Our Process
Think of us as a bunny matching service. Yes, we may have several Available Bunnies, but you don't want just any bunny that looks cute. Our goal is finding the right bunny for the right home. A happy bunny is a joy to be with, but a miserable, upset bunny will soon bring a big case of buyer's remorse. We want our bunnies to go home with the families who are the absolute best fit for them, to ensure a happy relationship for all involved. When a bunny becomes available, it will be offered to the family who is the best match for that bunny's temperament, after also considering the family's desired color, gender, and age. For example if a family is seeking a young, blue tort buck for a pet in their outgoing, often rambunctious family, we will not match them with a quiet-natured young blue tort buck, because it would not be the best fit for that particular bunny. We might suggest an outgoing solid blue buck from a different litter instead, and the family could accept or decline.
From the time you make initial contact with us by answering the Bunny Questionnaire until you are offered a bunny, we are going to be emailing back and forth with you, asking and answering questions, trying to get to know you and your lifestyle well enough that we can get a clear picture of the kind of bunny that would make a happy addition to your home. We ask you to contact us at a minimum of every two weeks so we can keep the conversation going and get to know you well enough to help pick out a bunny that will bring you joy.

Sylvie - Pet Quality Baby Doe
Solid Chinchilla Parents: Dulcie & Wee Walter Born on August 23, 2019 Available on or after October 20, 2019 $150 Sylvie is the spunkier of the two does in this litter, but she is still pretty easy to handle. With her full, luscious coat, she is soft and absolutely gorgeous. She has a tiny bit of sass that helps her stand up for herself when she is trying to tell us something. It's as though she gets exasperated with us when we don't "read" her signals clearly enough. LOL All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, spaying will be required for her long-term health and well-being. |

Jimmy - Pet Quality Baby Buck
Solid Squirrel Parents: Dulcie & Wee Walter Born on August 23, 2019 Available on or after October 20, 2019 $150 Jimmy is a quirky, playful, energetic little Bun. If you look closely at his pictures, you will notice that he has a little smirk-like smile. For whatever reason, Dulcie got a little too enthusiastic when cleaning him up shortly after he was born and he had the tiniest little nip near his wee mouth that healed as it is in his photos. He may be a Vienna Carrier, as well. The patch of white around his left eye is considerably larger than it would normally be in a typical agouti patterned Bun. We love the way he looks and find it adds more character to this little guy who delights in romping and doing zoomies at every opportunity. He is definitely the most energetic and playful baby in this litter. All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, neutering will be required for his long-term health and well-being. |

Primrose - "Rosie" - Pet Quality Baby Doe
Solid Chinchilla Parents: Dulcie & Wee Walter Born on August 23, 2019 Available on or after October 20, 2019 $175 Primrose is a sweet little Bun who enjoys gentle play and frisks about happily when she is not investigating something that has captured her attention. We considered adding her to our rabbitry, but our desire for her to be a beloved pet outweighs our desire to keep her. Someone is going to be very blessed with this little lady. :) All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, spaying will be required for her long-term health and well-being. |

Goodness - Pet Quality Baby Buck
Solid Blue Vienna Marked Parents: Plum Bun & Mayhem Born on August 12, 2019 Available on or after October 7, 2019 $150 Goodness is a very sweet little Bun. He is sensibly cautious in new situations, but warms up fairly quickly when he realizes there is no cause for alarm. He enjoys gentle play and exploration, and is usually willing to spend time cuddling. If he takes after his parents at all, there could be some goofy and/or sassy behavior in his future, but we don't see any evidence of either, at this time. Goodness is a bigger bun and will probably weigh 4-5 lbs when fully grown. All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, neutering will be required for his long-term health and well-being. 10/1...just added new photos of this little sweetie. Ignore the red eye in the photos, please. He does NOT have red eyes, but his pupils photograph red and my autocorrect doesn't work on bunny pictures for some odd reason. Pictures from Goodness' earlier days are available to view on the Baby Holland Lops page. |

Nibbles - Baby Pet Quality Buck
Solid Chestnut Parents: Goldilocks & Wee Walter Born on August 3, 2019 Available on or after September 28, 2019 $150 Nibbles makes us laugh! When he was a tiny baby, he would nibble at our fingers, in search of milk or food because he was always ready to eat, and always in search of his next meal. He has outgrown the desire to nibble at our fingers, but the name has stuck. :) Nibbles is slightly more outgoing than his brother Norman, but not so outgoing as his sister Nellie. He's a bit cautious in approaching new situations, but gentle reassurance and encouragement go a long way with this little guy. Every once in a while he does something very off the wall, like his sire Wee Walter would do. He probably gives us the most laughs out of the bunnies in this litter. All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, neutering will be required for his long-term health and well-being. |

