One of my eyes is abnormal, so I've been going to the ophthalmologist. I get eye drops every day, and I'm a very good patient for that. The disadvantage of getting a bunny from a pet store is that those rabbits are often not as healthy as rabbits in other settings.
Those rabbits are either going to be very well socialized or very stressed out. In addition, buying rabbits at a pet store is often one of the more expensive options. People give up pets for lots of different reasons that often have nothing to do with the health or behavior of the pet. Nearly every area has at least one animal rescue, but not all animal rescues take domestic rabbits. This website gets listings from various animal rescues and brings all the rabbit listings in one place.
Rescue bunnies are often already spayed or neutered which can be a very expensive procedure. If you are lucky enough to fall in love with a fixed bunny, you could save yourself hundreds of dollars. Animal rescues nearly always have a veterinarian who is responsible for the health of the animals in their care. This means that a bunny that you get from an animal rescue is probably going to be without health issues and if it does have any health issues they should know about them.
Also, remember that on average pet rabbits live eight to fourteen years. That means that if you start with a four-year-old rabbit, your time with that bunny is going to be shorter than if you started with a younger bunny.
The price of a rabbit from an animal rescue varies wildly. Some animal rescues will literally give a free bunny to a good home. However, most charge an adoption fee to cover their expenses and make sure that the bunny is going to someone who really wants it. Every area has animal swaps where people come to buy and sell animals. They are often held at local farm supply stores or at animal auction houses.
Before you go to your first animal swap, make sure you know what to expect. A lot of the people here are going to be farm folks.
These are great people who work hard with their hands. They are going to be rougher around the edges than people who work in an office every day. They know stuff you do not know.
Brace yourself for having people ask you if you are going to eat the rabbit. You can also call your local farm supply stores and ask if they know of any animal swaps in the area. Most animal swaps are regular events during the non-winter months. We have three in our city of , people. Each one happens once a month and is located in the parking lot of one of the local farm supply stores. The rabbits at an animal swap will often be less expensive than those offered for sale in nearly any of the other options on this list.

Reputable welfare organisations will health check all pets before they are rehomed and will also help match the most suitable pet to your home and lifestyle.

Getting your rabbits from a friend or family member You can sometimes get rabbits from people you know and trust. Pet shops Pet shops often have rabbits for sale. Things to check If you do get a rabbits from a local sanctuary, a friend or a pet shop, here are some things to bear in mind: Try to choose your rabbits from a place where the living environment is clean and hygienic and contains suitable bedding, nest box, toys and food. Your rabbits should be bright and alert when awake.
Most groups depend on volunteers who provide foster care for homeless rabbits until they can find them a home. Many rabbit rescue groups partner with local animal shelters, helping to place bunnies through their foster care networks. When you contact a rescue group, be sure to find out as much as you can about the organization, how it cares for its animals, how it decides which animals are adoptable and what other adoption and post-adoption services are available.
Staff and volunteers at well-run shelters or rescue groups work hard to keep the bunnies socialized and healthy. Their hands-on experience with the rabbits will enable them to help you choose the right bunny for you. And unlike the part-time staff at a large pet store, the people at your local shelter and rescue group can provide detailed information on bunny care and behavior and answer questions you may have after adoption.
Adoption fees vary, but the package may include a certificate for a free vet visit or a reduced cost spay or neuter surgery if your bunny isn't already sterilized.

If you've looked at all the local animal shelters and rabbit rescue groups and still haven't found "The One"—and you just can't wait to bring home your new rabbit—you may be wondering how to identify and locate a reputable breeder.
Good breeders are not in the business just to make money; they don't sell their rabbits to the first person who shows up with cash in hand. A good breeder is one who is personally involved in each and every sale.
