Everyone is subject to our Sales Policy, even if you didnt read it!

Upon purchasing a rabbit from our rabbitry, all of the following will be agreed upon. This policy is in place to protect all parties involved and especially the rabbit(s).

I care for my rabbit's welfare, as a result, I reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone at any time for any reason.

If for any reason your circumstances change and you cannot keep your rabbit purchased from Hoppy Days Rabbitry, the rabbit will be returned to me and I will take responsibility of
finding the rabbit a new home. No refund will be given. No questions asked - we understand things happen but we also do not lease out babies.

We are not a petting zoo or a pet store, there’s no meet and greet where I pull out 10 babies for 3 hours so you can touch them all. We place our rabbits with intent. We know which genetics and which babies are best suited for pets. When were discussing options prior to pickup I’m happy to hear your wants and needs and offer the ones that best fit you. Ill happily send pictures for reference. Otherwise, this is not a buffet. We put a lot of love and care into our rabbits and finding them good homes, and more often than not the breeder is going to know best. We’ve sold thousands of rabbits and there will be thousands more - we just cannot cater to you in this way. We offer lifetime advice and support though. If this does not work for you then we are not the breeder for you. Sorry.

I will not lower the price of a show quality rabbit for you to have as a pet. Do not come over and start offering money for rabbits in other cages and complaining about how I said we had no other options available. Yes, its happened. A lot.

All pedigrees are given digitally in a PDF cloud link, via email, or Hutch transfer. However, I will only provide pedigrees to the people that purchased the rabbit directly. If you’re a third party acquiring my rabbit or a person receiving a baby from two parents Ive sold, then I will NOT give you pedigrees. Its possible the seller sold it without a pedigree for a reason or theyre withholding it from you because of some issue like incomplete payment. Take it up with the seller.

PAYMENT

We do not hold rabbits without deposits, no exceptions.

For all rabbits we ask a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the sales price must be received. The remainder can be paid upon pickup. Rabbits placed on hold can only be held for up to 14 days, after which you FORFEIT THE DEPOSIT, unless another date was agreed upon prior to the deposit being sent (not after you missed your pickup appt).

I take all forms of digital payments including credit cards directly.

Deposit are mandatory. NO EXCEPTIONS. Even if you pick up the rabbit in the same day. If you cannot leave a deposit then find another breeder. I know some people have trust issues leaving deposits, but I dont know what to tell you. Were a highly visible breeder on social media and registered with ARBA and NRRC. If this does not work for you then were not the breeder for you.

All sales are final.

QUALITY

Show Quality: In most general terms, show quality means a rabbit that is free of DQ’s. However, due to our reputation, we are very selective with the quality of rabbit that we label as “Show Quality”. HOWEVER, Show Quality rabbits will still have faults to some degree, as no rabbit is perfect. We cannot guarantee a rabbit will win or even place. This can be especially true depending on what part of the country you’re in. Rex specifically can be so dependent on coat condition at the time of show that even a winning rabbit will go through phases of lowering placings because of age/coat condition. More balanced rabbits tend to win more, but often times the rabbits people seek from us are the ones with the rare traits like depth which often come with some baggage. High priced rabbits will often either be very balanced rabbits or less balanced ones with extreme strengths - both are capable of winning but this could even come down to judges preference so we do not guarantee the success of any individual rabbit.

Non-Show Quality: Rabbits for homestead breeding. The only senior rabbits we sell are show quality. All rabbits sold for this purpose will likely be under 16 weeks old. Pedigrees are an additional fee. If you come to me asking for pet/cull quality breeder but then one day decide you want to start doing show rabbits, or if you lied to get rabbits cheap, then do not be disappointed because you got what you paid for. There is a reason we distinguish between the two. If I find out you’ve been selling cull quality animals as show quality after purchasing non-show breeders then youd be making a very grave mistake and burning bridges with the wrong person here.

Pet Quality: The rabbit should not be used in a breeding program. We do NOT sell pets that have shown any aggressive behavior; However, rabbits are prey animals and have different cues than most other pets. They require positive reinforcement. Also, most pets will be babies and babies turn into teenagers and you have to understand that they will go through a phase - especially does. Do your research before getting any pet. No pedigrees are given on pet rabbits.

SHOW BUYERS

For show rabbits, I reserve the right of first refusal should a rabbit purchased from Hoppy Days Rabbitry outlive it's usefulness in the buyer's herd.

For rabbits being transported. Payment must be made IN FULL prior to meeting transport. If for any reason we do not get full payment and you miss the transport opportunity as a result, we give 30 days from the missed transport date for you to find alternative transport otherwise you forfeit the deposit. No exceptions.

Buyer is responsible for finding transport.

In transport, once the rabbit leaves my hands I am no longer responsible for the rabbit. Professional transport should, and often do, check the rabbit for health issues at the time of drop off. It is not uncommon for rabbits to develop snuffles from allergies, stress or other ill rabbits during transport. During long haul transports or ones during extreme weather (winter or summer transport), it is not uncommon for rabbits to become temporarily sterile. Because of this we do not guarantee virility. This is a risk of transport. No refund will be given. We have never had a rabbit born sterile and so if they do then its likely environmental.

All pedigrees are given digitally in a PDF cloud link, via email, or Hutch transfer. If you’re EVER missing anything on a pedigree that stops the rabbit from being registerable then please let me know! I put a lot of hard work into maintaining paperwork and keeping it complete and I want everyone to have complete information. I post updates on my FB page if we get GC numbers back or if we discover unknown recessives as a result of breeding, even. Also, as a result of this, if people are coming to me to get pedigree information because you’re selling babies out of my lines and not giving complete pedigrees because of laziness (like random missing weights or something) then I WILL call you out. Be a better breeder.

We have become more selective about what quality we sell and who we sell to - its for my own sanity. I will not sell animals above the $300 range to people who dont know who we are or to brand-new breeders. We set an exceptionally high bar for the minimum quality animal that leaves our barn and anything in the higher price range we want to go to a breeder that will not only appreciate them but are committed to the breed with proper practices and understanding of how to use them in their program. Unless you have purchased rabbits from me before, we will only sell pairs or trios so please budget accordingly. We do not sell the Tris. We do not sell the Sables at this time. We DO NOT take color into account. We are 100% about quality first and foremost and we sell what we believe is the best quality we have to offer. We breed primarily major varieties and people come to us for quality. I will not guarantee any specific color or gene availability. 75% of what were producing right now is blue otter. If youre not willing to use a blue otter in your program then dont waste my time. I WILL NOT sell an inferior quality rabbit that is not up to our standards because you exclusively had to have some specific color.
