Where is the best place to buy (or adopt) baby rabbits? I am looking to get one or two. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tue, January 18, 2005 - 1:08 AMYour local pound should have some or there is always a rabbit rescue nearby. We have Bunny Bunch and The Velveteen Rescue down here in LA, I'm sure there's something up in the bay area.
I have adults for adoption if you are interested. -

Re: Where can I get baby rabbits?
Tue, January 18, 2005 - 1:30 PMthe house rabbit society is nationwide and actually based right here in Richmond, CA. Which is where i got mine. wanna see pictures? hahaha
they are online with links to all cooperating shelters and rescue groups nationally at:
www.rabbit.org/adoption/index.html
you can scout for buns online, but the shelter in SF, for example, can't update their online listings constantly, so it helps to scout in person. Babies' behavior is very different from adults', so like other pets, it helps the rescue movement to adopt juveniles or adults, whose behavior is more manageable.
I now have dwarf rabbits, who are a handful (which is another story), but are compact and have even more of a "babyface" than the standard sizes.
Best of luck to you!

Wed, January 19, 2005 - 8:51 AMNever Never Buy a Rabbit. Always rescue! :) Definitely your local shelter/Animal Control area. Those bunnies are sometimes even show quality bought for hundreds of dollars and dumped at a shelter because they are a lot of work...not a stuffed animal. :) -

Wed, January 19, 2005 - 2:27 PMCool, thanks guys. I agree, loving/raising rabbits is also a commitment of labor. I didn't know so many rabbits are available for adoption in the Bay Area. Will definitely go this route. -

Fri, January 21, 2005 - 1:17 AMHello there fellow rabbit lovers!
Great advice about considering the shelters.
Sad, so many bunn-bunns needing homes :(
Just uploaded pics of my brother's dwarf's babies.
Oh god, just look at those sweet little faces....
Almost hard to believe they're even real ;-)

Fri, January 21, 2005 - 1:37 PMI agree, those bunnies are adorable! I wish my 3 Netherland Dwarf bunnies were still babies. And that they would stay that way!

Re: Where can I get baby rabbits?
Sun, February 11, 2007 - 2:51 PMI have to WONDERFUL bunnies for adoption! Following is a description... I can send pictures if you like :)
Twitch and Trixie are two friendly dwarf-hotot rabbits seeking a loving, rabbit savvy family. They are brother and sister and love each other very much. While they are friendly and get along with cats and people alike, they are tightly bonded and very content with each other. Two-year-old siblings, they are very health eaters and have excellent litter box habits. Twitch and Trixie are exceptionally beautiful all white rabbits with blue eyes and dark black "eyeliner". Twitch and Trixie will make wonderful house bunnies!
All set-up materials (pen, litter box, etc.) included!
Thanks in advance on behalf of the bunsters!

Re: Where can I get baby rabbits?
Thu, March 8, 2007 - 8:58 AMSometimes when you visit the animal shelter you wouldn't even know there were rabbits there unless you ask. When I adopted my Budro for a companion to Bunny, there were three mothers with babies. Another great thing about adopting from the shelter (at least in CA.) the buns are already fixed.
