Sales Policy

The B’s Buns — Sales Policy

Thanks for your interest in a rabbit from our barn! Please take a few minutes to read through this policy before reaching out — reading it in full is your responsibility, and reaching out about or purchasing a rabbit from The B’s Buns means you’ve accepted these terms either way. Details here may be updated from time to time as our practices evolve.

We list pet and breeding quality rabbits as they become available, so the best way to stay in the loop is to check our website or social media periodically. Once a rabbit is posted, it’s available first-come, first-served. That said, we care deeply about where our rabbits end up, so we may decline a sale at our discretion if we don’t feel it’s the right home for a particular rabbit — no hard feelings, just looking out for our animals. In these cases, we may offer an alternate rabbit if we feel one is a better match.

Our pricing reflects the individual rabbit. Pet quality bunnies are a flat rate of $100 and don’t include a pedigree. Breeding and show stock is priced based on quality, age, pedigree, and any show results. Prices may change without notice and aren’t negotiable, unless you’re purchasing multiple animals.

Reserving a rabbit. A 50% deposit is required to reserve a bunny — no rabbit is held without one, and reservations are first-come, first-served in the order deposits are received. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable, with the balance due before pickup. The only exception is if we decide the sale shouldn’t go forward for an unforeseen reason on our end, in which case your deposit is refunded in full. If you change your mind, the deposit is forfeited, and canceling within 48 hours of pickup incurs a $50 fee. We accept cash, Venmo, or PayPal (Friends & Family, or we’ll send an invoice if you’d rather cover the fee). A rabbit isn’t officially yours until it’s paid in full; until then, it remains in our care and ownership. If a rabbit needs to stay with us longer than planned after being claimed, a $20 weekly boarding fee helps cover feed and space, payable before we release the rabbit, though junior rabbits claimed early aren’t charged for the standard wait until they’re old enough to leave (10–12 weeks).

Missed pickups. If you can’t make your scheduled pickup, just tell us — we’ll work with you and keep it fair and reasonable. If you don’t pick up your rabbit on the scheduled date and we can’t reach you after two days of trying, we’ll consider the rabbit abandoned with us, and it may be sold to someone else with no refund offered.

We can’t guarantee gender. Sexing rabbits is genuinely difficult, especially in young ones. We check our kits often and we’re right the large majority of the time, but certainty isn’t always possible. Please check for yourself before you take custody. If you’ve reserved a rabbit and you disagree with our determination at pickup, you’re welcome to apply your payment toward another available rabbit. Once a rabbit leaves our care, we can’t offer refunds or exchanges on the basis of gender.

We can’t guarantee temperament. We start handling our kits the day after they’re born and we breed toward calm, friendly dispositions, but personalities change with age and environment. Traumatic events, encounters with other animals, and travel can permanently change a rabbit’s behavior. Bonding also takes time — your rabbit was born here and has never known anywhere else, so expect days or even weeks of adjustment to new people, sounds, smells, and housing before you see who they really are.

We can’t guarantee quality. Our rabbits are sold as pet, brood, or show quality based on our honest assessment at the time of sale. A rabbit’s type, condition, and potential can change as it matures or as its care and environment change, and if a rabbit we sold as brood quality later presents as pet quality, that isn’t something we can be responsible for. We breed the best rabbits we can and would never knowingly misrepresent one, but rabbits change and so do the circumstances they live in. We likewise can’t promise future health, fertility, show success, or how a rabbit will produce as a breeder.

Every rabbit leaves us in good health to the best of our knowledge. Please inspect your rabbit before leaving with it. Once it leaves our care, its wellbeing depends on its new environment, which is outside our control, so we’re unable to guarantee health beyond that point — though we’re always happy to talk through any concerns that come up. Veterinary costs after the sale are the new owner’s responsibility.

We’re located in northern San Luis Obispo County, right off Highway 101. Pickups typically happen at a location near us or at a show we’re already attending, at no charge; for biosecurity reasons, we generally don’t have buyers meet us at the property itself. For buyers or transporters coming from further away, we can meet partway along a few common routes — Highway 5 near Kettleman City, north as far as Salinas, or south as far as Santa Barbara — for a minimum $50 fee to offset travel time, gas, and mileage.

If you’d rather use a transport service, we’re glad to discuss it, provided the route keeps the rabbit in transit no longer than 2–3 days from pickup to final delivery; longer than that is simply too hard on them. As of this writing we have no firsthand experience with any particular company — only what we’ve heard from other breeders or read online, so please do your own research and understand the risk is yours to assume. If we come across information, good or bad, about a service you’re considering, we’ll pass it along, and we reserve the right to cancel a sale if we learn something concerning about a provider. This 2–3 day limit applies to third-party transport; if you or someone you’ve personally arranged is driving the rabbit home and caring for it along the way, we’re happy to work with a longer trip — just share your travel plan with us in advance so we can send the rabbit off prepared. Once a rabbit is in transport, we can no longer guarantee its health, wellbeing, or condition, as travel can be unpredictable and stressful for rabbits.

Once a rabbit is sold, we’re glad to hold onto it briefly if arrangements are made in advance — coordinating a transport meetup, bringing it to a show, or another case-by-case situation. Extended boarding isn’t something we can offer, though, and all sales are final; we don’t provide refunds, replacements, exchanges, or returns. We run a closed rabbitry for biosecurity reasons, protecting the health of our herd, and we hope you understand this policy exists for everyone’s benefit, including your rabbit’s future littermates and herd-mates here. Even after the sale, we’re just a message away if you ever have questions.

Breeding quality rabbits keep the pedigree name given by their original breeder — standard practice that can’t be changed — and any known faults or disqualifications will always be disclosed upfront, before money changes hands. We always recommend looking a rabbit over yourself before finalizing a purchase; we’ll share our honest opinion, but the final call is yours. Pet quality rabbits make fantastic companions but aren’t intended for the show table or breeding program,* and by purchasing one, you’re agreeing it won’t be bred under any circumstances.

*One exception: well-typed normal does may be advertised and sold as pets, but if intended as brood does, a fee starting at $50 applies and increases based on genetic quality, along with an included pedigree and ear tattoo.

Whoever brings home one of our rabbits agrees to provide proper housing, food, and medical care for its entire life; never abandon, dump, or surrender it to a shelter; keep pet rabbits indoors, or at minimum never leave them outside unsupervised; and supervise young children any time they’re interacting with the rabbit.
