This policy is applicable to everyone, you must attest to having read/received this policy before making a deposit. This policy applies to both the breeder and customer of Rainshadow Lops to protect us, you, and the rabbit(s). Please have transport in mind before making your deposit.
Payment, Prices, Guarantees
A 50% (plus any fees that may happen when not paying with cash) NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required to reserve any rabbit you may buy from me to ensure you are completely serious about purchasing that animal. The remaining total must be paid in full before the rabbit leaves my care (or at pick up if dealing with cash). This deposit will go toward the total cost of the rabbit. You will be sent an invoice upon request.
I have the right to refuse any sale for any reason without explanation. If this is the case a full refund will be given for said deposit.
If a rabbit you have reserved is injured or dies within my care, a full refund will be issued or an animal of equal value may be chosen at that time. I sell based on a first come first serve basis, I'll put you on a contact list if you do not get the rabbit you want from my available litters if this is the case.
Prices vary on type, age, sex, color, quality (pet, brood, show, etc.) My minimum price is $150, they do not go any lower than that. My prices are firm and non-negotiable. While not all animals will get a pedigree, it is already included into the price.
Prices account for feed, cleaning materials (shavings, sanitation products), my time, care and attention, providing a handleable, healthy animal.
I breed for pet, brood, and show quality animals. No animal will leave my care unless it is healthy. This is to ensure both you and I can be satisfied with the wellbeing of said rabbit(s).
Unless there was a previous agreement made, the rabbit(s) must be picked up within two weeks of them turning 8 weeks old. If you do not come to pick up your rabbit, I have the right to relist the rabbit(s) and your deposit will be forfeited. If you are purchasing a rabbit above the age of 8 weeks old, a two week period still applies from the time the deposit is made unless agreed upon otherwise.
All sales are final once the rabbit(s) leave my care. I will not give refunds or exchanges.
I currently only take cash, Zelle, and PayPal (if a charge occurs you will be responsible for covering the charge and remaining balance.
I have a closed rabbitry, to ensure the safety of my animals I do not allow outside visitors to come meet my rabbits. This is to keep the animals safe from any diseases or parasites. For my safety and yours, all pick ups will be made at an agreed upon PUBLIC location.
I cannot guarantee your rabbit(s) will place in any shows even if their parents have done so.
I cannot guarantee your rabbit(s) adult weight or fertility.
I cannot guarantee your rabbit(s) temperament and although I am pretty good at sexing rabbits, it is difficult to tell the sex of young rabbits even for experienced breeders therefore I cannot 100% guarantee sex. It is up to the customer (more specific towards breeders purchasing a rabbit from me) to check the rabbits sex at pick up. There will not be exchanges or refunds based on unverified sex.
Once a rabbit leaves my care I cannot guarantee their health, to the best of my knowledge no animal leaves my care injured or ill. Therefore I am not responsible for any medical or vet bills once the animal leaves the rabbitry.
Pedigrees
No "pet" rabbit will leave my rabbitry with a pedigree. I will issue a birth certificate if this is the case.
If you are a breeder or plan to breed the animal at a future date, let me know beforehand and a pedigree will be issued at point of sale.
Names on pedigrees of the rabbit(s) born at Rainshadow Lop's Rabbitry will remain "Rainshadow Lop's ____" for the remainder of their life. All of my rabbits leave with a title and name and this is not to be changed on any pedigree for the remainder of that rabbits life.
Included with your purchase
A bag of transitional feed will be given at pick up. One bag of transitional feed per rabbit will be provided.
Customers who purchase a rabbit from me may come to me with any questions or concerns that may arise throughout the lifetime of said animal(s). I am not a licensed veterinarian, but I am willing to assist to the best of my abilities for any and all rabbits that leave my care.
ALL buyers of PET RABBITS that leave Rainshadow Lop's Rabbitry MUST first contact me if they need to rehome that animal. I will do my best to assist with that process. NO RABBIT that leaves Rainshadow Lop's Rabbitry is to be surrendered to any shelter. If you cannot for any reason keep the rabbit(s), I will take the rabbit(s) back but will not issue a refund.
