfeit your deposit and the bunny will go back up for sale.

:QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS:

If you ever have any questions, concerns or are needing some advice I’m always happy to help any time! I will try to answer your questions or concerns to the very best of my knowledge.

Momma Sweet pea enjoying a banana 🍌

01/25/2025

Warning ⚠️ live birth content.

Update: Sadly this litter all passed, we will try for sables again after momma has some time to recover.

They’re here everyone! A few days earlier than I expected but they’re here! All squeaky and lively! I haven’t counted yet as I got this video about an hour and a half ago and I don’t want to disturb momma too much. I did however help her build a nest and keep the babies together as she went off to clean herself up. I will give more updates either tomorrow or in a few days 🙂 here’s to hoping sweet pea is a great first time momma! These are half Canadian/UK import lines and half American!

This fuzzy girl is looking for a new home! Really tough decision to make because she’s a very sweet girl with the softest hair! But I don’t have a buck to breed her to so she needs to move on. Her hair surprisingly doesn’t tangle too badly especially if she gets routine hair cuts which she’s a superstar for! She’s very easy to trim and brush as she enjoys it! She loves being snuggled and carried around. Just an all around great girl! She is pedigreed and comes from show lines. Would be incredible for a jersey wooly project with her excellent type! Or she would also make an incredible pet!

She will be trimmed before she leaves.

Note: I figured I’d repost this as I’ve seen a lot of new breeders lately who must be confused about what age their Giant does should be bred at. This post is not meant to attack but to educate! it is VERY important to do your research if you are thinking of breeding rabbits because it’s best to do it in the most ethical way possible! Always think of the momma first over the want to have a cute litter of baby bunnies asap! We want healthy babies and a heathy mature momma 🩷

HEY ALL! I’ve had a couple people ask me questions on what a good age is to breed your giants for the first time. So I thought I’d make a post about it!

‼️First off! a good thing to keep in mind is, Giant breed animals in general take a bit longer to fully mature than your standard sized animals.

For instance you can safely breed a dwarf/mini sized rabbit at 5-6 months old because they mature much quicker.

For large sized rabbits (New Zealand, silver fox, rex) the safe recommended age is between 6 1/2-9 months old or if they reach 8lbs and up which ever comes first.

So now with the giants they take a bit longer to grow and mature. The safe recommended age for breeding giants is between the earliest being 9 months of age to 12 months old (no later). If you wait too long after 12 months you may have fertility complications. Weight has no play in this because a baby can weigh around 15-17lbs and still not be ready to have kits.
It’s important for your doe to be fully matured before breeding and if she isn’t it can be fatal to her and/or her kits. If a momma is bred too young she may also not be able to produce enough milk to feed her kits and/or abandon them altogether.

A very good indicator that your doe is ready to be bred is she’ll start to have a nice size dewlap on her chest. A dewlap is the big p**f of hair around the doe’s neck that looks like a neck pillow. It’s important that a doe has a decent size dewlap before being bred because it is her source of fur when she lines her nest for her kits. Now dewlaps vary in sizes per different breed so do some research on what your breed of rabbit’s dewlap should look like. If she doesn’t have enough fur to line her nest the kits will unfortunately get too cold and pass away as they are born hairless.

So in order to have the most success when breeding your Giant doe it’s best to wait until she’s matured! Sometimes it can be hard to wait but it’s worth it for your doe’s safety and the safety of her kits.

Another thing to remember is Continental and German giants don’t reach full length or weight Until they are nearly 2 years old. But they do reach sexual maturity between 8-10 months old still.

So even though it’s hard to wait it’s in your rabbits best interest that you do! 🙂

I hope this answers some questions!

This is my opinion from my personal experience, chatting with other ethical rabbit breeders and my own extensive research. 🙂
