For the first time since we opened our doors in late 2015/early 2016 we have kept our prices the same. These days, our fees don’t even cover the cost of care to raise our rabbits to the eight week mark, and after careful consideration, we have decided that going forward, our prices will match the quality, commitment and care that goes into our animals.
Pet Rabbits starting at $50
Pet Pigs starting at $125
Zephyr Ridge Rabbitry Sales Policy
All of our sales are made on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right to refuse a sale at any time, for any reason. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase one of our rabbits.
The only time that we will request a reservation on one of our bunnies is if we are sending a bunny on transport, or traveling out of state with them. These reservations are 100% NON-REFUNDABLE. No exceptions. These reservations must be paid at least 48 hours in advance, once plans are finalized. Our routes are set.
Our rabbits can leave at 8 weeks, however an animal's health is always prioritized here. If we feel a rabbit has not reached an appropriate size, weight or level of socialization that we feel will not set an animal up for success, we may delay pickup or void our transaction.
We are not responsible for the health of a rabbit once they have left our property. When they leave they are healthy, happy, loved and cared for and it’s expected that they stay that way. We do our very best to raise our rabbits in a way that will set them up for success in the future.
Quality: We do not guarantee the quality, or placements of our younger rabbits, as they are constantly changing as they develop! What they look like as a junior can be quite different than how they’ll appear as a senior in terms of type! What may show well in our area may not show well in a more competitive arena.
How we help prepare our bunnies for their new homes: Our rabbits will come with a pedigree or birth certificate (when available) and what you get will depend on the reason you are buying a bunny. They will come with some hay, and transitional feed. This feed will come with instructions on how to properly transition your rabbit(s) to the grain of your choosing. Our rabbits are fed a very limited diet (pellet, hay) as their digestive system is very fragile and still developing. We start introducing fresh veggies, herbs and fruits(limited) around the six month mark. Our bunnies are handled daily, and exposed to different farm animals, children, and have gone on short car rides, taken to pet friendly locations (such as Tractor Supply)! We send you with a safe food list should new owners request it. Cedar shavings are toxic to a rabbit once mixed with urine. Please use pine, paper or pelleted bedding in your cage(s) and dropping pans.
Housing: We actively advocate for safe housing whether it be a cage, xpen set up, or free roam, and we believe if you cannot actively monitor your rabbit, you should always put them safely in a hutch or enclosed space for their safety! Bunnies can get up to mischief, chew a cord, get electrical burns in their mouth as an example! As we are a more at risk home we practice biosecurity which means metal cages that can be thoroughly torched and sterilized vs plastic bottom, or wooden hutches. All cages should be made of 14 gauge wire. Thinner wire, like hardware cloth is not an appropriate wire to use, and could be detrimental to a larger rabbits health, especially if they are prone to a genetic issue called sore hocks. This could lead to cuts and open wounds on their footpads. Despite using cages, we often allow our bunnies time out to stretch their legs, and they get to participate in enrichment filled activities like dig boxes. This is what works for MY home, but you may find another way of housing more suitable for yours.
New owners are responsible for bringing a box, cage, or carrier to bring home your new bunny.
OUR PIGS:
Our pigs are a new project! I have raised pigs off and on before I even started with rabbits! My health would make commercial breeds of pigs more challenging to raise, so when the opportunity for mini pigs arose, I jumped on it! Pigs are naturally curious creatures, I would in fact compare them to toddlers.
We start socialization and handling of them from a young age. This is beneficial to them for many reasons! Pigs need their hooves trimmed around every six months. This is important as overgrown, cracked and misaligned hooves can cause unnecessary pressure and pain on a pigs posture, joints and ligaments.
Our pigs have their iron shots!
Our parent pigs for the most part are around the 75 lb mark. Our smallest boy is a little over 12 inches tall while our larger pigs stand around 15-16 inches. We do not limit their feed intake whatsoever, starvation to get a smaller size is WRONG. We feed a high quality pig pellet and they get lots of treats from the bakery, farm stands.
We will likely be neutering all of our boy piglets going forward- if you’re interested in keeping a piglet a boar for breeding, please reach out to us on the day of birth, or get on a waiting list in advance. An intact breeding boar will reflect in the final price of an animal, and neutering is done very early on for boys. When sending your piglet home, we will provide you with transitional feed.