Millie - Baby Pet Quality Doe Broken Sable Point Parents: Molly & Little Boy Blue Born on June 3, 2019 $125 Millie was originally named Wonky Bunny when she was born here at HCB. She was placed with a wonderful family for about two weeks but was not settling in well. Millie wanted to run the show (she has a huge personality in her tiny body) and didn't know how to make that happen with her new people, two dogs, and older neutered buck brother, so she went through a wide range of emotions, including being very fearful, being angry (and even occasionally nipping), and stomping her foot a lot. We decided it would be best for her to come back to the rabbitry and see what we could do to help her be the sweet, loving, calm girl we always knew her to be. (Her former family took home FlipFlop, who has been renamed Piper, and is settling in beautifully. Piper is becoming more loving by the minute and adores her new family.) We are giving Millie a bit of time to "re-set" her emotions while we figure out what will be best for her. We are rather baffled by the behavior she exhibited while she was placed, but perhaps she was telling all of us that she hadn't found the right home yet. Millie is currently residing in our living room, and has been her old, loving self since she has been back. She approaches me, allows me pick her up and cuddle her...in short, she acts the way she always did while she was here. It may be that Millie would prefer to be the only pet in a home, or that she needs a very gradual introduction to other pets in the home. She would be a wonderful free-roaming bunny, as she uses her litter box beautifully and loves to romp, play, and explore. Because of her reaction to her first placement, we would prefer for her to be placed in a home fairly close to Oberlin, so we can intervene if her behavior changes again. It may be that she wants to be an HCB brood doe and spend her time raising babies, but we would rather she have the opportunity to be a beloved pet Bun. If you think that Millie sounds like a bunny you could love and enjoy, please fill out the New Bunny Questionnaire and mention her specifically. All of our bunnies go to their new homes with a bag of transition food, hay, organic oats, a toy, resting mat, care sheets, and a birth certificate. As with all of our pet quality bunnies, spaying will be required for her long-term health and well-being. |

Marilla - Retired Doe
Solid Chocolate Parents: Charlotte & Joshua Born on May 16, 2017 Available on or after 10/9/2019 $250 ($100 for bunny + $150 spaying fee) Marilla is looking for a wonderful family who will encourage her silly, spunky ways. She has an impish streak and loves life. She jumps out of her cage, looking for adventure each and every day, and never fails to brighten our hearts, no matter how grumpy we may be feeling. She is available to a forever home with plenty of love and attention to give. She will go to her new home with transition food, hay, care information, a bag of oats for treats, a snuggle mat, birth certificate, and toy. Marilla was successfully spayed on 9/25/19. |

Apple Jane - Retired Spayed Doe
Broken Squirrel Born on April 15, 2016 Available now $225 ($75 for bunny + $150 spaying fee) Apple Jane (a.k.a. "Janie") was the second Bun to join our rabbitry, so retiring her has been a very difficult decision. Ever happy and playful, with a love for having her chubby cheeks rubbed, Apple Jane is a ray of sunshine and joy in our lives. She was a wonderful mama to the several litters of babies she raised and passed her sweet temperament and love of binkies on to her little ones. She loves to explore, run around, and can be a bit difficult to catch, but she also has a mellow, snuggle-bunny side to her temperament. We will miss her dearly, but know that she deserves a wonderful pet home of her very own. Apple Jane was spayed on 8/7/19. The doctor said she did very well and there are no health concerns. Although she looks rather large in her photos, Janie is actually quite petite and weighs only 3.6 lbs. She has a healthy appetite but burns it off by being active. She will go to her new home with transition food, hay, care information, a bag of oats for treats, a snuggle mat, birth certificate, and toy. |

Button - Retired Doe
Solid Opal Born on January 19, 2018 Parents: Anastasia & Dexter (both retired HCBs) Available on or after 10/9/2019 $275 ($125 for bunny + $150 spaying fee) Button (official name "Cute As a Button") is a little girl who deserves lots of time and love. She has been so dear to us and we had such hopes for her to be a brood doe in our rabbitry, but it was not meant to be. For whatever reason, Button cannot give birth to live kits, although she has tried multiple times. If ever there was a born mother, it is Button. She has a kind, gentle, nurturing heart, full of unrealized dreams. Not overly energetic, Button likes gentle play and sweet cuddles. She is available to a forever home with plenty of love and attention to give. She will go to her new home with transition food, hay, care information, a bag of oats for treats, a snuggle mat, birth certificate, and toy. Button was successfully spayed on 9/25/2019. |
