Select your option: *

I am over 18 years of age. I am under 18 years of age. (Please do not submit this form. A parent or guardian needs to fill out the form and give us permission to answer your questions and work with you in finding the right bunny for your home.)

Do you or does anyone in your household have a known allergy to animal fur, dander, or to grass? *

No Uncertain Yes (If you select "yes", PLEASE get allergy-tested for rabbits. People who are allergic to cats often have allergies to rabbits, as well, so it's better to be safe than sorry and have to rehome a beloved bunny. If you are allergic to grass, the majority of your rabbit's diet will consist of hay (dried grass) so please consider your allergy before submitting this questionnaire.)

If you answered "Yes" to having allergies within your household, please explain the situation and precautions that you will take to ensure the Bun/hay will not be an allergy trigger in your home. *

Do you own or rent your home? *

I own my home. I rent my home, and have permission from my landlord to have a pet rabbit. (Please provide verification information in the next area.) I rent my home and have not consulted my landlord about having a pet rabbit.

If you rent, please provide the name of your landlord/rental company who oversees your lease, along with his/her phone number for verification. *

Why have you decided to add a rabbit to your life? *

Why would you like a bunny from Hot Cross Buns Holland Lops? How did you hear about us? *

Do you have a rabbit-knowledgeable veterinarian who is able to spay/neuter your Bun and provide care in the event of an emergency? (*Please note that many vets do not have specialized training necessary to treat rabbits, so careful consideration must be given in selecting your Bun's medical caregiver.) Please provide the name of the doctor and clinic who will be caring for your rabbit. *

Studies have shown that spayed/neutered rabbits live longer, healthier lives than unaltered rabbits. Are you willing/prepared to have your pet spayed/neutered? This procedure can cost approximately $150-$500, depending upon your vet's fees. *

Yes, I plan to have my pet rabbit spayed/neutered at the appropriate age. No, I do not plan to have my pet spayed/neutered. I need help deciding if spaying/neutering is right in my situation.

Do you have a dedicated indoor space to comfortably house your rabbit? Please tell us about it. *

Please tell us about the people in your home, ages of children, and who will be the main caregiver of the rabbit. *

Please tell us about any other pets you have in your home, including other rabbits. If you have a dog(s), please tell us the age and breed, as well as how they interact with other animals. Are they spayed/neutered? How did they come to be in your life? *

Tell us about a time when you went the extra mile for a pet. *

Have you ever needed to surrender or re-home a pet? If so, please tell us what happened in your situation. *

Please describe your home lifestyle. (Busy/energetic, calm/quiet, etc. Please include the amount of time you have to spend with your bunny during the work week and on weekends. This will help us determine what kind of bunny temperament will best fit in with your home life). *

Have you spent time researching rabbit care? If so, please list at least three resources from which you have found useful information to help you provide the best possible home for your bunny. (These resources may be books or websites.) *

What type of food, hay, and treats do you plan to feed your rabbit? *

I would like *

a Buck (male rabbit) a Doe (female rabbit) either gender help determining which gender would be the best fit for me and my home

Are you willing to be matched with a Fuzzy Holland Lop? (Through the breed's development, angora rabbits were used to add variations to the Holland Lop's original characteristics, and, on rare occasions, this recessive gene is expressed, resulting in babies that have longer, angora-type wool coats. These coats need extra grooming and a haircut is recommended 3-4 times per year, either at home or through a professional groomer. Fuzzy Holland Lops tend to be very loving and mellow rabbits. *

Yes, I would like to be considered for a Fuzzy Holland Lop. No, I'm not able to commit to the additional grooming needs of a Fuzzy Holland Lop. I would like to cosider Fuzzy Holland Lops if available, but the Bun's temperament will be the deciding factor.

Please describe the type of Bun you would like in regards to age, coloring, and pattern (solid or broken.) *

What type of temperament would you like your new pet bunny to have? *

A fun, outgoing, friendly bunny. He/she will be energetic, loving, confident, and be full of sunshine and joy and will have a life-of-the-party attitude. This bunny sees friends in everyone he/she meets, and will make us laugh with the joy he/she spreads. This bunny needs lots of room to play and lots of human interaction to thrive. A loving, gentle, and sweet bunny who is nurturing and loves to cuddle. He/she will sometimes want to play with us, but mostly wants to snuggle and be a lap bunny. This bunny usually forms a strong attachment to one or two people. A nice, middle-of-the-road bunny who likes to play, be petted, and spend time with me/us, but can also be independent and amuse himself/herself when we are away. An observant bunny. They can be quietly happy souls or they can have a grumpy demeanor (not mean, just difficult to understand because they look perpetually perturbed by everything.) These Buns watch everything and ponder the meaning of life (at least that's what they look like they are doing.) They can be slower to warm up to people and take time and gentle coaxing, but when they realize that you love them and they love you, there is so much joy. These special Buns tend to be routine-oriented and tidy. A busy-bunny who is curious, inquisitive, and wants to be part of everything everyone is doing. Intelligent with a touch of impishness, this bunny can learn to do tricks and will surprise us with his desire to try new things. This bunny will keep us on our toes with his/her mischievous ways. If confined for too long without activity and interaction, this Bun will become difficult to handle because his/her needs for ample space are very necessary to keeping him/her happy.

Please provide the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of three references who will be able to confirm your ability to provide an excellent home for your pet rabbit. Ideally, one of these will be a pet care professional (I.e. a vet, groomer, pet sitter), one may be a family member, and one may be a friend or co-worker. Please indicate if it would be better to contact each one via email, phone, or mail. *

How soon will you be ready to bring your new pet home? *

Is there anything else you would like to share or questions you would like to ask us? *

If your Questionnaire is approved, are you willing to place a $25 non-refundable deposit to Hot Cross Buns as a sign of your commitment to working with us? We determine how many rabbits we will breed each month based upon the number of people who have committed to work with us. This process helps us to focus on those who are truly ready for a Bun, versus those who are "window shopping". The deposit will be deducted from your rabbit's purchase price. This deposit holds your place on our waiting list. By placing it, you commit to contacting us at least once every 14 days to maintain your place in line and allow us the opportunity to get to know you, which will help us find the best possible bunny match for you! * *

Yes! I am ready to place my deposit and commit to working with Hot Cross Buns! I will contact Hot Cross Buns at least once every 14 days because I want to ask questions, get to know the people at Hot Cross Buns, and be totally prepared to bring home my special Bun. No, I am not ready to place a deposit at this time. I want to submit my information to see if I would be approved and will make a deposit when I am ready to proceed.

I have read and understood the "Before You Apply", "Pet Rabbit Placement Contract and Spay/Neuter Agreement" and "Sales Policy" pages on this site and I agree with their content. *

Yes, I agree. No, I do not agree. (Please do not submit this form.)
