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.

Theodosia (Dozey) - pet spayed doe
Date of Birth: October 15, 2021 Parents: Molly & Little Boy Blue Color/Pattern: Solid Chinchilla Status: Available to families with approved New Bunny Questionnaires Pick-Up Date: Anytime Price: $300 ($150 spay fee + $150 for Theodosia) Theodosia is a beautiful little chin girl. She has two sides. She is one part sweet and one part sassy. Dozey likes to explore and tends to be very curious. We have noticed that she is rather ambivalent towards other rabbits, so she may or may not have much potential for forming a close bond to another bunny. Dozey has always been a rabbitry favorite. She was a very cuddly baby and, although she has become more independent as she has matured, she retains her curious and sociable nature. Although she is still quite young, we felt the need to retire Theodosia early from our breeding program after having only two litters. She stopped nursing her kits when they were about 4 weeks old and we then needed to hand raise them, so didn't want to risk breeding her for more kits when she might not want to nurse them at all. Dozey is a petite doe and weighs about 4lbs. She has a gloriously thick coat that is very soft. She was spayed on February 7, 2023, with no concerns or complications. She is now ready to be placed with a forever family who will love both her sweet and sassy sides. All of the Buns go to their new homes with a bag full of goodies including: a packet of bunny care information, a small bag of transition food and hay, a snack baggie of old-fashioned raw oats for treats, a toy, and a fleece snuggle mat. |

Moxie - pet spayed doe
Date of Birth: October 18, 2021 Parents: Genevieve & Little Boy Blue Color/Pattern: Solid Opal Status: Available to families with approved New Bunny Questionnaires Pick-Up Date: Anytime Price: $300 ($150 spay fee + $150 for Moxie) Moxie has a bit of history behind her. She was originally named Nickel and was part of our "pocket change" themed litter. Her siblings were Quarter, Dime, and Penny. She was placed in a loving pet home as a baby, but was brought back to us after a couple of months because her personality didn't seem to be clicking with her new person. We had planned to place a different Bun with her, but were notified that she was moving cross country, so that never happened. Her person had named the Bun Imogen, but we already had a Bun of that name, and Nickel didn't really seem to work, so we decided to call her Moxie because she is a little busy-body of a girl. We added her to the rabbitry as a potential breeding doe. She had her one and only kit (HCB's Al Dente) and decided that she didn't want other babies, despite breeding her regularly for over a year. We decided she was meant for a pet home and she was spayed on August 16, 2023, with no issues arising. Moxie is an outgoing, but rather independent little doe. She's always curious but likes to approach new people and situations in her own time and way. Although she only had a single litter, she has an impressive dew lap and "butt ruffle." Moxie is very good with her litter box and is very fond of parsley. The occasional chunk of banana makes her quiver with delight. All of the Buns go to their new homes with a bag full of goodies including: a packet of bunny care information, a small bag of transition food and hay, a snack baggie of old-fashioned raw oats for treats, a toy, and a fleece snuggle mat. |
Below is the video of Moxie (when she was called Nickel) as a baby. :D We will add a recent one as time permits.

Hamish - pet spayed buck
Date of Birth: February 26, 2021 Parents: Goldilocks & Gulliver Color/Pattern: Solid Harlequin (Black/Orange) Status: Matched with Robyn S. Pick-Up Date: September 29/30 Price: $225 ($75 neuter fee + $150 for Hamish) We are going to miss this gorgeous boy, but he has a bright future ahead of him. We reluctantly retired Hamish from our breeding program because he is a definite carrier of the fuzzy gene. Although he sired beautiful babies, fuzzies can be very difficult to place because they require a lot more grooming and special coat care, which not many people have time to give. Hamish has been an intense admirer of our lady Buns and will spend hours gazing at them. Because of this, combined with his pleasant, sunny disposition, helped us determine that he would be a wonderful fit as a bonding bunny. Something about Hamish reminds us of Winston Churchill (at least as we have seen him portrayed in movies). He is currently quite downcast, as being neutered was not something he would have chosen for himself. As mentioned above, he loves the ladies, so doesn't quite know what to do with himself. There is a new relationship with a beautiful doe who goes by the name of Sweet Pea (HCB's Sweet Potato) in his future, if he plays his card right. All of the Buns go to their new homes with a bag full of goodies including: a packet of bunny care information, a small bag of transition food and hay, a snack baggie of old-fashioned raw oats for treats, a toy, and a fleece snuggle mat. |
