Babies for Sale - Ross Rabbits - home of the cuddliest, snuggliest French Lop companion pet rabbits

Cuddly bunnies for sale

We breed only high quality, purebred, friendly and affectionate French Lop and very occasional French Lop x Continental Giant companion pets.

As we are very small-scale, non-commercial hobbyist pet owners/breeders producing only a few litters per year, we won't always have babies available for adoption but we do keep a waiting list of enquirers.  So, if you're interested in welcoming one of our bunnies into your home or garden for a lifetime of love, fuss and cuddles, then please get in touch.   

All of our babies are:

• handled from birth
  

• fully-socialised as companion pets.  
  

• most will also be litter-trained to become perfect house-bunnies
  

• used to lots of attention, handling, fuss, cuddles and pampering
  

• Vaccinated against myxomatosis and VHD
  

We normally keep a few girls from each litter but all boys produced and any surplus girls will be available for adoption by loving pet homes

Our French Lops and French Lop x Continental Giants are companion pets and are available to to permanent and loving pet homes only.  

We have babies available for adoption!

Thanks to Wiki and Bob producing an unexpectedly large litter, we have several babies available who, subject to weaning and making good progress, will be ready for collection on 13-16 June 2013.  These babies are 75% French Lop x 25% Continental Giant combining the best features of each breed.  They have the potential to be large (up to 6-6.5kg approx), chunky, affectionate, attention-seeking and demanding companion pets who enjoy a lot of fuss!

They have been handled from birth, will be fully-socialised as companion pets and we will be litter-training them so they can live indoors as full-time free-range house bunnies and become fully-fledged members of the family, or they could live outdoors in a spacious hutch, ideally 8' x 4' to allow ample room to stretch out and move around, plus daily access to a large run or secure garden.  Some ideas for suitable accommodation can be seen here.

About our babies...

Medical background and vaccinations:  All of our babies will be vaccinated against myxomatosis and VHD before leaving (chargeable at cost) using the new combined Myxo/VHD vaccine and a Certificate of Vaccination will be issued.  Please note - this is an annual vaccine and no further vaccinations will be required unlike the earlier 6-monthly myxomatosis boosters.  All babies will be treated with an anticoccidiostat either via ACS pellets or oral Baycox at 5 and 6 weeks to guard against coccidiosis (which can attack the liver and/or intestines) to give our babies the best possible start in life.

Care: We will provide full comprehensive care information, feeding details and ongoing support and advice for all bunnies adopted from us throughout their lives.  We care deeply for our bunnies' ongoing welfare and are always here to provide support and answer any questions following their adoption.

Adoption fee:  Our babies are priced at £75 each for a purebreed French Lop and £85 for French Lop x Continental Giant.  The combined Myxo/VHD annual vaccination is charged at cost. We will also provide a voucher offering 30 days free insurance, on request.  There is absolutely no 'profit' from the sale of kits and any income goes directly into their kitty as a small token contribution towards the buns' feeding and care costs.  We do not breed for profit or income!

How to adopt: If you would like to adopt, please let us know your preferred choice of kits. We will require a completed Bunny Reservation Form for each kit or pair of kits reserved.  This is required by Law for all live animal adoptions in the UK.  

Breeding Policy:  We breed only to maintain, improve and add new colours to our lines by retaining girls from litters.  We usually offer most boys produced for adoption and we adopt carefully selected 'outside' bucks as studs to introduce new and complimentary gene pools and bloodlines.  

If you would like to receive reservation information, just email rossrabbits@outlook.com and we’ll forward details by return.

Adoption Fees*:   Babies are priced individually when available + combined annual myxomatosis and VHD vaccination at cost, currently £24.50.  A free copy of the babies’ Birth to Weaning CD/DVD will be included with adoptions on request.  *This adoption fee is a contribution towards the upkeep of the bunnies and rearing youngsters.  There is absolutely no profit made from the sale of our surplus babies.

Target Leaving Dates:  Will be stated for each litter, subject to weaning.  Should there be any delays or the babies progress at different rates, the alternative collection dates will be the following Friday or Saturday.  All collection dates are subject to weaning, progress and achieving target weight.  If there is any delay then we ask you to please confirm that the Friday or Saturday following the target leaving date given would also be convenient for you.   

Collection:   All babies must be collected personally from our home in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire.  We do not ‘ship’ bunnies either within the UK or overseas.  However, if you are unable to travel, it may occasionally be possible to meet you on a weekday eg at a motorway service station within your area if you agree to reimburse our fuel costs and expenses in advance for the return trip (45p per mile).  

How to Reserve:  Please contact us if you are interested in adopting any of the surplus babies from one of our litters and we will forward reservation details. A  £40 deposit (£41.65 if paid via PayPal) will secure your reservation. The balance is payable on collection day.

Deposits can be paid securely via Paypal using your credit or debit card and you do not need to have a PayPal account.  Payment of your deposit will be deemed as acceptance of our Adoption Terms.  When making your payment, please indicate which bunny you wish to reserve.  A receipt will be sent immediately via PayPal and we will confirm your reservation directly with you.
