Q. How big do they get? A. Adults can weigh 20-25 pounds on average by the first year. Length average around 27.5 inches from nose to tail. We clarify this method of measuring because some breeders will measure rabbits from nose to hind feet with body fully stretched and hind legs/feet extended to their farthest reach.
Q. Why do you make people sign a spay/neuter contract to buy a pet bunny? A. Just as with other types of purebred animals, if someone wants to be able to have the full rights of breeder ownership, they must pay for that right. A pet rabbit has been sold as a pet, at a price that is set based on the expectation this animal will never be used for breeding or business purposes.
Q. I don’t plan to breed my pet bunny. Why isn’t that enough? Why do I have to sign a contract? I think it’s just unnecessary. A. We have heard this many times. If we set aside our contract every time a person told us they didn’t want to sign it, we would have been giving away breeding rights for rock-bottom self-destructive prices. We believe that a person who will take good care of one of our pet Giants, without ulterior motives or deception, is also a person who will have no problem signing the agreement.
Q Why can’t I have the pedigree when I buy/adopt a pet bunny? A. The reason for this is because you have purchased a pet. You have not paid the higher price for breeding rights. This does not mean your pet is poor quality. On the contrary, your pet is of excellent quality. His or her pedigree can be made available for you to view if you wish. If you would like to have a copy to keep, we will only release this to you once you have provided documentation that the sterilization procedure has been performed (complete with ear number ID referenced). If we have already had the surgery done prior to the time of adoption, then we are more than happy to release a copy to you. Otherwise, pedigrees are only released when a purchase of breeding/pedigree rights has occurred.
