Adoption Policy
MY POLICY HAS CHANGED PLEASE READ
All babies are $300
Bailey Bunny Farm is a small rabbitry located in Colfax, IA. I raise Holland Lop pets. All of my babies are handled daily and are in the process of being litter trained when they go to the forever homes. I do keep a wait list with a non-refundable $50 deposit. All of my babies will be adopted out as pets. I will sell to other breeders on occasion for an additional fee. My babies will come with a birth certificate, but not a pedigree. If you are wanting a pedigree, please contact me.
You can be placed on the wait list at any time with a deposit. Once I know gender of
my babies, I will get in touch with those on my wait list, in order. I will also send a text
letting you know an email has been sent. If I do not hear anything from you in 24 hours I will
assume you are no longer interested and that you are forfeiting your deposit.
The form is at the bottom of this page.
All of my bunnies are spoiled and loved. I handle the babies from birth so they are tame.
They have play times and snuggle time! They are usually all using a litter box for pee by the time
they go to their new homes. Poo takes longer, they are not cats, but they can learn!
Once you are contacted you need to respond and you must put a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of $150 to hold the bunny for you. If you paid the $50 for my
waitlist, you will need to put down $100 towards your full deposit at this time.
My babies are $300 currently.
The non-refundable deposit will go towards your final fee. This deposit may be made through Paypal (using friends and family), Venmo or the Cash App.
If you are interested in my babies, you may sign up for my waitlist (paying the deposit) or
wait until I post available babies at 4-5 weeks. This happens when I am confident on
gender. Refunds for deposits will only be given if the bunny you are adopting becomes sick
or if I cancel the adoption. Refunds will not be given for any other reason. Deposits are
non-transferable. The rest of the payment is due in cash when you pick up your bunny.
Please bring a box or carrier to take your bunny home.
CASH ONLY IS DUE AT PICKUP - NO APPS
If you request a certain color and/or gender I will ONLY contact you if your request is available.
If you are open to other colors, just leave it as no preference. I want to make sure you are
getting the best bunny for your family. I need to make sure the babies are healthy and
weaning well. The babies stay with me until they are 8 weeks.
Bailey Bunny Barn is closed to visitors. I will have the bunnies ready and meet you in the driveway or front porch. This precaution is to keep all my rabbits safe and healthy.
I reserve the right to cancel or refuse an adoption as I determine necessary. Once a rabbit has left our barn, I do not hold responsibility. Upon pickup please thoroughly look over your rabbit. I cannot guarantee sex, show quality or fertility. Sexing rabbits at a young age can be difficult. Sometimes I tell the wrong sex by mistake. I do check several times and try to be as accurate as possible, but a mistake can happen! No refunds on wrong gender rabbits. There is plenty of information to be found online, please research your rabbit breed.
I do not knowingly adopt any sick rabbits, my rabbits will be healthy to the best of my knowledge
when they leave the bunny barn. I am not responsible for the rabbit's health after it leaves.
Please do not feed fruits or vegetables or treats from a pet store to rabbits under 6 months of age. I am not responsible for any vet costs after the rabbit has been sold.
I DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS OR RE-HOME BUNNIES ONCE THEY LEAVE MY BARN
If your Bailey Bunny is not working out for your home you may return him/her to our barn up to 48 hours after pick-up. After 48 hours, I do not accept returns or re-home bunnies if they do not work out. It is not my policy to sell other peoples bunnies. I do not have the cage space to foster. There are many resources that you can use online if you need to find them a new home.
Your bunny will need time to adjust to his/her surroundings. I play with our babies daily. They are used to being handled and snuggled. Most bunnies are timid as they leave their bunny family and move to a new family. Keep your bunny's area small and quiet for a day or two before having serious playtime. Listen to your bunny, if it doesn't want to be held or touched, sit by the cage
or near your bunny with a few oats in your hand. Let your bunny come to you, talk gently to it, and pet it softly. Eventually, your bunny's true personality will emerge, but it could take
days or weeks to fully adjust. After a couple days you should begin holding your bunny,
even if he/she is hesitant. Shower your bunny with calm affection and head rubs and
a few oat treats while holding firmly but gently. Bunnies are sensitive animals,
they will become dependent on you and love you for it.
Enjoy your new baby!
All of my Holland Lops are easy tempered, however, I cannot guarantee that any rabbit purchased will never bite or scratch. Under no circumstances am I responsible for any damage caused by the rabbit to personal property or any personal injury, such as biting or scratching.
ALL ADOPTIONS ARE FINAL
